It's been a few months since I last checked in on my nntp
account with eternal-september, but TB is reporting that there
is a certif problem:

https://susepaste.org/24549546

It seems to look fine in the sense that the dates are still
good.

But is there a way to update the certif and be able to log in?

Most likely this is due to the fact one of Let's Encrypt's certifiers has an expired cert.

Maybe you can remove DST X3 from your trust chain (since it is expired) and add the self signed
let's encrypt certificate from here:

https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/

The info and reason is all good, but I need a step-by-step
intruction on how to work with certifs. I downloaded what I
though was a required replacement/updated certif [Cross-signed
by DST Root CA X3] from one of the above links, but it prompted
me for a password to proceed with the installation.

Meanwhile, I learned that OpenXP doesn't care about any
certifs, and I can fetch my eternal-september messages with
that. I don't need to use TB at all. But it wold be nice to
fix the certif problem.

You need the self-signed certificate, not the cross-signed one, since the cross-signed one is using an old, expired trust chain.

I am sure there are ten thousand guides floating around the internet regarding certificate updateing. Most Linux and BSDs around got the problem fixed via a regular update.

I installed both self0signed ones, and I did that in XP and TB.

Still doesn't work.

I know how to go through the "install certif" process in XP and
TB. But, these marked "==>" are not making any difference:

Active

ISRG Root X1 (RSA 4096, O = Internet Security Research Group, CN = ISRG Root X1)

Self-signed: der, pem, txt

Active, limited availability

ISRG Root X2 (ECDSA P-384, O = Internet Security Research Group, CN = ISRG Root X2)

Self-signed: der, pem, txt

You also have to manually remove the expired DST X3 one.

Just a little followup.. I tried their "test" links below:

ISRG Root X1
Valid <== this one worked OK
Revoked <== this one loaded properly with "revoked"
Expired <== this wouldn't load.

ISRG Root X2
Valid <== this one worked OK
Revoked <== this one loaded with a "revoked" page.
Expired <== this one wouldn't load.


So.. the certifs are probably installed fine in system/browser
program?

Now, only TB's mail system is still complaining about
invalidity. :(

Thunderbird and Firefox have their own certificate databases. They don't use the system's.

Ah.. That I haven't done.

But I didn't see any "LetsEncrypt" certifs in the list of
certifs.

Because it is not a Let's Encrypt certificate. It is an Internet Security Research Group certificate. Internet Security Research Group are the owners of Let's Encrypt.
