wow HTTPS sure makes swapping servers around less fun.
combined with the DNS lag I also have to make sure the certs get moved properly or people will get invalid certs. fun.

part of my problem with modern web development is that OBVIOUSLY everything should be HTTPS and the latest TLS and everything to avoid security issues, but I'm a retrocomputerist and I'm still like "but then my site won't work on Netscape 4.0! ;_;"

@foone@digipres.club I mean I don't necessarily agree that everything should be HTTPS. If you don't handle privacy-related info or user logins... why should it?

@LuigiDev @foone because it hides the host name. Because then things that are sensitive cannot be targeted or forced to downgrade

@falken@qoto.org @foone@digipres.club hostname is not really hidden anyway. Since DNS is not always protected and even then IP is always visible

@LuigiDev @foone hardly anyone has one site per ip. DNS is aggressivly encrypted in the largest browser. Moves also afoot to scramble sub domains at resolver level
