Beyond the big players like Digicert, I'm surprised smaller companies have survived LetsEncrypt for this long. They mentioned it in this post ad well, most are moving towards free providers. I wonder if we'll see more shutting down in the next few years. One thing I think they could compete on is validity period as LetsEncrypt keeps lowering theirs

In the real world, this will generate lots of manual work. At least, until folks replace their legacy hardware and manufacturers patch their shit."

Give me a break. This is your literal job description, something you should be able to do blind.

If any random FE developer can put a proxy in front of their servers so can you.

Kind of concerning they're not keeping TLS cert issuance even if only for the brand. Let's Encrypt is great, but it would be unfortunate if it ended up as a de facto monopoly.
