    You were right? Doesn't sound like it. FreeBSD hasn't adopted any of your ideas. This suggests you could be wrong.

    I don't run a webserver. But I do run an email server and need public certs so that my email server can do MTA-to-MTA TLS encrypted sessions. For me, lego is the ACME client to use since it has a built-in webserver for the ACME server to...

    This silly thread should disappear. FreeBSD will outlive you and I so just learn how to use it properly and get on with life. Slightly dispute that statement but really its not the point. So far you have not been able to provide a meaningful...

    That was a clear question. I simply suspect you are a little bit inexperienced and can't project the needs of others over their own use-cases. That's fine, you aren't alone, the internet is filled with this.

    I will repeat the question. What way do you feel the project should go if people have a different view of what 'forward' represents? Your definition of 'forward'? You have to consider that is equally unlikely as anyone elses. You feel a risky...

    kpedersen replied to the thread For "knowledgeable people".
    Your view of what 'forward' is may differ to another person's view of 'forward'. What do you say to that? What direction would the project go in that case? A 'junior' FreeBSD member could well be someone who has dealt with UNIX/Linux for decades...

    kpedersen replied to the thread For "knowledgeable people".
    Could it actually be that you simply disagreed with the knowledgable people (and still do)? A random 3rd party port doesn't seem to suggest a shift in people's viewpoints here. I doubt anyone else even knows that port exists because they don't...

    Tolerant? I don't think any a-technical audience cares about whatever people do with their system components if it has no substantial explanation. I might do it if a secure boot vulnerability appears.

    We quit using RSA decades ago. I don't know anyone who still uses it. It's been broken and services will flag it. I'd have to look up which one I use now.

    Older needs to be bigger and are slower to process for getting the same security as the newer. The difference are the algorithms. In spite of it, RSA is still used, perhaps most used.
