Oh my, that sounds bad. I wonder how many certs were up for renewal... thanks for sharing I didn't see this in the news.

Hi all, it looks like discuss.online's automatic SSL juju didn't work right and the existing cert expired just a bit ago:

$ curl -vI https://discuss.online/
...
* Server certificate:
*   subject: CN=discuss.online
*   start date: Feb  8 06:59:01 2026 GMT
*   expire date: May  9 06:59:00 2026 GMT
*   issuer: C=US; O=Let's Encrypt; CN=E8

I'm sure it'll get fixed, but ... this is where the Far Side comics are hosted. 911 yall break glass beep the pagers we've got a code 2319 people. Save the cows.


Update awhile later: SSL cert was replaced. The cows have tools, which leads to engineering degrees and rapid repairs.

Feline leukemia (FeLV) snd aids (FIV) are a thing, I highly recommend a vet visit for tests before introducing to Paxton. A full blood test & vax shots, inspection can run $$, look around your area for rescue groups, call them and ask who they go to for care.

(adding to your info) I use Audacious on Linux desktop, it's great at handling streams and has a nice interface, very configurable. I choose to keep it a minimalist "in the corner" style.

Soundcloud kinda took the same journey as Flickr - at first they had a solid hold on a corner of mindshare and people loved it and used it a lot. But then over the years conflicting mission goals appear and the site gets pulled back and forth, shedding a lot of users in the process. In modern terms, enshittification.

Eventually they make their way back around to possibly where they started, but by then they've lost all momentum and mindshare. Just like I never went back to Flickr, I just now tried to log into Soundcloud and it hit me with a "been too long since you've logged in, forced password reset" so I closed the window and walked away.

I have been a Transistor user for a long time, the releases are always solid - the dev chose to shut down external contributions (bug reports/code fixes) on their Codeberg repo a few years back, so you kinda get what you get. No shade, it works great. https://codeberg.org/y20k/transistor

Shoutcast (Icecast) streams are still going strong if you're willing to put in some effort uncovering ones for your genres. SomaFM is still going strong, Big Sonic Heaven is online, DecayFM, Voice of Doom, Dark Asylum, even public radio like CHIRP (Chicago) are pumping out streams run by humans playing new music.
