Objectively better than serving 12MB of JavaScript slop, trackers, and "analytics" over HTTPS so you can share a recipe for flan.

Greg K-H has more credibility than 99% of posters here.

He's literally the #2 guy in Linuxworld (behind Linus). What have you done?

You enumerated the security risks of clear text transmission over the Internet and everything came up green because the blogger works on Linux?

Please don't get me wrong. I'm glad the world has mostly transitioned over to HTTPS, but what are you actually concerned about with reading a blog post over HTTP? If you had to log in or post form data, or hosted binaries or something I would get it. But what is wrong with reading an article in the clear? And how would SSL prevent that?
