DANE is gaining adoption primarily when it comes to email - browsers are still hesitant.

I do trust my own server not to misbehave, but I probably would not trust some random server on the internet.

Funny, I reported something similar on the rsync mailing list a couple of months ago: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg33452....
Good to see that it will be fixed. Still, rsync is not the right tool for the job if you do not trust the server.

There is a book about IBM's involvement in the Holocaust. Now, I have no illusion that Apple, Google, and co. would not do the same in the circumstances.

Correct, Buypass Go has a validity of six months. Unfortunately the free version does not support wildcards yet.

This is a good comment. There are I believe a couple more cases where HTTPS is difficult:
- You use a dynamic subsubdomain scheme. E.g. abc.xyz.example.org. A wildcard certificate for *.example.org only covers xyz.example.org, not abc.xyz.example.org. Requesting a certificate as the page is requested is possible, but will cause a lot of latency, and you will probably hit the Let's Encrypt rate limit;
- You embed resources that are only available over HTTP and cannot be proxied, either for technical or legal reasons;
- You request resources from a local IP address, e.g. a website hosted on GitLab Pages that shows you the data from your own DIY weather station which runs in your local network.
These cases are not that common, but that does not make them nonexistent. 99% of websites don't fall under one of these cases (there are probably some others I have not even considered), and should probably support HTTPS.

Do you have a source for that? Most of Western Europe has more than two parties in parliament, thus I find that hard to believe.
