Knowledge, Learning, Community

For most people Let's Encrypt sits quietly behind websites, never seen or felt. For people like me who host their own websites it's an essential part of the infrastructure, allowing us to create the certificates we need for secure access for free, instead of paying hundreds of dollars to commercial providers, like we used to do. "A particularly big moment," writes Josh Aas, "was when Let's Encrypt surpassed 300,000,000 websites served." The post also mentions Divvi Up, "a new service that will bring privacy respecting metrics to millions of people." Via Boris Mann.
