 Coffee | _hc: I have now 😁 | 09:16:40 |
 Mathijs | In reply to @nico:dorfbrunnen.eu
<@mathijs:matrix.vgorcum.com> would a letsencrypt cert be desirable?
Nico: any thoughts ^
Mathijs: Yes, Let's Encrypt is fine. That's also what the forum uses. I noticed the forum uses letsencrypt in the mean time. Thanks for following up | 09:42:43 |
 _hc | at this point, letsencrypt is better than commercial CAs | 09:45:59 |
| Mathijs | I agree | 09:46:06 |
| _hc | for anything | 09:46:10 |
| _hc | that is supported by letsencrypt. You still have to pay a CA for "Extended Validation", which makes sense | 09:46:33 |
| _hc | that requires people to review documents | 09:46:41 |
| _hc | so its not automatable | 09:46:45 |
| Mathijs | yeah, though the usefulness of EV certs is debatable at best | 09:46:59 |
| _hc | EV is required for use cases like https://www.facebookcorewwwi.onion/ | 09:47:48 |
| _hc | or https://www.nytimes3xbfgragh.onion/ | 09:48:07 |
 @bubuiic:matrix.org | What's the use case here? | 09:48:45 |
| @bubuiic:matrix.org | (No orbot currently installed) | 09:49:50 |
| _hc | so you know you're going to the right onion | 09:50:11 |
| Mathijs | I'm guessing the usecase is that you want to be sure you're actually talking to facebook | 09:50:12 |
| Mathijs | and not someone with a nice onion address pretending to be facebook | 09:50:28 |
| _hc | I've generated thousands of .onion address that start with fdroid | 09:50:31 |
| Mathijs | also: the nytimes onion address you linked gives an https error | 09:50:58 |
| @bubuiic:matrix.org | I see. | 09:51:17 |
| Mathijs | Yeah, that's the only useful usecase for EV certs I've seen | 09:52:02 |
| Mathijs | but it also requires the user to understand how EV cerst work in order for it to be useful | 09:52:33 |
| Mathijs | which for most user is... a stretch | 09:52:43 |

| Mathijs | _hc: thanks for offering to help to install certbot, I've got it, though :) | 10:23:12 |
| _hc | excellent | 10:28:52 |
