Thanking the @letsencrypt folks for the excellent work they do, and especially for their upcoming support for security certificates for IP addresses which is nothing short of revolutionary for the future of the (Small) Web.

Interesting. No wonder that they will stop the email warnings for certs close to expiry.

Probably will be useless if you have to deal with CGNAT.

@SpaceLifeForm @letsencrypt I believe that’s more to do with the short-lived certs (IP address certs will be short-lived) and getting people off of manual renewal processes altogether.

Exactly. I can not imagine many are still doing the manual process any longer.

Imagine if certs only lasted a day.

Actually, don't imagine it. It is a horrible idea even if automated.
