Having to see the warning is not the problem. It's that it's justified,
even if it's "just" the Gambas wiki and bugtracker.

Then don't use https.

For starters, I use the acme.sh script [1] to update the certificate
periodically. [ FWIW, Let's Encrypt recommends a python script named
certbot [2] but it would OOM consistently on a tiny VPS of mine when
it tried to update itself, so I looked for something else. ]
However, I'm just a hobbyist. There are probably people here who have
a better view of these things.

I see that gambaswiki.org responds as thttpd which doesn't have https
support at all. So I see now why your colleagues don't really want
to dig into that topic :-)
