Looks like a problem. Firefox on Windows 10 reports:
Web sites prove their identity via certificates, which are valid for a set time period. The certificate for gridwatch.org.uk expired on 28/01/2020. Error code: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE
Was OK 23:05 last night (27/01/2020).
Bollocks Its suppose to autorenew
should be OK now..
Insta-repsonse - yes, seems fine. Thank you.
Well I'd have thought on the day it should still work. Who hosts it and where? Brian
It'll expire the second after the time it's valid until ... check back at 09:03:51 on 27th April.
It works perfectly. It is the observer's browser that rejects its owner's request to see the site.
Basically the old VPS crashed when I upgraded it and tech support was so poor that I buult a new site in 6 hourswith a different vendor and got it running. I imported the certificate keys but never imported the cron job that updates the keys, so it expired.
I reinstalled the CertBot and its all now happily updating itself every few hours.
The problem is that browsers wet their pants over 'insecure' sites. So you have to proivide encrypted gridwatch data. Wow! Is the NSA listening? Does anyone want it?
No.
But users get worried by 'this site is insecure' and even more panicked by 'self certified' sites so you need a third party to certify it.
PS unless you donate, the site will not set a cookie, and I am not even sure paypal does.
Yet I should have a cookie policy statement too.
THIS SITE INTENTIONALLY DORS NOT NEED COOKIES TO OPERATE AND SETS NONE.
Just looked for the first time in a long while, and it's a nice clean site: it works over plain HTTP if required, and also works well without Javascript (I use noscript).
Only thing Javascript does is pop up the tooltips over the dials.
<script type="text/javascript">function hide(x) { document.getElementById(x).style.display='none'; } function show(x) { document.getElementById(x).style.display='inline'; } </script>
The only thing I can't find (and it may just be me) is the total consumption on the pop up values on the graphs. One can read it off the scale, or possibly even add up all the other figures, but I would find it interesting.
I do that with CSS.
On hover etc?
Yup. Seems to work fine.
