What exactly don't you like about Let's Encrypt? Besides Let's Encrypt, your other option is paying for a cert from GoDaddy or something. My two cents: don't give business to Comodo, given their horrible track record of sleaziness (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comodo_Group#Controversies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comodo_Group#Controversies).
- tarancato 10y agoI don't like the EFF, but I guess I will have to use Let's Encrypt if there's no other option.
- rudolf0 10y agoIf I might ask, why don't you like them?
- tarancato 10y agoThey are a political organisation and their ideas conflict with mine. I don't keep a strong boycott on them, but I don't want to support their products, that's all.
- ceejayoz 10y agoI'd be very interested to know which of the EFF's political positions you object to, but it appears pretty clear you're avoiding answering that question...
- tarancato 10y agoI don't think net neutrality is a good idea. I also have far-right ideas, while they have repeatedly expressed themselves to be liberal. I'm not the kind of person who believes in boycotting (especially in this case, where I'd be all alone it seems :-) but if I could avoid them, I would. If not, no biggie.
- ceejayoz 10y agoFair enough. It's not often I see anti-EFF folks, so I appreciate the elaboration.
- tbrownaw 10y agoI don't see how that's relevant, unless the goal is to invalidate his(?) dislike of them by claiming the political views that dislike is based on are wrong and stupid.
- ceejayoz 10y agoThe goal was to find out more. Having never encountered an anti-EFF person on here (or anywhere, that I can recall) I was interested in the answer.
- vertex-four 10y agoAs much as I don't agree with you... Let's Encrypt isn't actually an EFF project, or even majority EFF funded. One developer is provided by the EFF, one of the board members is from the EFF, one member of the technical advisory board is from the EFF, and there is a sponsorship from the EFF. The organisation has various other employees, board members, and sources of funding. Even in the genesis of it, it involved three non-EFF people and one EFF person. The suggested client, CertBot, is an EFF project, but there's a wide variety of alternatives - https://letsencrypt.org/docs/client-options/ https://letsencrypt.org/docs/client-options/
- compuguy 10y agoThere is globalsign and AlphaSSL....
