the site does not collect cookies, encryption is not needed, only http

corrected. thanks. ;-)

i guess that is fair i personally have ssl on any website i have but maybe its just me.
what are you using for your translations? real people or some machine translations? if i choose serbian from the menu is perfectly coherent, which i didnā€™t expect.

also ur website reminds of something my dad would browse back in 2007 via dialup, so the vibe of that era is perfect !

I have SSL on my website, too, but I still allow HTTP as well as HTTPS connections.

i have HSTS preload on mine. even submited to preload list, so my domain is hardcoded as https into chromium

Thatā€™s fine, but I donā€™t want to limit access to my site to browsers that implement HTTPS, because I still get visitors with really old, low-end computers that canā€™t do SSL, TLS, HTTPS. So I still allow HTTP on an ā€œat your own riskā€ basis. It seems like the right thing to do.

my whole css would break on an old(er) browsers so thereā€™s no point in trying to support them. most of my ā€˜visitorsā€™ are just me anyways if i can trust umami

thatā€™s how it was planned)) so that the spirit of that era when the Internet was non-corporate could be felt. the translator is a neural network, I also checked Ukrainian (Iā€™m Ukrainian), it translated very well

Iā€™m still thinking about how to do it better, maybe ban HTTPS on the server? I donā€™t want to use third-party services, Iā€™m irritated by sites that have a cloud spinning for a minute, then you prove that you are a person, this is inhumane, the site should just open, without unnecessary bells and whistles, I think so. Especially if no data is collected

solved the problem with the certificate on the site

I am accepting materials for another week, if anyone wants to publish.
the issue will be released at the beginning of next month

I can definitely see the wisdom in this approach!

I would love for somebody to correct me if Iā€™m wrong, but I think it should be technically feasible to run an HTTPS to HTTP proxy right on the average consumer WiFi router. I wonder if OpenWRT or anything like it offer something like that?

(Iā€™m not arguing that webmasters shouldnā€™t still offer HTTP versions of their sites if they want to. Iā€™m just thinking about how to better extend the useful life of older machines in general. I feel like youā€™d want to push a lot of security measures into your gateway when taking an such a device onto the internet.)

the hosting on which the site is located is static, but has a built-in CMS, widgets, and additional modules that are built in using a script-construction, there is nothing to take specifically from the sites themselves, they do not collect cookies, so I do not understand what kind of data or what kind of protection is needed? this is an HTML site, all the data that is on the site is on the surface, nothing is encrypted or hidden, the siteā€™s database cannot be hacked because it simply does not exist, text files. The design opens even with DOS browsers. and the server is maintained by a large hosting company, forget about DDoS.

if you host such a site at home and want to have HTTP - make sure that the site is as simple as possible

Finally, the third issue is out,

get comfortable

and enjoy reading.
