If you are having issues connecting to the Sidekiq gem server today, it's because your CA certificates are woefully out of date. On Ubuntu:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install ca-certificates
The Sidekiq gem server had SSL connectivity issues due to an intermediate CA cert expiring. This has been fixed.
