• Renew SSL Certificate InstructionsJuly 13, 2023

  https://punchsalad.com/ssl-certificate-generator/

  

  Here are the instructions. The link to the actual certificate generator is above. (It’s in these instructions as well.)

  The page where you upload the new certificates is from cpanel, in the Security section, click on SSL/TLS. On the right side of that page is a link Manage SSL Sites. Click that.

  At the bottom of that page is a section called “Install an SSL Website.” Select the gregoryberry.net domain from the dropdown.

  Now, on the Let’s Encrypt page where you generated the new certificates, copy the first box (CRT+CA Bundle). Paste that into the top box on the cpanel page. That text block actually has TWO certificates. You have to find the beginning of the second certificate, CUT it from this box and paste it into the bottom box (CABUNDLE).

  Then copy the second box on the Let’s Encrypt page (Private Key) and paste it into the second box on the cpanel page (Private Key (KEY)).

  That’s it! Hit Install and you’re done. Test it to make sure it’s been updated!

• WittgensteinDecember 24, 2022

  Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen.

  

  The next reading in the philosophy group is going to be Wittgenstein. Old Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations.

  Go here for all of Wittgenstein’s books.

  https://gregoryberry.net/library/philosophy/wittgenstein

  We will read the Tractatus first, then Philosophical Investigations. The Blue and Brown Books are after that, for reference. The Tractatus has the English first, German second. The Investigations have them on facing pages. The German should be on the left (verso). If your reader puts it on the right, let me know, I can send you another one that will fix the problem.

Not only inspections! Schedule an appointment today. Residential, Commercial & Industrial Professional.
