This is a hostmaster error, not a user error.

There are two problems. One (the cert/hostname mismatch) is absolutely a hostmaster error. The other (monk pic link is http only) is a site content problem (call it a "webmaster error" if you want to be all 2nd millennium about it). They both need solving (by different people).

Why doesn't Pair have a cert?

They do - see https://perlmonks.pairsite.com/

There's a quick and simple fix for the cert/hostname mismatch and that is to have the DNS maintainer remove 209.197.123.153 from the list of A records for www.perlmonks.org and perlmonks.org. That will put extra strain on the other servers but that's almost certainly a better (temporary) situation than exists at present.

Who manages the DNS?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
