@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.

@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 ISRG what an awful name. It sounds like a front for NSA. I still remember the initiative was started by FSF

@Some_Emo_Chick Yes, let's thank them. And after ten years, it is time to create alternatives in other countries.
