Let's encrypt has done great work with certs for free. But they do still cost money. Insane for how long unencrypted traffic was the default. But i could not have done anything, if browsers had soft-enforced https earlier. I simply could not have paid that money.

- cship2 2y agoYeah in late 90s telnet to server was the default. So all those delicious cli were just flowing in the Ethernet traffic in plain text.
