I will have an outage sometime on November 1st to potentially address the recently discovered [url=https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities-threats/prepare-critical-flaw-openssl-security-experts-warn]Critical Vulnerability in OpenSSL. I'm unsure of time, OpenSSL has not indicated when they will drop the patch on Nov 1 yet.
I need to do an OS upgrade, so this is an opportune time to do that as well. It's likely the site actually isn't vulnerable, which is why I stick to an LTS distro that just backports security patches for quite some time :good:

Very prudent - definitely also a fan of using LTS on production sites for just this kind of fun. Thank you for all of the work you do to keep this excellent site running! :D

Yeah, my understanding is it only impacts quite new versions of OpenSSL (approx. last year), so if running LTS I doubt you are impacted.
