Information to #podizens of https://d.consumium.org: The certificate was expired for 26 hrs, sorry about that, now fixed. Seems I did not successfully generate the right conf for acme.sh, and that caused that the cronjob did not to renew the cert. I'll get this sorted.

Information to #podizens of https://d.consumium.org: The data center is connected again since 00:00 UTC 2021-09-08 and thus #pod is back up. The issue was identified as a broken fiber. The issue was resolved by the carrier company fixing their fiber.

Apologies to #podizens of https://d.consumium.org: There was an outage due to an unexpected server restart that took place 4 days ago. I should daemonize the d* and the GNU Mediagoblin, so no outages like this would occur upon unexpected restart.
Information to #podizens of https://d.consumium.org: The cert had expired Mon 2021-07-19, now fixed. The cronjob that renews the certs had run fine, but the root cronjob to reload nginx had failed to execute, so the fresh certs were not in use. Need to find out why and fix
Good news for #podizens of https://d.consumium.org: Debian Bullseye i.e. version number 11 will be released on 2021-07-31. After the hosting guys get the new images ready, I'll be moving this #diaspora* #pod to Finland to a clean Debian 11 and then upgrade the d* to 0.7.15.0
Information for #podizens of https://d.consumium.org: The attempted upgrade to 0.7.15.0 did not work because Debian9 does not have Redis >=4.0. Could not get redis-server 4 to install with backports either. Moving to Debian11 when the better hosting guys get the images ready.
