Public bug reported:

This is a recurrence of LP: #2164983, which was fixed on 2026-09-02.

appstream.ubuntu.com (185.125.188.36) is again serving an expired TLS
certificate, so GNOME Software (50.0, resolute) cannot load any deb-app
screenshots. Every download from https://appstream.ubuntu.com/media/...
fails with "Unacceptable TLS certificate".

Served certificate:
  subject:   CN=appstream.ubuntu.com
  issuer:    C=US, O=Let's Encrypt, CN=YR2
  notBefore: Jul 17 11:13:33 2026 GMT
  notAfter:  Oct 15 11:13:32 2026 GMT

To reproduce:
  echo | openssl s_client -connect appstream.ubuntu.com:443 \
    -servername appstream.ubuntu.com 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -dates
  curl -I https://appstream.ubuntu.com/   # -> "certificate has expired"

Root cause (suspected): the certificate deployed for the fix of
LP: #2164983 was issued on Jul 17 and was never renewed. Let's Encrypt
certificates last 90 days, so automatic renewal may not be set up on this
host. If so, this will likely happen again every ~90 days.

Example log line (journalctl --user):
  gnome-software[5140]: Failed to download screenshot
  'https://appstream.ubuntu.com/media/resolute/dev/bragefuglseth/Fretboard/
  .../[email protected]': Unacceptable TLS certificate

Thanks to @nteodosio and @finnrg for the quick fix last time.
