the corner office : tech blog

The blog's moved over to colinpretorius.org. I wrote about it on the main blog, but one thing I didn't mention was that the blog's also served via https.

I was initially unhappy about the idea of switching to https. It went against the idea of people flinging up web pages 20 years ago and them still being served up without much cost or intervention ever since.

I changed my mind when reading the EFF's Encrypting the Web. It'd be nice if we could just serve up http and be done with it, but content injection from ISPs and the like, are enough reason to say farewell to the old world.

So, I've switched to https using Let's Encrypt and hoping nothing breaks. And also hoping the renewal cron job kicks in later this year...
