desktop app now doesn't honour self-signed certs imported into Windows?

As of 0.17.x apparently

Can confirm for Linux & Windows. 0.17 is correct (if in doubt)

Do we want the electron app to support self-signed certs?

I guess the answer to that is "probably". For anyone running their own HS, federation will soon require not self-signed certs, so letsencrypt wrangling is going to be a basic required skill.

However, for people wanting to start developing either synapse or riot against a local synapse install, the ability to run with self-signed certs is one fewer hurdle to hurdle.

What about intranet usage, e.g. for company-intern messaging? Is that even possible?
