Let's Encrypt has issued its first million certificates
>  It is clear that the cost and bureaucracy of obtaining certificates was forcing many websites to continue with the insecure HTTP protocolI never realized this so clearly, but it's true. The biggest hindrance to security until LE was that certs were expensive and hard to install. I don't think it was so much the former as the latter. I'd gladly pay 10% more for my cert if it meant my server could renew automatically without me touching it at all.Then again, for small things, like my home computer that I want to access some stuff on but don't want to pay $10 for, self-signed was fine, so I guess the price was a problem, to a degree.
