I have my own CA in trusted store for LAN devices.

I like the convenience of saved password to login (which browsers block now on http or if untrusted https).

I think I'd tend to agree wondering if it is worth it.   
I get errors if working on the website with the pages held on my PC.   There's also the warning padlock if you visit your modem/router.  However the effort involved in sorting it if it is just you on your LAN can be a pita. Youre not trying to prove to customers that youre keeping any financial transactions or customer data secure and establishing a secure encrypted connection between your webserver and their browser.

Yes, you do need a registered domain as you need to set a CNAME & set up the DNS server also iirc the max time for letsencrypt certs are 3month, so you'd need to remember to redo every 3mth. Setting up SSL may be a piece of cake for some, but I was more than happy to let my webhosts sort it all for the main site.

Identical size, fitted on the same backplate, still working fine.

I believe they're exactly the same size.

I mean sure if you have malware on the network it can snoop your login password without SSL.  But then if you have malware on your network it could also be a keylogger on the PC or just brute-force the login.  So SSL seems kinda redundant at that point.

I continue to use http to avoid this hassle, also as I have custom cgi scripts my server probes on pfSense to monitor router activity.

I just don't see how SSL improves security in any way on a private home network.

thanks, thats helpful, and give me pause for thought
