I look forward to switching to some infrastructure I control a bit more myself. So yeah, maybe there's no problem here.

I would just switch to vps +
@letsencrypt. It's going to be at most a couple $ more than your current webhost (probably less), & certainly..1 reply 1 retweet 0 likes -

Absolutely
@letsencrypt seems like the way of the future. I'd love to have a port of it to#sortix and use it with my httpd port.2 replies 1 retweet 0 likes -

If you have Python building/running there are already a couple good minimal/auditable acme client implementations you can use.

Yeah I got a Python 3 largely working, I was planning on checking out a reasonably sized lets encrypt implementation and port if good.

If it's python, no porting is needed. AFAIK there are no "reasonably sized" C implementations. Too much protocol infrastructure mess.

Honestly simultaneously dealing with JSON *and* OpenSSL from C sounds so painful it should be in violation of the Geneva Convention

Think BearSSL and tiny fixed-schema JSON processing code.

yeah no even then. abstractions are good.

Depends. Overly-powerful abstractions are not good in a security-critical context. Minimal ones that do the job are better.

C never provides abstractions that "do the job". Only half of it.
