Confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity :)

> Confidentiality

Reading a blog post about linux security? Do you actually care if the NSA/FBI/CIA/FDA/USDA or anyone else knows you read this particular blog post?

I could understand this argument if we were talking about a social media site, or something more substantial. But a blog post?

> authenticity

It's a linux security blog post. While it's technically possible for a MITM to get in between an inject false information... about linux security? Is that really a real threat?

> integrity

Maybe a real problem, assuming a malicious MITM is trying to target you. But, I suspect, there are other avenues that'd be more fruitful in that case. Just hoping that someone would visit an http site seems like a far fetched concern.
