I didn't copy&paste the text (because the prompt is not a minibuffer
and here I'm exposed to the undesirable difference ;-), so maybe you're
right: maybe I didn't read carefully enough to notice it said "gwene"
instead of "gmane".

[...comparing my network-security.data with my backup's...]

Yup, you're right, it seems that it was gwene's so I guess it's
a misconfiguration there where they share a single certificate but only
tell Letsencrypt about one of the two names.

Thanks,


        Stefan
