In a groundbreaking move that reminds us why the internet is the pinnacle of human achievement, we now have TLDs like .agakhan, .ismaili, and .imamat. Because, obviously, the digital world was incomplete without these critical domains 🤡. Who knew the key to online success was a pinata of niche TLDs? 🎉

Ah yes, the internet's latest brainchild: a header field for sunsets. Because what we really needed was HTTP to remind us that the sun will set, and so will your hopes and dreams 🌅📉. Bravo, nerds, you've reached peak uselessness! 🤦‍♂️ #WhoEvenReadsRFCs

RFC 8594: The Sunset HTTP Header Field

This specification defines the Sunset HTTP response header field, which indicates that a URI is likely to become unresponsive at a specified point in the future. It also defines a sunset link relation type that allows linking to resources providing information about an upcoming resource or service sunset.

🎉🎈 Behold the groundbreaking achievement of the century: an IP address certificate! 🌐💥 Because what the internet truly needed was more digital paperwork to complicate things. 🎭🖨️

We've Issued Our First IP Address Certificate

Since Let’s Encrypt started issuing certificates in 2015, people have repeatedly requested the ability to get certificates for IP addresses, an option that only a few certificate authorities have offered. Until now, they’ve had to look elsewhere, because we haven’t provided that feature. Today, we’ve issued our first certificate for an IP address, as we announced we would in January. As with other new certificate features on our engineering roadmap, we’ll now start gradually rolling out this option to more and more of our subscribers.
