gmane is most problematical on weekends.

Well we've had buildbot failures in the middle of the week.

Why I did not say 'only' ;-).

aioe went away for several months a couple of years ago or so.
Let us hope it stays up for awhile now.
The ssl connection currently does not work (expired certificate).

More specifically, if, with Thunderbird, I turn on SSL/TLS, (which switches from port 119 to 563), I get *invalid* certificate message - good for aioe.org, news.aioe,org, but not nntp.aioe.org. I believe SSL worked before the hiatus so it might be an oversight in restarting.

Funny, it shows that the NNTP SSL tests don't check the certificate,
then.

Or not thoroughly.
