[snarfed] "centralized" isn't really well defined wrt SSL certs, right?
#
[snarfed] the CA ecosystem is hierarchical, somewhat decentralized, somewhat centralized
#
[snarfed] but right now you have to use it to get a cert that's broadly accepted by users, browsers, etc
#
[snarfed] you can generate a self-signed cert, or even your own CA, but browsers will complain loudly before letting you accept those certs
#
capjamesg [snarfed] I interpreted centralized as buying one.

[snarfed] oh. paid vs free is very different from centralized vs decentralized
#
[snarfed] as blockchain people would attest 😁

cambridgeport90 [snarfed]: If I ever have my own CA, I would post my cert somewhere for folks to download, then againm I'm a nobody, though I do tend to trust people's own repositories, certificates, and other things more so than I do those from large organizations. For instance, Chocolatey, the package manager on Windows OS, they always drive people towards their maintained repository, and discourage package maintainers from hosting their own,
