macos - Why won't OS X trust GitHub's SSL certificate?


When I go to any github.com page in Chrome, I get a big ugly error:



You attempted to reach github.com, but the server presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may mean that the server has generated its own security credentials, which Chrome cannot rely on for identity information, or an attacker may be trying to intercept your communications.


You cannot proceed because the website operator has requested heightened security for this domain.



The same thing happens (in Chrome and with curl) when I go to https://www.digicert.com/ too. This strange problem started about a week and a half ago.


Here's what I see when I click the broken lock icon in the address bar:


GitHub.com is broken GitHub.com Certificate Information


But gist.github.com works just fine:


Gist.GitHub.com works Gist.GitHub.com Certificate Information


It doesn't work with curl either:


It doesn't work with curl


Everything works fine in Firefox.



Here's what it looks like in Firefox:

I noticed that the first certificate in the chain is different in my broken Chrome/Safari as compared to Chrome on my other computer.

(There's no nasty red X anymore because I trusted it in Safari.) See how the issuers are different? What can I make of that?



Answer



this worked for me:


Keychain.app > Preferences > General > Reset My Default Keychain



UPDATE


A less drastic option is to delete the DigiCert certificate from the login Keychain: you should already have one in the root keychain, anyway. This error appears to occur when the two do not match.

Use Google instead of Bing with Windows 10 search

I want to use Google Chrome and Google search instead of Bing when I search in Windows 10. Google Chrome is launched when I click on web, but it's Bing search. (My default search engine on Google and Edge is http://www.google.com ) I haven't found how to configure that. Someone can help me ? Answer There is no way to change the default in Cortana itself but you can redirect it in Chrome. You said that it opens the results in the Chrome browser but it used Bing search right? There's a Chrome extension now that will redirect Bing to Google, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo , whichever you prefer. More information on that in the second link.

linux - Using an index to make grep faster?

I find myself grepping the same codebase over and over. While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster. So can grep use some sort of index? I understand an index probably won't help for complicated regexps, but I use mostly very simple patters. Does an indexer exist for this case? EDIT: I know about ctags and the like, but I would like to do full-text search. Answer what about cscope , does this match your shoes? Allows searching code for: all references to a symbol global definitions functions called by a function functions calling a function text string regular expression pattern a file files including a file

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y...
