They did something. I can't see the pic now in firefox!
What I notice is the cert is for domain.com, not www.domain.com. So if you post pic as https://domain.com/pic.jpg, there won't be any issues. If you post as https://www.domain.com/pic.jpg, it will not work.
Btw, Lets Encrypt certs are good for 3 months. Yours expires on 1/26/2021. You are permitted to renew as early as 30 days before expiration. Most systems have scripts in place that handle renewal automatically. Else we'll be revisiting this topic next year
I see two ways of fixing this.
1) Issue another cert for www.domain.com
2) redirect www.domain.com traffic to domain.com (seems counterintuitive)
3) generate a wildcard *.domain.com cert with letsencrypt - automated renewal becomes more challenging and also lets secure as it involves generating TXT dns records via api (assuming your registrar supports api access).
If it were me, i'd do #1 and call it a day.
You get what you pay for
. I have my own domain too, and run a small static website for a music club on top. I don't charge 'em anything for the hosting, but they do pay for any updates.
edit: Seems firefox is caching some stuff. Disregard.. Cert appears correct. Quite FF,deleted cache folder, then restarted. Carry on

I bought that domain back in 1998. I think it was 1998. Once or twice a year, I still get flack from some irate or confused English Lit student, for obvious reasons.

I got mine around 2004. It was mainly for email. I was bouncing between dialup providers back in the day and email changes were annoying. While I have several gmail/hotmail/yahoo accounts, those are mostly for disposable purposes (junk mail). Having my own domain alleviated such issues. I pay ~$50/2 years with a company called hawkhost.com for the webhosting. They use cpanel for the admin stuff.
I'm no expert on the stuff but do like having full control. There is the occasional glitch/outage (handful of times a year at best). Good enough for my use.

Now that all is right with the world again (for a while, at least), here's a pic hosted on my personal site that goes BAM! with simple, front-end G37 beauty. 

Love this shot.

Well now you're too deep in the weeds for me.
I can see everything normally again in Chrome, all platforms. And my site is no longer being flagged as insecure.

I did some experimenting. When I connect via wired, your pic is blocked. When I connected wirelessly, your pic shows.
Difference - wired connection does https content inspection (for most sites). Wireless is more forgiving, ignoring the above - mainly use it for testing purposes. Some sites don't like to be MITM (man in the middle) inspected.
