not a tls experts, but I think my issues are caused by the ed25519 key.
I recall reading something that libressl don't support those keys yet
If so, this is certainly a serious problem with LibreSSL. RFC 8410,
which added these keys in certificates, is already 2.5 years old.
According to Lupa
gemini://gemini.bortzmeyer.org/software/lupa/stats.gmi, 8 capsules
use this type of key. Can you connect to them:

There are a bunch of "no shared cipher" in the log, so I guess we'll have to switch to ECDSA then. I thought ED25519 would be more widespread in capsules by now, that's what I get for forgetting valuable tools such as Lupa exists.

LibreSSL should have support for ED25519 since this commit:
