Wow, that's very interesting. I hadn't heard of it before.
As a minor technical note:
If the site is truly hosted by GitHub Pages as it proclaims, how does it have HTTPS support on a custom domain?
- SanderMak 9y agoI've done that by putting Cloudflare in front, as discussed here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/secure-and-fast-github-pages-with-cloudflare/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/secure-and-fast-github-pages-wit...
- tgragnato 9y agoThe domain resolves to IPs in AWS. If they’re using Pages, there’s a caching layer with TLS.
- OisinMoran 9y agoThere are workarounds for this, but as I understand it GitHub won't validate an SSL cert for a custom domain. I found this tutorial [1] very helpful when setting up my own site [2] (which you can see is HTTPS and served by GitHub Pages [3]).

- stfwn 9y agoAlso: > Using flexible SSL, all communications between CloudFlare servers and GitHub ones are not encrypted. Not really secured, even if your domain would be served in HTTPs.
