You cannot create your own SSL certificate and expect it to work on the internet in the browser.
There was an effort once called the DANE but it failed so we have Let's Encrypt instead, which works well-enough.
Blockchains are slowly transferring us away from all the nightmare of DNS and SSL all that crap, so don't expect a lot of new RFCs that will allow your self-issued (not self-signed) certificates to evolve.
Take a look at this, its one tech replacing IP routing and later the DNS networks. https://pkt.cash/
Learn to bridge your DNS so you can host your web on IPFS or on the blockchains. Its not better, its not cheaper, its not safer - its different and maybe it will finally kill Web2.
The World Wide Web was not "built", it evolved to where it is today.
Which should be a reminder to all of us creative people that we do not design and we do not build shit, everything must evolve before it is happily owned by those who had no part in any of it.
I love the idea of this Gemini not allowing anything but text. There were countless efforts over the decades at sustaining a project like this such as - EMAIL and IRC - maybe you heard of them, they have been around for over FORTY YEARS!
Give it time, Gemini will soon support a protocol that punches you in the face when your credit card is declined for hot live streaming porn.
People need to be educated about this shit called "environmental impact".
"Mother nature" is a psychopathic mass murderer and nothing has a chance to last too long. Everything rots and decays, and unless there is materials imported from outer space all of it is "recycled".
Not saying the thousands of substances on the SVHC list are harmless - no, they are toxic, but still, keep your pants on!
During the day works as a manufacturing component engineer, off-hours he is a GNU/Debian, Web2 infrastructure expert and still an undisputed 3D-printing mechanical inventor and all-around champ!I seldom confuse political activism with civic activity, so when I do post about politics it has to do in regards of civic life in the USA. Whats happening in any other country is not my business, so I will stay out of it.
