So I was looking at alternatives | not because let's encrypt failed | just curiosity | cat /dev/brain | grep "what else" | sort -u
Zerossl has a free tier | 90 days | same dance | bypass has 180 days | which is nice | fewer cron jobs | but | and this is the pipe speaking | the automation ecosystem still expects acme | everything plugs into certbot | your nginx | your haproxy | your whatever
I looked at buy pass too | their acme endpoint exists | which feels like cheating | using acme to not use let's encrypt | grep irony /dev/null
