Hmmm, hosting a hacker post without an https url…

Given that the Jargon File / Hacker’s Dictionary predates https by at least 20 years and is not remotely sensitive information, I don’t think it’s a problem.

P.S. This entry in particular might be informative:

Maybe I’m wrong, but using http could create a MITM vulnerability.

And for me this issue is my browser is setup to block http URLs. It’s just not a good look.

Maybe I’m wrong,

You are. The only way it “creates a MITM vuln” is if you’re entering sensitive information into the site, which you’re not.

Recommend also the seminal TMRC dictionary for several terms absent here, plus some memorably elegant definitions:

Kludge: A crock that works.
Crock: A kludge that doesn’t work.

Same again true of Peter Samson’s original 1959 and 1960 editions.
