Every few days (because I have a lot of websites) I receive another notification from LetsEncrypt that my site security certificates have successfully updated. I never take this for granted. These certificates are what makes it possible for people to browse my corner of the web securely. They're your guarantee that the site you're reading actually came from me, and isn't someone trying to pretend to be me to, say, collect data or solicit input from anyone. LetsEncrypt is a free service, which is important, because certification services are otherwise expensive (and part of the reason  people depend on third party sites like Blogger or Twitter rather than hosting their own). If you don't know about LetsEncrypt you should read this article and learn.
