Certificate verification failed: The certificate is NOT trusted. The certificate chain uses expired certificate. Could not handshake: Error in the certificate verification. [IP: 135.181.182.36 443]

I get this error when doing sudo apt-get update:

khadas@Khadas:~$ sudo apt-get update
[sudo] password for khadas:

Reading package lists… Done
E: The repository ‘dl.khadas.com - Index of /repos/vim3/ focal Release’ does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can’t be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

This is on a fresh install via krescue
