We should definitely setup letsencrypt for our ssl certs. I think I
started looking into it and then got busy with my own $day_job. :)
In other news, we were offline for the better part of 3 days due to a
storm on Monday. Multiple lightning strikes were reported by my
equipment, the closest being 0.3 miles away. It took out my internet
router, a video card, one of my STB's and caused some really weird shit
with multiple other computer components on my network. AT&T came out
this evening and got the internet back online. The graphics card for my
main pc was the biggest issue for me. :( Luckily I'll get that
Friday...but in the meantime, Grex is back....

What was the STB? (Roku?)
Thanks for getting it back online

resp:166: U-Verse receivers. My Roku devices are all still working fine.
I was rather surprised to see the U-Verse receiver dead. My network gear
all had to be rebooted after the strike, as they weren't passing
traffic. One of the switches I had to reboot twice before it finally
started working properly. All in all really weird shit I haven't seen in
storms up to now. All of the equipment was behind UPS' too, although I
suspect the surge that took out the AT&T RG probably came through the
phone line which is unprotected.

resp:168: Indeed. Annoying how much equipment I've lost this summer! I'm
still upset at having the UPS taken out a couple months ago. :(
I've now configured acme-client on grex and enabled/installed an SSL
certificate from letsencrypt. Still need to automate this so that it
renews automatically every 3 months, but at least it's now as simple as
running acme-client to generate a new ssl certificate, and then restart
nginx.

ssl certificates should now auto-renew as well, and restart nginx when
it does...we'll see in December!

Time on Grex is almost 2 hours off. It's not the TZ setting we use.
For some reason the clock has wandered. Perhaps ntpd stopped running
or never got restarted? Or maybe a reboot knocked the clock out of
whack.

Interesting. Thanks for the report; I sync'ed it manually
(doas rdate -n pool.ntp.org) and it's now sync'ed as a
stratum 3 server.
I've found that the NTP server in OpenBSD tends to drift
occasionally, sometimes substantially; particularly on a
virtualized machine.

Wouldn't surprise me if I needed to correct the time on the hypervisor.
I'll have to take a look sometime.

In order to adjust the Grex time module, an OASIS avatar must defeat

I did the vulcan mind meld with arbornet and it told me that the deep

Looks like my script to auto-renew ssl certs worked in that it did
automatically renew (in November), but I had used a different filename
than the one that was created when it was renewed, so when it bounced
nginx it didn't pick up the new cert. I changed the nginx config to
reference the correct file, so in Jan when it renews it should work as
intended.

Looks like my script is now working again. It renewed automatically
about a month ago.
Grex has been recently unavailable due to another bad modem. I had a
power outage about 2 weeks ago, which I believe likely contributed
to/caused this. Wednesday I called in to schedule a service tech and
they attempted to update the firmware to resolve it. It worked for an
hour or so after that, at which point the modem bricked. It came back
online Friday evening but for some reason nginx wouldn't serve pages (or
some other OS issue was blocking requests). I rebooted this morning and
things seem fine now.

Thanks for getting Grex back on-line, Tony. I know it must take a lot of time
and frustration.
