PSA: git.idk.i2p will be switching to HTTPS in order to resolve issues with gitlab

[eyedeekay]

In order to resolve issues in the way gitlab handles HTTPS and WebSockets connections, git.idk.i2p will switch to HTTPS with a self-signed certificate. I believe this is essentially unavoidable with gitlab. This will require users to import the self-signed certificate into their I2P browser. It is highly recommended by the gitlab admin, me, that you do this with an I2P-only browser, not a browser used for clearnet navigation.

For verification, the fingerprint of the certificate is:

This transition will occur in 2 days. It is not expected to incur much downtime but gitlab service will be momentarily interrupted.

HTTPS is up and running. HTTP will continue to work but users are advised to switch to HTTPS if they are having issues with gitlab features not working, false-positive errors, websocket issues, etc.
