Just two years later, in September 2018, we were issuing a million certificates every day. In 2020 we reached a billion total certificates issued and as of late 2025 we're frequently issuing ten million certificates per day. We're now on track to reach a billion active sites, probably sometime in the coming year. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://lwn.net/Articles/1049965/ --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet UK HUB @ hub.uk.erb.pw (1337:1/100) .
