This one has two super easy ones that don't cross into wierd areas like SEO
- Herd Immunity: If only important data is encrypted we will know who to beat on with a wrench to get it. If everything is encrypted rubber hose cryptography becomes a bit harder - Data integrity: Every persons or companies network you transverse with un-encrypted data increases the chances that they data can be modified in transit. It is possible one day to see a future where Comcast decides to inject or replace ads or redirects on un-encrypted sites to help bolster their profit margins. Without using some sort of transit layer encryption or security it is hard to be sure that the site didn't get modified in transit. These are both things that have current real world exploits that are happening right now, and are IMO the real reason why everything should at least have an https option even if it isnt redirected to by default. --- Jason Barbier | E: [email protected] On Wed, Jan 2, 2019, at 9:09 AM, James Mason wrote: > Hi John, > > Yes, we can implement HTTPS on the LFNW blog, but it is a low priority. > > Devil's advocate: what benefits are you expecting from having an HTTPS > connection to a completely static, public web site? > > - James Mason > > ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ > On Friday, December 28, 2018 3:03 PM, John Sullivan <[email protected]> wrote: > > > James Mason [email protected] writes: > > > > > And without further ado... the URL is > > > http://blog.linuxfestnorthwest.org > > > ... or http://blog.lfnw.org for short.
