Patch ArcanaI AM ABSOLUTELY BEGGING Y'ALL.
If you are bringing back personal/hobby/small-business websites (and you should be), enable RSS.
And TLS, but that's a whole other thing.
(Regards TLS, I actually published a guide on how I best like to do it: https://www.arcanalabs.ca/guides/revproxy.html)
As far as RSS goes that gets complex too but less so than you'd think. Some static site generators do though.
Mandi@patcharcana I don't actually know what TLS is... Something new for me to learn!
ZahmbieND@mandikaye @patcharcana As a summary: TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a secure communication over a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) socket, allowing encrypted data to be sent over the internet.
Enabling TLS on a HTTP server allows access to HTTPS, encrypting all data sent to/from the server.
TLS includes certificates proving the identity of the server, and makes data practically unreadable and tamper-proof by all except the client and server.

@mandikaye @patcharcana Without TLS/HTTPS on a website, an attacker could:
- See secrets like passwords and uploaded files
- See what page you are viewing
- See the content of the page you are viewing
- Modify the text of the page to deceive the reader
With TLS enabled, all an attacker sees is:
- What server you're connected to
- Approximately how large the file is you're accessing
- See secrets like passwords and uploaded files
- See what page you are viewing
- See the content of the page you are viewing
- Modify the text of the page to deceive the reader
