i just can't that we're making those people rich yknow
sure we can complain about it but letsencrypt at least does good
a few businesses that will also profit from it make some donations and everyone gets a free and secure signature
LE made good technical choices and doesn't ask for a huge symbolic fee that will make a single asshole a millionnaire
and don't get me started on startcom it was fucking awful, paid revocations on free certs and extremely bad practices on many occasions
@CobaltVelvet oh man, don't even get me started on StartCom. After going through the hassle of getting one of their free certs I nearly scrapped it and got a premium one
asking for money to revoke a cert is one of the most dishonest thing a CA can do. that's a fee precisely designed to kick you while you're down
