I so wish I could get XLT swag. It's impossible to find tall sizes in free nerd gear and that makes me sad.

`n`XL is for width. I need length, and without it, it's a belly shirt within two washes. My wife loves it though as she gets all my nerd swag.

Debatable whether it's worth posting this comment (but maybe it'll sway like-minded people)..

I went to the page and my 21st century brain ignored everything apart from immediately looking for swag photos and price tag...

Of course, I saw it and was blown away (I only spend £15/$25 on a t-shirt max) and in a split second ruled it out...

But a second went by and I actually realised saw donate button and then the big header about contributions to letsencrypt etc....

If I look back at the (I guess) 6 years of using them.. across maybe 60-80 personal domains across 8-10ish TLDs worth of certs... If letsencrypt hadn't been a thing, I'd have still been paying £50/domain or £150/wildcard root domain cert per year. Realistically, for my own personal projects, they've saved me close to $10K. Ignoring the fact that I don't need to renew tens/multiple-tens of certs a year and the hassle involved with that.

I definitely think I owe this to them and will definitely be buying something and hope others in the same boat do too :)

It's sort of wild to thing of a time now without being able to get a new project up-and-running by just sticking up a DNS entry and 3 seconds later having a valid SSL cert attached :)

Edit: Bought something :D

As per usual, fat asses like myself are left out. Was all set to buy one to support them. I know, I know… “lose some damn weight, fatty”. I will, I’m trying, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like to rock one of these in the meanwhile.

Put it in a plastic case and wear it like a medallion.

You prompted me to go look - interesting that there are different sizes available per item (even between the tshirts). Wonder if some are sold out and they're just not showing?
