I sense the best way to honor him is to continue to push and strive for those things he stood for.

The open access movement has much to thank Aaron for and has come a long way since his early activism for example.

I am reading through these, many powerful expressions about someone well loved and missed.

We had the gift of him and it would be a shame to let it fade too early.

His mom is active on Twitter and posts a tribute to him every year: https://twitter.com/beadmomsw/status/1480974767347929098?s=2...
protecting and replicating sci-hub is probably one of the better ways to remember him.
I can't be the only one who's nonplussed by this sites lack of certificate?

Not a lack of a publicly trusted certificate...but a lack of any certificate whatsoever.

Am I missing something about his legacy, perhaps not trusting CA industry?

Bump.
