Let’s Encrypt has announced it will no longer notify users about imminent certificate expirations via email due to high costs, privacy concerns, and unnecessary complexities.
There will probably be a lot more websites with expired certificates soon.
There are extensive options for automating renewal. I doubt that more than a small fraction using lets encrypt aren’t already using them.
Sometimes they fail to update. I would imagine that there are quite a few people who don’t bother setting up monitoring software to let them know if the certificate fails to update.
That’s why monitoring and digital calendars exist.
Time to go out and buy a “The Far Side” desk calendar, and mark the correct page, I guess.
I wonder how many emails they were sending.
I mean they were probably sending me 30 a year
