  1. That should be a temporary fix... for posting now. Trying to fit this in between classes and office hours. Usually office hours are free time :). I just got rid of a young lady who sat in here for almost 3 hours all by crying. Calc II is hard any how, but it's really hard when you lack the prerequisite algebra and trig skills... sorry just venting.
  2. It seems like there is usually an early season hiccup too. Perhaps it's the increase in traffic, perhaps is coincidental...
  3. Every little bit helps. My services are free, but you have to wait for me to fit anything needing work here into my normal work flow. One my wish list for here, I need a couple drives and want some RAM: Drives such as this one (we need two as replacements for aging drive, but the server would hold eight of them): https://www.newegg.com/p/1Z4-00WE-00082 RAM such as this set would fill the machine and replace a couple failing sticks that are throwing errors right now: https://cloudninjas.com/products/dell-288gb-18-x-16gb-ddr3-1333-mhz-pc3-10600r-ecc-registered-server-memory-upgrade-kit Those two things would go a long way towards seeing our 2011 server last many more years. ...just a wish list since you ask, but I wouldn't sent them back if then showed up on my stoop. 🙂
  4. Anything you find that appears to be broken by all means leave me a not in here. I'm still tracking issue, but at least it appears the basic functionality has been restored.
  5. ...for the downtime this week. My main reason for making this post is really to test. This 'thing' has been a pain in my back side this week. Carry on, enjoy yourselves.
  6. I'm having all sorts of backend issue right now. I will continue working on those known issue and hopefully it fixes this too. If not I'll check it out next.
  7. Every time it comes up, the neighborhood fights it. They won't allow lights to go up. Many a softball game has been called early there for darkness. :-/ If that attitude has changed I haven't seen it yet. I have several friends who live just east of Lane M.S. and I know they don't care one way or the other (at least they wouldn't fight it).
  8. I think you are correct. I'm a little shocked honestly. $850 from 19 donations in barely 12 hours... Thanks again everyone!
  9. Thanks all. Yes that are also some new features. I haven't even had time to check them out myself. I have everyone up through right now caught up with your booster status.
  10. Thanks for the quick response. I don't have the time to call out each and every name individually, but know you are appreciated for you generous support. I will try to keep up with crediting those who donate with their booster tag, but If I get behind, I apologize now.
  11. It's (past) that time again. A new year is upon us. There are teams to support and bills to pay. There is a now a new Booster group available. The old group is now once again exposed to the ads on the site. To be placed in the Booster 2021-22 group and have the ads hidden from view until July 1, 2022 make a donation of $30 or more anytime this fiscal year. Thank you for all your past and your continued support of the Gridiron Digest.
  12. Well, if you were the ditch digger the answer would be, of course. Just because one chooses to dig a ditch doesn't mean they are incapable of other tasks.
  13. I not sure where you are going using your experience in IT to validate your disagreement. But anyhow, a product as used here is something that is marketed and sold as a commodity. DT was pointing out our failing in marketing for our product. I am simply stating that there is no failure in marketing since it is not intended as a product. We neither market nor sell the Digest. Could it be? That is a completely different question and most likely has a different answer. We have provided it and have only asked for help in the form of donations to pay the basic costs of keeping it open for almost two and a half decades now. That just seems crazy to say. We have guys on hear talking their brand of crap who weren't even born when we started doing this.

  15. You were still transferring over a secure port using HTTPS. The only problem was your browser wasn't convinced we were to be trusted because the certificate it was receiving was expired. Only difference in what is happening now verses what was happening a couple days ago is the certificate it sees now has an expiration of 9/2/2022 instead of 9/2/2020. If you click on the little lock in the address bar and then on the certificate link you can see this for yourself. ...but it may expire in 2021 anyhow as new standards are being rolled out right now that mandates yearly expiration dates, no more multi year certificates in the near future.
  16. It wasn't the certificate in this case... It was me not setting up the permissions correctly. The user running Apache didn't not have read access to the new certs. A couple command line entries to tell SELinux it was alright for Apache to read those and we were rolling again.
  17. Apache wasn't loading the new certificate due to a couple SELinux permission/configuration issue. It took me a couple days to make time to take a good look at it.
  18. All is well with the certificate. Now to try to upgrade the software.
  19. There is no risk... In the mean time ignore the warning and enjoy as usual. The security certificate expired on 9/2/2020. I renewed it over 2 months ago. I have to figure out what Godaddy has done to screw this up, but it's only on the surface. As I already stated there is NOT any risk involved while you visit right now. DK
  20. Mine are currently shoe ads and ads for website hosting and such. LOL That pick is a little much though although technically not a nude. It's close to not meeting Google ad standards in Adsense.
  21. Glad it is happening somewhere. I knew everyone wouldn't share the same opinion and that is fine. My experience in the northeast compared to what I grew up with in SW Ohio lacks a little in my opinion. I have been here for more than a couple decades now and I have not once seen a band at an away football game. From the time I remember going to games in grade school onward the bands were both always at the game and they were always fully dressed, rain or shine, 100 degrees or 0 degrees. Every week they did something different along with some of their usual favorites. Here it is home games only and fair weather only. I did hear rumors once a number of years ago of a visiting teams band desiring to attend a game during playoffs but I'm not aware if they did so. If it's too hot they are in t-shirts and shorts (I don't have a issue with this, it's just different). If it's raining, they head home. When half time is over most band parents head home and at some of the schools the band has pretty much filtered out by the end of the third quarter at others they stay but you never hear an instrument. Many times they don't even bring their instruments to the stands where they sit anymore. The half time production is just that a production, a practice for their competition and it's the same every game. Perhaps it's always been that way around here and it's normal to them. I did make it back to a watch a game with my sister in my neck of the woods in Ohio sometime in the past ten years while a friend's son was a senior and things there are still very similar to what I recall. Both bands were there from before the game until the last whistle. They played from the stands during dead time. They built off of each other back and forth across the field. They pumped up the student sections and the adult fans. They split the time at halftime between the bands so you have to be on and off quickly so no concert instruments lining the entire sideline. A wise band director might inquire about comments like these and learn from them rather than getting butt hurt and taking his ball and going home. All that said there are some very good bands up this way and DeKalb is usually one of them. Norwell, East Noble, Homestead, Carroll, Snider, Northside, Concordia, and Woodlan to name just a few more are good at what they do, it just doesn't fit the mold I grew up with as described above..
