SSL Errors on DelphiDabbler.com? Everything's Cool(ish)

The Chrome browser on my Android tablet reported a problem with the security certificate on https://delphidabbler.com this morning (2021/10/04 06:50 GMT).

Neither my Android phone nor my PC reported such errors a little later. Neither did my tablet when I tried Firefox.

Anyhow I've checked with https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=delphidabbler.com to check and the certificate was OK at 07:57 GMT (12:57 PST). https://www.delphidabbler.com was fine too.

Anyhow - if you're getting the same error be assured everything seems to be now cool! If in doubt use http://delphidabbler.com instead - or even the mirror on https://delphidabbler.github.io/

UPDATE 1: Just (09:23 GMT) received a similar error while using Subversion to commit a change to SourceForge. Like my site, the problematic certificate was issued by Lets Encrypt!. Could there be a problem with that service? Service status shows normal & the last reported problem was high demand on 1 October, but it does seem a bit of a coincidence!

UPDATE 2: Uwe Raabe has pointed out that there's a known issue with Let's Encyrpt since the start of October 2021. They're working on an update, but it's not clear how long this will take. Thanks Uwe. See what Let's Encrypt say.

Please comment if you're getting the problem in a day or so's time.

Comments are very welcome, but please don't comment here if:

1) You have a query about, or a bug report for, one of my programs or libraries. Most of my posts contain a link to the relevant repository where there will be an issue tracker you can use.

2) You have a query about any 3rd party programs I feature, please address them to the program's developer(s) - there will be a link in the post.

3) You're one of the tiny, tiny minority who are aggressive or abusive - in the bin you go!

Thanks
