SSL certificate expired
I'd like to remind you that your SSL certificate has expired on Apr 19th.
Letsencrypt only seems to issue short-lived certificates valid for 90 days but setting up automated renewal should be easy.

We are planning to use SSL in the future and the https site is only for testing, it's not supported yet. We'll post a formal announcement as soon as SSL is supported, but this might still take a little while as we have some other stuff on our list before this.
Re: SSL certificate expired
I've used a free SSL provider called StartSSL for my personal server.
There's also self-signed. Self-signed SSLs are still SSLs and provide a equal level of protection, they just aren't verified by an official CA.
Looking forward to seeing SSL implemented here.

I've been doing it since January without running into any trouble. There's unencrypted external content but login seems secure. Or am I missing something? What's not implemented yet?
Re: SSL certificate expired
There are no drawbacks other than having to keep up with when it expires, a small hit to site performance, and, if it's a SSL verified by a CA, there is a monthly fee to keep it verified.Hourai wrote:What exactly is the drawback of using SSL on this site?

Re: SSL certificate expired
But regarding the average user I just wondered why it was recommended to use the unencrypted site instead when https appears to work fine.

Re: SSL certificate expired
This time around, I installed it in a more-official manor, so it renews and restarts httpd when a new cert is issued. So we'll see if it lasts past Aug 27th this time... =)
