Work, expiring certs 

A bunch of people reported problems today and it was discovered that they had all been issued certificates with a 10 year expiry.. 10 years ago. And the certificate authority used doesn't exist anymore

Don't worry, everyone, it wasn't DNS this time.

@rune One wonders why the certificate authority issuing 10 year certificates does not exist anymore :blob_lurking:

@joepie91 because we deleted the physical machine it was stored on.

The kicker is of course one poor dev going "can't we just extend the expiration time on this certificate until we can migrate to the new system"

Oh, friend.. Have you heard of math?

@rune Ah, I thought you meant "certificate authority" in the company sense, in which case the reason would be explained by the economics of selling certs for which the customer does not need to return for a decade :P
