Um, good? If people avoid your site because its not secure, maybe you should fix it?


What does it mean to fix a site that does not accept/process POST requests?


Start serving over https? Since when has encryption only mattered for POST?


Can you explain the benefit in other situations?

Preventing MitM attacks is the only thing I can think of.


You're kidding right? Its 2018, there is no reason to not use https these days. With lets encrypt its not like its costing you anything.


There can be some reasons. Assume you have a site/blog hosted by a service provider like Wordpress, Medium, Github.io, Blogger, Tumblr or some other local provider. It can be expected at least some of them don't support SSL certificates for custom domains.


time to get a new host then?


Time is money. It takes time to set it up.


So does showering, and you do that before interacting with people outside right?


damn, I should do what you do for a living if five whole minutes costs that much.


It's easy for people like us to set it up. I've set up Letsencrypt many, many times.

Now, imagine you are Joe Blow hosting his blog on some small web host that barely supports Wordpress. Logging into CPanel is confusing to you. How do you deploy SSL?


that is a fair point.


It looks like CPanel does support a letsencrypt plugin, which is really cool: https://blog.cpanel.com/announcing-cpanel-whms-official-lets...

However, I have to wonder how many hosts actually enable it...


Far as I know, no. Asked this question on the issue page. Really want to find out as I have at least one server that could have been affected. Kind of frustrating that this is all the information there is.


you dont really need Ctrl-R in fish. Just type the command you are searching for and hit the up arrow key. Same effect


Ctrl+R is more convenient if you are a touch typist. Using an arrow key forces you to take your right hand off from the home row.
