@codinghorror I can only wonder if Let's Encrypt will work its way into the "consumer" level communications field to encourage encrypted e2e interpersonal communication for all.

thank you @codinghorror you rock! 👍

@codinghorror Kudos! Thats very kind of you to do.

@codinghorror that's amazing and such an important service

@codinghorror very cool! Your donations remind me of the pineapple fund in a great way https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineapple_Fund

@codinghorror don't jinx it 😮

@codinghorror @trending_bot Related, longer-term thought, in case it interests you: getting @letsencrypt to work with @opennic would put us on a path to set domain names free from the commercial system (after which we could try to get the EU to force browsers to support OpenNIC natively).

@codinghorror

i don't agree that let's encrypt is good, at least not the way google and the eff promote it and treat https as a requirement as if they were the platform vendor of the web. the great thing about the web is that there is no platform vendor.

they premise their pitch on the idea that https is always good, but for sites that predate the broad adoption of https, it's not only unlikely someone is around to adapt the site, but it might be such a big job that it's impossible.

@codinghorror good on ya, Jeff. 😎
