I used to feel the same way. I have nothing private on my website. i didn't need https

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.

    This is a fantastic video that can teach a lot about transmission protocols and encryption.

    Wow, great video. I liked the overview of how HTTPS/TLS works.

    If people don't want to see my site with random trash inserted into it, they can choose not to access it through broken and/or compromised networks.

    If your government is actively hostile to your communications, overthrow it.
