@Some_Emo_Chick I keenly remember looking at my bills for SSL certs and being so excited for this launch.

Then doing a bad job of automation and failing to renew every 3 months.

@amd @Some_Emo_Chick Yeah, I forgot to do it a couple times. Then I set up the option in gitlab pages and have pretty much forgotten it exists. It's wonderful.

Holy time collapse, Batman. Feels like way longer.

@Some_Emo_Chick I'm not sure, but will I use certificates from a so called phishing CA? .... a difficult question ...

@Some_Emo_Chick They were not the first (anyone remember startssl.com?) but they sure did a great job with the automation.
The web is now safer because of @letsencrypt

@Some_Emo_Chick I do congratulate @letsencrypt even tho @cacert was way earlier there and only got #cickblocked by #GAFAMs like #Aoole & #Microsoft who refused to integrate it and @mozilla who didn't integrate it either.

- The reasons why are the most abdurd given compromized CAs as well as free, non-#KYC-Certs were accepted without warning...

Meanwhile #LetsEncrypt can be setup fully-automatic.
