No HTTPS for this site? :-/
(In 2014, he might have had a tiny point --- but, now... Hmm.)
I ran on that philosophy for a long time too, but Let's Encrypt tipped the balance for me. When TLS certs cost real money it was easy to decide that the super-marginal security benefits for my minimal readers weren't worth hundreds of my dollars a year. Now it's more on the order of "incidental noise in what it took to set the website up anyhow", so I go for it.
All that said, thanks for your wholehearted efforts over the years on behalf of RSS and all of us who still enjoy using it.
