folks,
we've rolled out limited support for ssl on geekhack. https://geekhack.org will bring you to the TLS enabled version of the site, that encrypts and authenticates your password between our servers and your machine. in particular, you will need to tell your browser that it is ok to load _mixed content_ on geekhack.org
in google chrome:
on the right side of the location text field, there will be a shield icon. click the shield icon and then "load insecure content"
i will add instructions as people report issues.
-
I have done that, but it automatically switches back to regular http after I load a different page on gh, for example when I click to write a reply.
-
Good stuff! Problem is allowing the mixed content only works per-page or seems to be a temporary setting (at least in Firefox), and otherwise the GH stylesheet breaks completely :/
Also found that currently adding 'www' returns a 403 error page.

This too.

this may be fixed.

I think it works pretty darned good now. :)

Yah for HTTPS!
Maybe it is just me, but your root cert doesn't appear to be trusted by all browsers. I see it just fine in IE and Chrome, but Firefox and Chrome on my phone both say the cert is untrusted and shows no chain.
-
Chrome and Safari on OS X seem happy with the cert. IE and Chrome on Windows don't complain. iPhone trusts the cert as well.
The SSL cert was donated...so I didn't choose the certificate authority. :)
-
CAs on phone distributions are always a PITA. your phone's android distribution could be > a year old depending on your carrier, manufacturer, etc. etc. etc.
just push on through
-
It works now - nice fix, mk.

all imav

Totally understand - free is good!
If it helps at all, I think the issue I was seeing isn't the root, but part of the chain. Specifically the COMODO RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA certificate. Sometimes this can happen if the full chain isn't installed, or, and perhaps more likely, it could just be that my browser isn't having it. Either way, I appreciate the HTTPS so I'm not going to complain.
Thanks!

Appreciate the effort to move us to SSL/TLS!
I did notice that ever since the upgrade my tapatalk hasn't been working. I thought maybe I needed to log out and back in but I haven't been able to sign back in after logging out.
Edit - Looks like we're also missing the intermediate certs - https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=https://geekhack.org

Working now imav!

Yep, my mobile browser is giving me **** about the certs.
-
Firefox on Xubuntu complains about the certs.
-
Chrome on Linux Mint and on Crunchbang Linux accepts the certificate. Tapatalk isn't working for me either on stock Android 4.4.4 anymore, and chrome for android also doesn't like the cert here.
-
How does it look now?

Tapatalk isn't working.

Chrome on android is happy now, it seems

Ok, cool. Looking into Tapatalk right now.

Tapatalk works fine. Just need to delete and re-add the forum.

Got it working now after deleting and re-adding the forum. Thanks imav!

Everything looks good here (intermediate cert and tapatalk). Thanks for your work! :thumb:
-
:thumb: kudos.
-
Working now, thanks :)

Tapatalk isn't working for me.

have you tried deleting the forum and adding it again?
also, what version of tapatalk?

That worked. 4.9.5

Yay! This is probably one of the most important things to happen to this site that almost none of the users will care about :P
-

Tapatalk is no longer working for me either. I suspect it has something to do with the SSL roll out, but I do not know that for sure.

Woops, I should have read this before I posted... I just removed and re-added Geekhack and it is working again. Thanks... :)

So, I'm not sure if it's the move to SSL or just something on my end, but I've been noticing that after signing in via the top-left fields while viewing a thread it redirects me to a different thread, rather than the one I was on. In one case it opened a thread I had in another tab. Weird.
-
i suspect i know what's going on with that, but if it's benign, i think we're better of leaving that one alone.
-
I'm not sure if it is related to SSL, but I only started noticing this at home and work since SSL has been in place.
When I load a thread with unread topics, the text on the page seems to load fairly quickly, but then there is a long pause before the "unread" icon appears next to the unread threads. This is a bit distracting as I click those icons to visit the first new post in each of the relevant threads.
