Let's Encrypt's short expiration times make them too cumbersome to use.
- SquareWheel 9y agoThe point is to automate. If you're manually renewing them every thee months, then you're very much doing it wrong and it should be cumbersome.
- LunaSea 9y agoBut most people don't want or know how to automate. HTTPS is supposed to be used on very site but not every site is setup by a developer. That's a basic flaw that will make it problematic to have these kinds of HTTPS-only policies.
- SquareWheel 9y agoHaving done both, it's far easier to set up one of Let's Encrypts automatic tools than it is to install a certificate manually. End users won't be configuring their own servers anyway. At best they'll get a cPanel (which using AutoSSL, can then support Let's Encrypt).
- extra88 9y agoIf one can't handle setting up Let's Encrypt, they should host their content on a platform where others take care of things like HTTPS for them.
