Happy birthday to Let’s Encrypt !
Huge thanks to everyone involved in making HTTPS available to everyone for free !
I can’t imagine living without it

It’s mind-bogglingly convenient, especially compared to the before times. Consider donating to them if you can.

What was it like in the before times?

I remember taking my first selfhosting/Linux steps a year or so after the launch of Let’s Encrypt with a Pi 3. At the time, most tutorials didn’t set up https at all, and if they did, they were self signed certificates (resulting in browser warnings).
Self-signed certificates are annoying and creating them was a series of copy pasting long, weird commands, usually using long exspiration dates (manual renewing sucks).
Not long after, guides started recommending certbot. Nowadays reverse proxys like caddy set up TLS automatically.
At least that’s how I remember it, given my complete lack of knowledge about Linux/networking at the time.

You had to request certificates manually from providers like a savage.

We walked uphill both ways.
