Some positive news for #Holos: the relay now automatically generates SSL certificates for custom domains verified via CNAME, with a job running every 5 minutes to issue and renew them.
This means true ownership of your Fediverse identity: your domain, your name, fully working through ActivityPub. No other server needed, just your phone.
