Even if you refuse to buy a domain you could always run your own certificate chain

That sounds interesting. But then you have to convince your peers to install your certificate root, right?

No, you would only use this internally. Overall doing this is a bad idea (if the root gets stolen encryption is useless) but is technically possible if you are looking for a learning exercise. It would be about the same amount of work as Let’s encrypt since you would probably still want to run ACME with fairly short certificate lifetimes.
