News from kb8ojh.net

posted 2013-11-19 at 03:21:

Given all of the recent news about traffic capture and eavesdropping and the like, as well as my own personal belief that a more private network is desirable, all content on kb8ojh.net is now also available with TLS encryption enabled. Some site features will likely be available only on secured connections going forward, and I may force encryption at some point.

Because I do not have a huge amount of trust in the CA infrastructure (the authorities can easily obtain a certificate signed by a trusted CA that "looks" like it's actually yours, a PGP-signed message validating the current kb8ojh.net certificate follows. Such a statement will be perpetually available at https://kb8ojh.net/certificate-signature.asc with a link from the front page.

ASAP isn't as ASAP as it used to be around here. The mercurial repos are back up, which means source links from /msp430 and /projects should work now.

Thanks for your understanding!

I'm migrating the web server from one VM to another, so the Mercurial repositories are temporarily down. I'll get them back up ASAP.

As you may have noticed, I have been working on site layout and usability over the past week or two. I make no claims to be a designer or anything like it, so we're stuck with ugly, but I have hopefully made navigation easier and the available content clearer. As the quantity of content increases from "laughably sparse" to "sparse", I hope this will help people find what they may be looking for.

If you notice any usability problems (such as bungled CSS covering up actual content) or brokenness, please let me know.
