Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

When you log onto Maggie's

Do you get a "Not safe" message?


If so, we have no idea why. We'll try to figure it out.


I get the same thing when I check on Powerline.

I believe it is http only. You need a TLS certificate hooked up for the domain to use https. Chrome will mark all unencrypted sites as insecure.

What Jack said ... no https certificate.

Easy to fix. Login to your account at anotherdotcom.com and setup the security certificate for https

"This server could not prove that it is maggiesfarm.anotherdotcom.com; its security certificate is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

Proceed to maggiesfarm.anotherdotcom.com (unsafe)"

Your web hosting service can help you out with adding TLS.

Your URI will change from http to https but it shouldn't be problem for those who have existing bookmarks. Any requests to the http URI will be redirected to automatically to the https URI

My answer is Yes many times. It just says other people can see what you write.

Nothing is safe on the internet.

"Not Secure"

Might be you; I haven't seen that message, here or on Powerline. What anti-virus/anti-malware are you using?

Mac and Firefox in a private browsing session, I never see these warnings at Maggies or Power Line

Depends on whether YOU have ticked the box -somewhere on your browser- that says you want to ONLY visit sites that are [[secure]] "https".
At least the experiments I've made indicate that that's the reason.

I have http://maggiesfarm.anotherdotcom.com bookmarked

It is flagged "no security" but I do not get a popup.

I tried jttps://maggiesfarm.anotherdotcom.com and got an AWS Apache "Installed but not configured" page.

There is a big push to only allow https, but it is getting considerable pusback.

Good luck with this issue.

Thanks,
Jim

Maggie's Farm is one of the very few websites that I visit that is only available as http: instead of https:

My usual browser is Chrome and it reports the website as 'Not secure'.

I doubt that this lack of secured access is the reason that, on some days, when I try to go to Maggie's Farm, I get some janky database error instead of the website page. The problem goes away after a few hours or days, but it reoccurs with enough frequency to make me think you're not actually fixing the cause, just putting on a bandaid.
