TLS/SSL Certificate Hell

    obfuscated csr
Pardon me while I wind up my certificate renewal.

As usual last minute developments complicated everything to the nth degree.

I find myself filled with hate and discontent for the world wide web, email, and every aspect of running a server cluster and internet node from my house.

I had to rebuild an obsolete server just to receive certificate updates.

I will conclude matters today.

This is a scant 10 days before things expire.

So while I'm bitching and moaning I try to keep it all in perspective.

There were days when my server cluster was the hallmark of my existence.

That was then this is now.

I am also left feeling I need a new certificate vendor as mine is totally unsatisfactory.
