As I mention in my top-level comment, it seems reasonable to say "I don't really care about surveillance risk of my low traffic blog", but it's a bit incongruous when it's combined with "I care a great deal that Big SSL might be rope-a-doping me and five years from now they'll charge me money for my SSL cert for my low traffic blog, and if you don't like it, it's your problem!"
We're talking about a free thing that on one hand takes five minutes to set up and on the other hand provides almost no benefit! It's hard to imagine lower stakes for anyone involved.
- prepend 5y agoMy time is very valuable as I need to spend it commenting on HN. 5 minutes every two months isn’t a great amount, but it’s great compared to the benefit to this blogger. I can imagine lower stakes with something that takes zero minutes.
- AstralStorm 5y agoMaintaining your own web server costs more than that. Zero minutes would use an external provider. Otherwise you're opening an unmaintained insecure webserver - a potential bounce for all sorts of illegal activity.
