Also curious (as a flagged sibling commenter) about the lack of a HTTPS version of this site—which seems to have user accounts.
The site also has this cute badge in the bottom left: "Powered By En Garde. Secure by Design. Secure By Default".
En Garde seems to be a Linux distro, so I get that they're talking about the security of the server OS itself, and not about securing users connecting to that web server, but surely the former should serve the latter?
Ironically, the very first HN submission from this site is entitled "OpenSSL vulnerability", so they're at least aware that SSL exists, and is related to the concept of security.
> In defense of author of the linked article; he probably has nothing to do with the management of the site.
True. And since the original author's copy[0] openly invites mirrors (and is no longer maintained, since the author has died), it's fine for them to rehost it. I just found their website somewhat odd.
nope, it is still there, but you won't see it if you are using https everywhere addon. Port 443 is being forwarded to a different site and the linked article does not exist on that site. You can only view the article on port 80 (no https).
