    Quite a naive (and also stereotypically American) perspective, really. Just ignoring major parts of the economy, like the music, film, book publishing industries etc. They are all based on people doing anything that’s not “legit” according to this guy. Also a smell of a very naive concept of “legit science” lurks behind this. Clearly someone who has no clue about how science works.


  • @KingWizard is right, you don’t understand the fundamentals of this. You’re asking good questions, but people have been asking them decades ago and already found reasonably good answers. HTTPS works okay for what it does. Check out letsencrypt, watch some talks about it. Informing yourself about the matter will get you further than asking more random questions on lemmy.



  • That’s a good theory sir/lady, and actually was the case until around 10 years ago.

    Then Snowden happened, and we found out that the nsa is sucking all unencrypted traffic out of the net and into their databases.

    Then letsencrypt happened and now you can get your certificates for free. Don’t pay 1000$. Letsencrypt is free and you can automatically update certificates. If your hoster doesn’t offer https for free, choose a different hoster.
