This has always been the case - lua-users.org has never had TLS, and
John Belmonte has never advertised HTTPS links for it.  If you are
seeing this error, I assume somebody has typoed https out of habbit or
is running a browser extension that assumes everyone has HTTPS.

The problem with preventing the error is that it would require a
dedicated IP address just for lua-users.org: the web server is trying to
send you an error message saying "nope, no TLS for that hostname" but
obviously it does not have a certificate for that domain name with which
to encrypt it, so it uses the default certificate which is that of the
server's canonical name.
