    Thanks for sharing. Seems pretty interesting, it is nice to have a solid free alternative.

    I think Let's Encrypt could be hugely important. For a lot of smaller hobby sites, for example, an SSL cert is a rather expensive commitment. It puts SSL within reach of everyone.

    Another interesting thing is that they're setting the expire time on issued certificates to be three months or so. They're hoping as a result that people will develop tools to automate the renewing of certificates. Shorter times helps improve internet security overall:

    I haven't tried it myself, but I intend to look at it in the future.

    What's a merket, and why is there a bird on it?
