yeah i have been facing this irritating "TLS only" hooey since i started working with gRPC... it basically coerces you to use a domain name and a reverse proxy, and the endless doom of running out of IPv4 addresses and the endless non-implementation of IPv6 on ISPs means that we can't host our own stuff without using the services of someone who is renting an IP address

and yeah, not surprised that nostrudel handles this but none other do

we are being held hostage to the IANA and IETF and all the rest of them for the pricks who use tax blood money to maintain their control over this network, so every bit of effort that goes towards blunting their attack is a great thing

things like letsencrypt and the endless expansion of the TLD namespace are olive leaves intended to keep us from going totally black pill on them so we keep thinking we have a way out of this

we do, but we are up against very very nasty enemies

just felt like i needed to point that out so that people realise this is the real front line of WW3 and all the stuff in the media is just buying submission from a population that is wildly enraged but has been confused about who is doing it to them
