And you probably know much better than the second most important guy on linux what security means on the Internet: securing some javascript script on a random blog.
- axiomofquality 9y agoHTTPS should be expected by now - ISPs keep messing with my unencrypted traffic.
- lisper 9y agoThen you should get yourself a different ISP or a VPN.
- mjal 9y agoSome places have no other choices for ISPs. I don't disagree that a VPN would help but that feels like it's simply dismissing that there's a problem.
- AaronFriel 9y agoThis is an extremely easy thing to say for many people around the world. But for a large number of people - Americans, folks in countries with monopolies or state manipulation of internet traffic - it is not. Not everyone has a different ISP to choose from. VPNs are a risky proposition and can significantly reduce bandwidth and increase latency.

- proginthebox 9y agoIt's not about that guy's blog. This causes desensitization to non-HTTPS traffic and when people then actually visit non-HTTPS malicious blog, they get infected. If all "trusted" websites were HTTPS, then whenever there was untrusted access, people will notice it and raise alarm.
- alphaalpha101 9y agoGiven that Javascript is a known attack vector for the very bugs he's talking about, yes apparently he does know better.
