Title: Server Downgrade
Post by: Rat Catcher on March 30, 2023, 11:49:36 am
As a result of the same custom (free) SSL certification is no longer available. Hence the HTTPS site will no longer operate and will redirect to the HTTP site. This may result in non-secure connection error messages on most browsers as connection over HTTP is not encrypted. On a practical level this is not a problem as no secure (financial, etc) information is required to use the forum. On the plus side it will resolve database connection issues which were caused by switching from HTTPS to HTTP when clicking the database link back when HTTPS was available.

This is off topic but here goes....

Do ya know the way the trade stats section has Panels section.Can I get that thing to show new cars plated up so we(me mostly) can see which new leccy motors are being plated up.

I'm curious in particular about the new Tesla Y that has dark windows that are supposed to be 70% tint which is the exact ammount permitted by the NTA guidelines.As soon as one gets passed out they all should qualify but it's a 46k gamble as I've read clear windows cannot be sourced.Could be lies though.

If it's not easily possible no problem.It just seems like something that nobody wanted until now.

All new cars? If by reg year I could probably do it... But you can use http://intaxi.org/database/car.php (http://intaxi.org/database/car.php) to research any particular model... and drill down further by clicking the reg numbers in results for vehicle spec courtesy of motorcheck.ie - ATM you have to specify two fields to search (not sure why but there must have been a good reason 'cos I writ it in red ink!) so you could do Teslas one year at a time, for example.

I have to open a Microsoft window to post on here, as with my normal Firefox browser posting is disallowed.

The data you are transmitting is not encrypted hence it could be intercepted by someone who doesn't wish to read the forum yet has sufficient interest to intercept the same. Search engines can't access the members area but can access public areas.

https://letsencrypt.org gives out free SSL certs.

Let’s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA), run for the public’s benefit. It is a service provided by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG).

We give people the digital certificates they need in order to enable HTTPS (SSL/TLS) for websites, for free, in the most user-friendly way we can. We do this because we want to create a more secure and privacy-respecting Web.

That's what I was using. Unfortunately, since I downgraded there's no access to TLS/SSL management so I can't upload the certs.

Car dealer ‘clocked mileage on imports by 100,000km’
Aodhan O’Faolain
Wednesday October 17 2018, 12.01am BST, The Times
Dublin
More than 20 clocked cars were sold to the owners of taxi leasing businesses


A car dealer reduced the mileage on vehicles imported from Japan by as much as 100,000km, a court was told.

Ali Babar, of Cars Point in Milltown Cross, Clondalkin, Dublin, allegedly sold more than 20 “clocked” cars to the owners of two taxi leasing businesses. They discovered their true mileage after studying the vehicles’ records.

Stuart Kessie, of Warrenstown Garth, Blanchardstown, and John McCormack, of Wansford Road, Terenure, and his business partner, Caroline Bermingham, said that the cars, mainly Toyotas, had had their mileage lowered, in some cases from about 170,000km to about 63,000km.

They approached Mr Babar and sought their money back, claiming that they had been deceived into paying over the odds for the cars, but he refused. They also contacted gardaí.

This month they obtained temporary freezing orders against Mr Babar, preventing him from reducing, disposing or transferring any of his assets below a value of €229,000. The orders were granted after they discovered that Mr Babar, of Hollystown Park, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15, had left the country and returned to Pakistan.



An agent of the plaintiffs was told by Ali Asad at Cars Point that he was the new owner of the company, which he had bought from Mr Babar for €700,000 cash. Mr Kessie, Mr McCormack and Ms Bermingham obtained freezing orders against Mr Asad, also of Hollystown Park, and Cars Point after claiming that they were participants in the alleged fraud.

It was also claimed that Mr Asad was an associate of Mr Babar and that the company had entered into a fraudulent conspiracy to prevent the freezing order on Mr Babar’s assets.

The proceedings returned before the High Court yesterday when Thomas Hogan, SC, for the plaintiffs, told Ms Justice Caroline Costello that the action had been resolved and could be struck out.

The judge agreed. No details were revealed in court.
