   I've got SSL working via lets encrypt on namecheap but don't host using github pages, so can't comment on how you set that up.

   Hmm, I didn't know about adding a PPI. Anything you recommend? My dad takes naproxen daily for joint pains, and sometimes I take it daily when I'm running a lot ( > 30 miles / week ).

    I think he's looking for the word demagogue. Trump is a textbook demagogue: "a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument." http://www.o

    I wasn't saying it was only secure due to obscurity. I should asked more clearly - "So the idea is to enhance security through obscurity?" For mission critical secure systems, I can see a case being made that software should

    I feel like I read somewhere that hacker news automatically filters snowden/intercept/leak stuff because it was polluting the front page for some period of time. Kind of a bummer but you get what you pay for I suppose.
