It's really not that hard to setup a domain with letsencrypt. If you use dns verification it's even almost trivially easy to use it for internal hosts as well.

- superkuh 3y agoIt is till it isn't. When ACME2 is sunset and ACME3 comes along. The next time LE's root cert changes. The next time any part of the incredibly complexity hidden by and within acme clients breaks because of an update on your system. The time you host your abortion clinic site and get sued in Texas. Or your scientific journal article mirror gets attacked by big publishers, they won't go after you when they can just put pressure on LE to drop you and you become unvistable. Putting all your chips in one basket, even such a benevolent and great one as LE, is a bad idea. Even dot .org was almost lost to private equity and went nasty. LE as it becomes more important becomes a juicier target for all forms of pressure and less useful to human persons.
