De coronapandemie bestrijden is niet als fietsen

Bij het fietsen moet je continu balanceren om niet naar links of naar rechts om te vallen. Hierbij loop je het risico om te snel bij te sturen, terwijl je al de goede kant op ging. Dus schiet je nog harder de andere kant op om dat weer te compenseren. Vandaar het geslinger van een beginnende fietser.

Het kabinet past die logica toe op het bestrijden van de pandemie: neem maatregelen, wacht dan zo'n twee weken of die effect hebben, ga dan eventueel denken over nieuwe maatregelen.

The HTTPS and HTTP conundrum

The past few days I have added HTTPS support to bgpexpert.com and iljitsch.com. About ten years ago, I experimented a bit with SSL/TLS (HTTPS) support in Apache, and that was rather difficult.

But no more. Thanks to the efforts of Let's Encrypt and the ACME protocol as implemented in certbot, adding HTTPS support to your websites is now almost ridiculously easy.

Test post preparing for HTTPS

For some time now there's been a push to move the entire web from HTTP (no encryption) to HTTPS (with encryption).

I never felt it was necessary to encrypt static content. But the time has come to cave to peer pressure, and enjoy a few benefits such as the ability to post images to web forums.

However, I still feel very strongly about everything remaining accessible over HTTP. If you go HTTPS-only, you are now relying on a certificate authority (as well as your own ability to keep certificates up to date!), and you're cutting off some older systems and losing some performance. Also, having to change everything wholesale will be somewhat of a nightmare.
