Re: Use HTTPS

I think https is way overdue on Debian forums.
Let's Encrypt provides free certificates to encourage http websites to move to https websites. https://letsencrypt.org/
Most people don't like to log into a forum with a password sent in plain text, but would prefer to use TLS 1.2 encryption.
https://letsencrypt.org/stats/ reports the percentage of web pages loaded by Firefox using https during the past twelve months has climbed from below 50% to over 50%.
The trend over a longer time frame shows a clear movement to https websites.
EFF through Let's Encrypt is pushing for 100% encryption and they have support from many Linux users.
