  .
  Running Diaspora requires at least a self-signed SSL certificate, which
  can be generated using (for instance) the package easy-rsa.
+ .
+ But a self-signed certificate can only be used for local testing, other
+ diaspora pods will not accept a self-signed certificate and this breaks
+ federation (your pod will not be able to comunicate with other pods).
+ .
+ startssl.com is the only certification authority that provide free SSL
+ certificates that works with diaspora (CAcert provided certificates will
+ not work).
