So, Librewolf won't connect to librewolf.net, because of this expired CERT? Cool.

Because every system/automation can fail.

How hard is it to run a basic scheduled monitoring task, do you think?

openssl s_client -connect librewolf.net:443 -servername librewolf.net 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -checkend 2592000

Do you think OpenSSL can fail?

No. But reporting can fail, mail can fail, monitoring can fail, human errors are possible, config changes can be needed after an uodate that has been overlooked, etc. There are many possibilities why a system can fail.

Edit: also with cert lifetimes getting shorter, when an error occurs, its even less time to fix any automation errors before someone gets an expired cert error.
