SSL Certificate

Cloudflare stuff again

It’s not a secret that I prefer Gemini (but sometimes I need Grok for calculations, scientific questions, etc). I have Pro package (for free), and starting from today I have access to Gemini 3. I asked one of my "(low prio) problems that https://mydomain.com works but https://anything.mydomain.com not.

This is called wildcard certificate and it turned out that PositiveSSL from Sectigo (what I was paying $6.99 yearly) does not offer:

Furthermore, every year I had to replace this manually which is not straightforward:

I explained my situation to Gemini 3 and it told me why don’t I use Cloudflare, which provides *wildcard certificate AND for free AND I only have to renew in 2040 instead of annually?

The whole routine took a few clicks, furthermore, Gemini reminded me with the new Cloudflare certificate do not forget to enable Full strict encryption mode.

Pain in the ass together with $6.99 annual subscription has been cancelled.
