It sounds like technically there was a $40 charge for an “SSL certificate” (this sounds fake) so if three people want to Venmo me $10 that would be cool: @Nick-Magrino

You can make your screen name the comment and I’ll post er in the thread 😎

Thanks! I'll sponsor 2021 if I get a commemorative brick out of the deal.

Site5 -- which wouldn't be my choice, but it is a nightmare to move a big phpBB install, so delaying that.

Looks like you can enable AutoSSL in cPanel to get free SSL certs using Let's Encrypt:

Yes, cPanel has it and many cPanel hosts have that turned on, but Site5 deliberately does not for their shared hosting. I prefer Let's Encrypt (both because of the $0 price and the superior validation setup)

Yikes. I can see why you're not a fan.

So what went on behind the scenes? The streets.mn board decided they wanted to integrate it, then abruptly changed their mind and decided they want nothing whatsoever to do with it?

Not really abruptly. It’s fine!

I also got donations from Grant Simons, Matt Steele, and Nathan Jorgenson.

Let me second that! The fairly decent hosting company I was using was bought out by Site5 (The Buy-N-Large of the hosting world), which I promptly left because of their SSL fees and their bad reputation, even though 1.5 years of service had already been paid for (non-refundable). I found a great new hosting service for my business, monstermegs.com, based in Wisconsin. They offer free "Let's Encrypt" certificates, the only catch being that you have get a unique IP address, not a shared IP address (of course), which is a small added expense. But I have been very satisfied with my service.

I've been all-in on Linode for years, but you don't get cpanel or anything with them it's just a bare VPS.

Hey gang, paid another $108 for hosting last month if anyone wants to slip me some cash on Venmo at @Nick-Magrino.

Also, does anyone want to take this over?

I'd be happy to. Venmo is asking me to provide the last four digits of your phone number to let the payment drop.
