Title: enabling SSL
Post by: pdw1 on April 18, 2022, 04:45:02 PM
Hi Slim,
People who know better then me suggest you enable SSL as a default. Are we a security risk?

Interesting point. I don't see it as necessary for a site like this, which is not entrusted with sensitive information.

re-used passwords are always a risk. I know we should all use a different password for each site but someone wont.

Nearly got dragged into an argument on FB about this with Dodds, then decided I couldnt be arsed. Arguing Rush with him was painful enough....

For perspective - over the nearly 20 years of its existence, TNMS never had an SSL cert. Neither do other similar fora I can think of, with considerably more traffic than this one. I can probably get a free certificate from Amazon so it wouldn't cost anything except my time, but I honestly don't think it's worth it.

Agreed, and if anyone is ever worried about their email addresses, passwords, I wil be more than happy to do a pro Dark Web Search for them and see what is out there
