How do you enjoy being dependent on a 3rd party (even a well intentioned one) for being on the internet?

Let's Encrypt... Cloudflare... useful services right? Or just another barrier to entry because you need to set up and maintain them?

You are always dependent on a 3rd party to some extent: DNS registration, upstream ISP(s), cloud / hosting providers, etc.

Does it? I need to get a cert from somewhere, whether that's Lets Encrypt for free, or some other company that charges $300/year for effectively the same thing.
