[gopher] Should we be mirroring Gopher sites via FTP?

[Mr. Leveck]

I have looked at Let's Encrypt in the past. There is quite a bit of smack talk floating around vis-a-vis this service particularly because it is free. Every single free cert I have seen in the last 20 years eventually shut down due to misuse by idiots. I guess I'll grab one while it is still around...

Is renewing the LE cert scriptable or is this just something that will need a calendar entry and a reminder?
