http://paulgraham.com actually fails if you try to access it via HTTPS. Maybe that's one way to get around the problem.

Is there really no way to date a cert for a century?

Nope, they top out at 398 days. I think there's even been some talk about limiting them to 90 days.

Is there an actual RFC for that? I was thinking it was just browsers (Google really) who enforced it by convention.

As I understand it, it is just browsers enforcing it, with Safari [1] doing so first, then Chromium [2] doing the same, both doing so in 2020.
