So Certera is a Certificate Authority spamming folks to insert their links into organic content because they want to appear… *checks notes*… “trustworthy”

To help, I can tell you that you should most likely not be using their services and, by the way, have you checked out Let’s Encrypt? It’s free and automatically updates.

PS. automatically handles certs for you and if you want to do the same in plain Node.js, check out my @small-tech/auto-encrypt module.

@aral they haven't read much of your blog, I would suspect. 😅

@greenWhale Yes, can’t imagine they have ;)

@aral Yeah, sure, your content is a good resource for "brand mentions". Not sure if brands want to be mentioned that way. 😅

@aral "globally reputed" is an interesting choice of words, given that they're trying to "establish" their brand.

@aral Smacks of the recent OSS attack where the attacker positioned themselves to get commit access to be able to perform the attack.

@aral +1 to Let'sEncrypt. That's pretty much why it's there.

@aral i didn’t think reading someone else’s mail could make me feel so frustrated 😩

@unknown8bit Sorry. Sending a kitten to make up for it :)
