Another alternative to Let's Encrypt

TL;DR the take is argumented and ends with:

So don't get too worked up about an individual using LLMs, that's not what's undermining the very foundations of FOSS. It's a drivel-spewing idiot who's happily planning to sink another 100 billion $ on a probabilistic text generator. We're talking about people using money that could have solved several world-spanning problems - even profitted from doing so! - and still didn't. That's who we're talking about.

The harder a piece of code is to parse, the more you will tend to rely on LLM-based analysis and generation to maintain and build from it. Illegibility to humans is vendor lock-in. That's the business model.

The enclosure of the FOSS commons may seem like a programmer-specific problem, but it really affects everyone. Privacy-preserving apps like Signal, for example, serve a purpose precisely because they're open and can be audited. Take away that ability to verify the developer's claims by parsing the code, and all guarantees are lost. The more that AI vendors succeed in locking in the FOSS commons, the less transparency we'll have into what our software actually does.

It is 0% coincidence that these technologies are being pushed by some of the least transparent companies on the planet.

Let's Encrypt bans its usage to countries sanctioned by the USA to conform to the U.S. law. That's added page 3.

You are not a person or entity that is:
(a) located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in any country or territory that is the target of comprehensive U.S. sanctions;
(b) a prohibited or restricted party under U.S. or other applicable sanctions and export control laws and regulations; or
(c) owned or controlled by or acting on behalf of anyone described in (a) or (b). You agree to use Let’s Encrypt Certificates and any services provided by or on behalf of ISRG in compliance with applicable U.S. export control and sanctions laws and regulations.

It's ironic and someone pointed it out: "Let's Encrypt’s mission is to create a more secure and privacy-respecting web, except for people residing in countries with the most need for a more secure and privacy-respecting web. Sure, that's great."
