Outage Alert for Saturday, August 23rd, 2025
2025-08-21
By Chris Covert

Rantburg.com will experience some momentary outage sometime tomorrow Saturday morning. We are shifting from a temporary Secure Socket Layer certificate to a permanent one. You still will be able to access rantburg.com under the rantburg.com name, but with the nagging warnings.

newrantburg.1dogstar.net will not be affected by his change.

When the new certificate is installed, tested, and working, there won't be a further notification.

#9  Thank you, badanov.

This is the second time today that somebody thought today was Friday. I even got a "TGIF" note.

Out here, it is the excitement for next week's weather forecast.

Speaking of Outage:
The new Cracker Barrel logo is an affront to the arts and humanities. I'm not saying corporate logo art has soul, it doesn't, but it at least tries to do something. Look at the various Nintendo or Taco Bell logos, for example. This looks like someone forgot to turn on the other 5 layers before flattening image. And it isn't the artist's fault, it is everyone in the approval process.

And if this is the greater part of capturing a "younger demographic" by hyping pride displays, erasing the interior charm, and this logo is the, ugh,...face..., I say, "Sell, sell, sell."
