💬 Subreply sublevel.net will expire on 2020-04-09. Money well spent on domain renewal. Thanks for your donations, was the last one to contribute.
Mark Dain Glad to hear we're good for a few years! Does that date include server hosting?
🏒 Lucian Marin It needs a 3 year SSL certificate first. I will acquire one on April 9 since the current one is valid until April 12. But yes, server hosting will be matched.

Mark Dain Have you thought about using Let's Encrypt? Then you can have free SSL (and it's also automatically renewed for you by a cron job)
🏒 Lucian Marin letsencrypt requires all the python2.7 packages. I think it's cheaper to pay $26 for a 3 years certificate than using letsencrypt.
Mark Dain I'm not sure how $26 is less than $0 ... Let's Encrypt is literally infinitely cheaper. Is there any way of making python2.7 work? Or maybe running certbot in Docker?
🏒 Lucian Marin All the trouble mantaining letsencrypt seems to cost more. It looks simple, but is it? I mean I could work on something else than configuring certificates.
Mark Dain Fair enough, time is money as well (I often forget this)
👽 Paul Webb I love LE but it's also cool to see the name of your company in the green padlock area. I have it for one of my sites, but I'm most likely going to let that expire and use LE (I'm not making enough money to justify keeping it).
Mark Dain If you're using CertSimple, I can completely understand; they're a very cheap (by EV SSL standards) provider. If not, perhaps there's some money to be saved there? I generally only use Let's Encrypt or CertSimple, depending on what I'm trying to get a certificate for.
👽 Paul Webb The ONLY reason why I have an EV SSL cert is because of CertSimple, they are awesome. When I need another one in the future, I'm definitely going with them. Comodo is a friggin' nightmare.
