Thanks for fixing up the ssl certs, Tony. That will help a lot.

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
Acererak the Demi-Lich in a best-of-three match of Joust.

I did the vulcan mind meld with arbornet and it told me that the deep
state often white-washes real crimes from cabal allies.

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.

Okay, so Grex was out of commission for several days last week. I'm told
it was due to a power outage, which I can believe given all the storms
and outages we've had in SE Michigan this year. Thanks to Tony for getting
it all back up and running again!

One thing that is not currently working is our RT help desk web
application. At least when I try to access it, it never loads the page
and times out. So, something isn't quite right there yet. It seems
the other parts of RT are working, such as assigning ticket numbers.
Thus, while I still get help desk e-mails and can act on them (such as
do password resets and validations), I can't respond except through a
personal account. I'd rather not do that.

I was able to log in on the RT web application yesterday and do some
clean up. So it appears to be working now.

Okay, you probably noticed that grex was not found for a few weeks.
This is something going on with some hardware and Tony finally had the
time to look into it. Thanks, Tony!
Not sure what we could've done. Hardware sometimes causes issues, and
like most of us, the time to look into might be enough to getting done
it up immediately. We have been lucky that Tony has been able to give
Grex a home for years. So please thank Tony for looking into it!
Welcome back, Grex!
(I had 87 emails when I logged in, so it must have been doing something
part of the time, we just couldn't access it).

Thank you, Tony! Glad to have Grex back!
And also thanks to Tony for all the unsung work he has done for years keeping
Grex running. Does Grex collect enough donations that running the server is
at least not a financial burden?

The grex hardware was virtualized several years back when it failed the
last time, so it now runs on a VMware server with many other machines I
use for work. So it's really not a financial burden on me, as I'd have
the hardware either way. Having it virtualized, though, does present
somewhat of a challenge as hosting it elsewhere would involve some
complexities. We've discussed a bit about finding a hosted solution, but
bsd (any dirivitive, but openbsd I've never seen) is a very uncommon
supported virtualization OS.
