I don't know if SSL saved the leak of the shitty useless information that our application and customers send over the network. I really don't care and I don't know.

What I know, oh yeah, is that every time there is some trouble with SSL my day is fucked up

What kind of trouble? Expired certifificate?

yeah well...usually is that.
I never get right the expiration date, services goes down, I never remember how to update them, I never remember that fucking password is "changeit", things like that.
Plus libraries that don't support this and that. well.
Learned. Wrote down in the wiki. Again.

Thank god TLS is easy for webservers nowadays

Can't you automate the renewal process perhaps? With like a systemd timer with a bash script?
