Timo Tijhof<p>This explains why an Android device from 2015 can't connect to modern sites secured by a Let's Encrypt cert.</p><p>But a much older 2010 MacBook or 2013 iPad, still can.</p><p>And that's with default built-ins, before we get to strategies like replacing IE/Safari with Firefox ESR (which can even enable Windows XP to browse the modern web), or replacing Google Android with PostmarketOS.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostmarketOS" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmark</span><span class="invisible">etOS</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/PostmarketOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PostmarketOS</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LetsEncrypt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LetsEncrypt</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LongTermSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LongTermSupport</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/PermaComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PermaComputing</span></a></p>
