about the SSL stuff? nope, it's an actual thing now. the push is to get everyone to encrypt their web traffic.

Can I ask about the free aspect? Last I saw (and I admit it's been awhile since i looked) it was a paid service/certification. TIA

Check out letsencrypt.org, they offer free certs using their open source platform.

from let's encrypt:

Quote:Let’s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA), run for the public’s benefit. Let’s Encrypt is a service provided by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG).

The key principles behind Let’s Encrypt are:

Free: Anyone who owns a domain name can use Let’s Encrypt to obtain a trusted certificate at zero cost.
Automatic: Software running on a web server can interact with Let’s Encrypt to painlessly obtain a certificate, securely configure it for use, and automatically take care of renewal.
Secure: Let’s Encrypt will serve as a platform for advancing TLS security best practices, both on the CA side and by helping site operators properly secure their servers.
Transparent: All certificates issued or revoked will be publicly recorded and available for anyone to inspect.
Open: The automatic issuance and renewal protocol will be published as an open standard that others can adopt.
Cooperative: Much like the underlying Internet protocols themselves, Let’s Encrypt is a joint effort to benefit the community, beyond the control of any one organization.

I believe startssl also offers free certs as well.

Check out http://www.shavemeetup.com/

This thread hasn't seen action in a while.

We have a shave meetup here in Nashville in September and their website has them for the rest of the country.
