I was about to comment on the same... my only question to the OP (and other's who don't enforce HTTPS) is "why?!"


Why does a personal blog page need HTTPS? It's an output page, I read the contents and leave, I'm never submitting any of my information across the wire.

Someone along the way might modify the page? Unless they're using HSTS, it won't matter.

I'm all for encryption, but I'm also all for using tools when necessary, and not complicating things when not.



It's an answer, but I still find it entirely unconvincing for a static personal blog. Better? Sure. Necessary? Damning if it's absent? No.


You'd be surprised how many top websites (e.g. Amazon, eBay) don't even implement HSTS, let alone HSTS Preload. Here's some naming-and-shaming:

HSTS is a commitment to future downtime for your site, and as such, is not recommended if you care about uptime for your site (like, say, Amazon.com might).


During mid last year my employer decided that everyone should get back in the office at least 3 days a week. I have resigned (many others too) and took a remote job for a -20% paycut. I do not even care for the paycut as I’m so much more happier with WFH: no commute, no noisy open space, no aweful coffee machine, etc.

I wouldn’t mind going to the office once / week for workshops or team building, if the commute would be like 10-15 minutes. But this is almost impossible to have.

IMO - work that can be done from home should be done from home, while workshops (or the like) are better in person.


Sounds interesting to me, however both first and last link are pointing to a 502 Bad Gateway. Is it just me?


Did it say 'cloudflare' under the 502 page? Because they appear to be having some connectivity issues today on and off.


Oh yes, it works now. There was a cloudflare outage, but I wasn't aware of it. Thank you.


If you type www.google.com it finds it not dangerous... Strange.
