Uh-oh, something's up with LE:
https://letsencrypt.status.io/
This is a good thing, that they're suspending issuance to ensure fraudulent certs aren't issued if they may have had a breach.
But we wouldn't have to deal with any of this backwards certificate authority bs if browsers would just honor DANE. 🤬

@dalias@hachyderm.io I wonder if it's related to the us-east-1 outages currently going on

@dalias@hachyderm.io I have my own conspiracies as to why browsers don’t support DANE. But I’ll keep them for myself.

@dalias@hachyderm.io i had never heard of DANE before but ... that just sounds like it would remove certificate authorities from existence which is good ?
