The pitfalls of security
It looks like, by using https exclusively, Pingbacks, Trackbacks, Technorati, etc., simply won’t work with this blog. Ah well, I guess that’s just one of the pitfalls of security. I wonder why encryption seems so incompatible with the blogosphere? Eventually, everything is going to be encrypted. Continuing to send all of those usernames and passwords in plaintext is going to become untenable. Linux has already largely gone all-encrypted, phasing out Telnet and FTP for SSH and SFTP. In fact, the only thing I can think of that you would do with a Linux server that is unencrypted is serving up websites. Strange.
