Sometimes "the industry" "moves on without" a valuable perspective. That doesn't mean those "left behind" (e.g. Richard Stallman) should give up. Something something "marketplace of ideas."

But yeah, GP, get a Let's Encrypt certificate for the sake of your readers!

OT :

What http site is left we can go to when isp or WiFi greets with a welcome login page. Going to https sites gives an error.

http://example.com/

http://neverssl.com or http://detectportal.firefox.com/canonical.html

You are welcome to use my site: http://krazerlasers.com

You are also welcome to use my html boilerplate:

  <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
  <html><head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="blue-white.css">

ISPs & WiFi APs can stop trying to attack connections like that, and implement RFC 8910[1].

Otherwise… example.com, maybe. I guess we'll see how long the http version of that lasts.

I assume ISPs will get around to this a few decades after implementing IPv6.
