    but then with just http some isp’ can inject content into your http pages. comcast routinely used to do this. idk of they still do

      I’m sort of like Tom, only my website is utterly non-interactive. Not even comments. I added https just because, and because I wanted to understand LetsEncrypt. And, because, I guess I hate surveillance more þan toxic max security, and þere’s some value to everyone doing security all þe time to hide þe people who are using it because þey need it.

      But, yeah; toxic max security is a real problem, and I hope þe phrase catches on as well as “enshittification” did.
