I remember, and I'd rather not repeat that bit of history. I don't want to say that Mercury is a bad idea because I'm not really qualified to make that judgment. However, I *will* say that I won't support protocols that don't require encrypted connections, whether over TLS, SSH, or something that replaces these 20 years from now. I don't want to serve my own stuff in the clear, and if I'm providing hosting to other people I don't want to serve their stuff in the clear either. It's just not safe. -- Matthew Graybosch gemini://starbreaker.org #include <disclaimer.h> gemini://demifiend.org https://matthewgraybosch.com gemini://tanelorn.city "Out of order?!
