![]() Perturbation /////////////////////////////////////////// Georgia QSO Party Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:52 PM PDT https://ke9v.net/2016/04/10/georgia-qso-party/ I waded into the Georgia QSO Party this afternoon. All 40 meter phone doing the search & pounce routine. Im a terrible contest operator but I blame some of it on my logging program. Its fancy enough to pull data from QRZ in as I enter call signs. If it only pulled address data that would be fine, but it also drags up whatever photo appears on that operators QRZ page.Â*Im easily distracted and if you pop a station photo of someone I just worked up on the screen, Im off on a quest to see what all there is to see about the other guy. Managing 21 contacts in 13 unique countiesÂ*(273 points) while also researching each and every one of them in just an hour, well Im not bragging but that wasnt half bad. /////////////////////////////////////////// HTTPS Everywhere Posted: 10 Apr 2016 07:34 AM PDT https://ke9v.net/2016/04/10/https-everywhere/ WordPress.com has added encryption to the blogs they host, including this one. Today we are excited to announce free HTTPS for all custom domains hosted on WordPress.com. This brings the security and performance of modern encryption to every blog and website we host. Most social services like Facebook and Twitter have supported HTTPS for a while now, but WordPress.com was lagging behind for custom domain names. But thanks to the work of the Lets Encrypt project, the automatic conversion of over a million blogs to HTTPS was made easier and less expensive.Â*Each website has an SSL certificate and will display a green lock in the browser address bar when being viewed. As the EFF points out as part of their Encrypt the Web initiative, strong encryption protects our users in various ways, including defending against surveillance of content and communications, cookie theft, account hijacking, and other web security flaws. In addition to supporting the quest for a more secure Web, Google also announced HTTPS is now used as a ranking signal in search results, with HTTPS-enabled sites being ranked above their plaintext counterparts. Chalk it up as a win for the good guys. |
