For any server on the internet, I don't see the point in using
self-signed certs any more, now that letsencrypt gives you real ones for
free.

It's a bit more of a pain for a server that's only accessed internally,
but still doable, if you can set up a dummy site for verification (there
are ways to do it without a web server, but I haven't needed that yet)
