Wow - that was insanely easy. I'm used to a command line compile process with lots of configuration variables to setup... Etc.. Etc..

Thank you so much Paul!

Best,
Travis

I am getting an error message for the https certificate:

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for racket-news.com. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.gitlab.io, gitlab.io

I think you probably went to www.racket-news.com, but you should go to
racket-news.com (without the www) instead.

When I ignore the certificate error I get a gitlab styled 502 response code.

I wanted to read the news so I found the gitlab repository and within it this markdown file: https://gitlab.com/racket-news/racket-news.gitlab.io/-/blob/master/_src/posts/2020-07-06-issue34.md
Posting this in case others have trouble seeing racket-news.com too.

I think you probably went to www.racket-news.com, but you should go to
racket-news.com (without the www) instead.

With or without www I get a certificate error, when I ignore the certificate I get a 502 from gitlab.
With different browsers and curl all give me the same responses.
Does racket-news.com work for you? If so what could I check on my end?

(I don't know how reliable this site is but) this also claims that racket-news.com is down

I think the site is hosted via gitlab and something there stopped working.

Ah, it is now no longer working for me (it worked earlier this morning).

It turns out it was a brief error by gitlab.

Hi Travis,

Curious to what you are referring to here. What was insanely easy?

Kind regards,

Paulo Matos

Sorry for this. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread this was already fixed. It seemed
gitlab was momentarily down.

There are two alternatives to read the news:
1. Register for the newsletter in https://racket-news.com and you'll get
the issue by email.
2. Each time I upload a new issue, I archive it using the web archiver,
therefore from the moment an issue is published, even if gitlab is down,
the issue is accessible here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20200707081858/https://racket-news.com/2020/07/racket-news-issue-34.html

I probably should mention that publicly.

Kind regards,
