For a while now, I have been using an SSL certificate signed by CAcert.org for this blog. CAcert.org is a community-owned certificate authority, that can issue free certificates to the public. However, its root certificate is not included in the most common browsers, which makes CAcert.org -signed certificate significantly less useful. Furthermore, my certificate had long expired, but I had been too busy (or too lazy?) to take the time to renew it…
Until now. I took the opportunity to switch to a certificate authority whose root certificate is bundled with major browsers, so hopefully, readers will not see any scary warnings anymore when reading this blog over https. And since that issue was solved, I have also switched the entire website to https for everyone. If you encounter issues, please do let me know!
One day, I might even update the photos in the header, and replace them by some that I took myself. But that’s something else entirely.
