Anyone using 6-day certs yet?
-
Since the beginning of this year, Let's Encrypt rolled out a new
shortlivedprofile for certificates that make them valid for only 160 hours. The intention, as they say, is to encourage automation and reduce the window of certificate compromise (because revocation is somewhat a flakey thing).Yet, I haven't seen a lot of news about it since then. Hence the question: is this shorter cert thingy something you considered and deployed for your homelab?
As for me I've set up
lego-acmewithprofile: "shortlived"on my rig. Lego runs on a bihourly cronjob, but only renews when a cert has >=3 days to expiry. It's been pretty much a set-and-forget experience, although some more monitoring would be nice. -

I figure the short lived certs are more important for people who provide services with a significant external user-base, or who process sensitive transactions.
I have my certbot set to check every 12 hours and renew at 60 days. Renewing every 3 days would be 20x more load on Let's Encrypt systems, and that feels like abuse of a free service for my use case.

Given modern crypto isnt it more likely that a mitm didn't crack the crypto but instead got somehow else in the middle and just can "ignore" certs renewals?

Other than temporarily making my Uptime Kuma SSL monitors completely freak out because my certificates "were too close to expiration", everything still works exactly the same.
