Yes, I need to trust some things. But I can limit the amount of trust I need to have by limiting the number of things to run. I can add a reminder to my calendar to say "hey renew your certs", or better yet I can add a check to my existing monitoring service to look at expiration dates. Why run a whole new persistent service just for this?
- schoen 12y agoThere won't be any sort of requirement to allow our tools to run automatically. But the existing track record of expiring certs suggest that some people are having trouble remembering to do the renewals manually, so it may be useful to have a tool that does it automatically for people who want that.
- organsnyder 12y agoThe vast majority of sites fall into the category of "encryption would be nice, but not worth the time." All of my hobby sites (various forums, a site for my choir, etc.) fall into that category. Automagic TLS done right is an improvement from no TLS, IMHO, even if it comes with its own new set of potential attack vectors.
