Let’s Encrypt!

Thanks to the Let’s Encrypt project, my blog now has a trusted certificate and traffic to it is encrypted.

Of course there is nothing especially private about this blog, so why encrypt?

Well for one thing, by encrypting those who log in can keep their account details private.

But for the overwhelming majority of visitors (who do not log in) all it adds is a bit of privacy. Snoopers still know that you are visiting a dodgy website lurking underneath my stairs, but they won’t know what lurid posts you are reading.
