wait
can mastodon run on an ip if you have a cert for the ip
@bootsy I don't think browsers/HTTP clients allow IP-based certificates
@elomatreb they don't? that's...new to me
@bootsy I was wrong, the specs allow it and there are even CAs that offer the service, but you have to own the IP block
@bootsy @elomatreb greetings yes hi hello.
(can we even find a certificate provider that does IP address subjectAltNames?)
@elomatreb @bootsy requires their Organization SSL product ($349 + $199 per IP per year)
@elomatreb @bootsy [shows you the operational budget for wobscale] believe me, I already am
@iliana @bootsy Gotta commit to the joke
