@nik@toot.teckids.org ACME issuers are a huge usability improvement for TLS on the public internet but I’m not aware of any that will issue for private networks, unless those private networks correspond to a public internet domain or service.
Which is kind of my point. Any sketchy internet site can authenticate strongly enough for your browser to let it send notifications or use a gamepad, but a server ten feet away needs a fully managed network to do the same thing.

@nik@toot.teckids.org in some contexts you just plain can’t. If the Switch’s browser supports the Gamepad API, you could host a browser based game on the internet, but there’d be no way at all to host it on your LAN. The Switch doesn’t support user supplied trust roots without violating your warranty.
