Thank you for these thoughtful IT topics explanation videos.

Really good video! I like your explanations: concise, clear and just simple enough for people to understand, yet not too over simplified nor confusing by which important information is lost.
In my opnion, you deserve more views/subs. :)
Subscribed! Imma go watch some more from your channel.
Edit: BTW, I also really like how you point to sources of additional information and give real world examples. It is like your videos are sort of "entry-points" where people can get to know about and understand a topic, and then if they're interested take a deeper look on their own. Great!

One feature that I really really want certbot should have is to allow adding a sub-domain to a current certificate, and in the this process it should auto renew all the other sub-domains the certificate holds.

I am sick of manually renewing all the other sub-domains whenever I need to add a new one. 😔

Want to know how certificates work, the whole cycle and chain also

[benjaminrosario]

Please if you can explain how they work it will be great. Thank you!

Most of the time certificate issues arise cause they been forgotten about! Internal windows pki environment, auto enrol is ok but when dealing with non domain devices then it can be problematic.
