This is a IT consulting Firm Local to me, and I was looking to send them my resume ...but it looks like their cert is invalid or self signed..
So that begs the question- is it normal to use a self signed cert on a public webpage?
- would i even continue to send them my resume ?
interesting.
- No, not since Let's Encrypt was publicly available.
- Also no, I would not.

Normal for incompetent noobs with zero clue how to hire basic IT support, yes.
A good sign, no. It means that they aren't qualified to HIRE IT well, let alone do it.

Contact them and express the opportunity for you to run the firm for them because clearly, they have no idea about the most basic stuff.

Now truly that would be a fun call to make.

No reason not to. Consider it part of the interview, the part that tells you where they sit in comparison to you.

I mean, would you want to work for a place that allows your landing page to be stopped because of a self-signed cert... ?

I just went off on Connectwise for calling our support line to try to get to someone to make sales. They wouldn't let support do their jobs. Clearly they don't take IT support seriously. What ass hats. I was non-too polite by the time that it got to me.

Now I'm curious to see how that conversation would go.

Hi, I was trying to get on your website to get more information about your company, and I notice that you're getting a certificate error for invalid certificate, That can't be right, youre an IT consulting firm so are you using a self signed cert? I can help you get your website certificate up to date for you, I'll bill you of course or we can talk about my employment at your firm.
I dont think that'd go over well.

Frankly, I think you should call and say something pretty close to that. you don't want to work there - so there's no risk here, but hearing how they respond could be enlightening.

Na it's the station, got a cheap t12 and having issues with the temps. Set it to 400 and if I check. With my multimeter it only show 300.
So under temp so pads are getting hot, also when trying to wik to clean the iron sticks.Trying to see if I can get a 2nd hand hakko 951 or JCB
