SSL certs are automatable and free now with letsencrypt. No reason to not keep this place around so we can all be embarrassed by our 14yo selves.

+1 to letsencrypt - I come by and laugh at how dumb I once was/how much has not changed.

Can just cron renewing the cert, too, as simple as:

Code Select Expand


$ certbot renew --standalone

Haha yeah, it was more of a plan, but eh? I didn't check back, and I just renewed the domain for 3 years and fixed the SSL cert. So we won't have to worry about this again till 2018 :)

[x86] Announcements / Server finally died :D

Last post by iago - August 22, 2015, 11:57:55 PM

I couldn't get MySQL to turn on this morning. I knew it was coming - it's been having harddrive problems for awhile.

So, I moved everything to Linode, and it seems to be good! Let me know if you run into any problems, something always goes wrong when I move the server.

FWIW, my last backup was a week old, so earlier today there were a couple posts missing. I just went back and copied the original files (not backups, but the files themselves) off my old server and loaded them here, and it seems to be working. :)
