So many wise words, Marian flu or not.

Still, I've used self-signed certs too over the years and only
occasionally tried out other options .... for me, right now, letsencrypt
is better due to how the main browsers are setting up users to distrust
anything that doesn't come from a CA (however untrustworthy CAs might be).

GPG signed certs, not likely; there are plenty of other considerations,
but GPG signing /may/ be part of a greater solution.

How about having fingerprints saved in DNS records, self-signed or
"official" CA signed certs ?

I wish trust in computers (not just CAs) wasn't so broken.  :(

Cheers
