Please refrain from starting and continuing "comment chains". It's not funny and doesn't add to the conversation.
I disagree. I think it's important to show that multiple people decided to donate because of this single comment. It's prompted me to donate to Let's Encrypt.

> EV certs can't be automated No entirely, but mostly: seeing as this is my job, I should have some idea. Currently writing a post about how we've used some psych techniques to automate the non-automatable parts which I'll post on HN. > (and they're a dumb idea anyway) EV matches identity to public keys. Nothing more, nothing less. If you need EV, we ( https://certsimple.com ) specialise in making those background ch…
Anecdotally: I fully recommend CertSimple. We used them for an EV cert we needed and not only was it simple to set up the request, but the processing was quick, too!
Talk about an abuse of the trademark system.
Hm? This seems to be the perfect use of this "intellectual property"[1]. Comodo is trying to deceive people, Let's Encrypt is trying to prevent it by enforcing their trademarks. This is how it's supposed to work. -- [1] I don't like the term "intellectual property" mostly because people forget or misunderstand what it refers to and how the many various things called "intellectual property" work individually and diffe…

Please refrain from unnecessary humor-policing. It's not helpful and only detracts from the sense of community.
This isn't to say that humor should be verboten, or pun threads strictly banned - but they're definitely not what HN has been about historically, and arguably should not be encouraged if we want HN to continue serving whatever role it serves. There are more places like /r/jokes than HN on the net, after all.

I always use acme-tiny [0] to set up LE certs. You can follow their README to set up everything, including automatic reneweal cronjob in a couple minutes. 0: https://github.com/diafygi/acme-tiny#readme
That's not always an option. For example, when I was looking into it for google app engine, I came across these directions: http://blog.seafuj.com/lets-encrypt-on-google-app-engine and http://igorartamonov.com/2015/12/lets-encrypt-ssl-google-app... That's not so bad if you have to do it once a year or better yet once every two years, but I'm not doing that every 3 months. There's an issue open to allow for the proces…
I was just looking at doing this last night for two sites and came to the conclusion that it was too painful.
Far too many products still require manual intervention which is a huge bummer. Synology, VMware, ddwrt etc.
OTOH, lego with Cloudflare DNS challenge proved to be very easy to use with a single command.

It's not humor-policing to point out that HN has a different culture and comments serve a different purpose here. I like pun threads - but I go to /r/jokes when I want them. Here, I expect a certain sort of signal - insight from experienced and intelligent people working hard on interesting technical problems. This isn't to say that humor should be verboten, or pun threads strictly banned - but they're definitely not…
Your motivation motivated me to donate

that's what the up-vote button is for
Unfortunately meta discussions are frowned upon too, so I shouldn't have made this comment either.
