Thanks very much for HTTPS. Turned on adds but a big moving anime game (if it only were not moving and not an anime game XD) ad directly under an article is indeed distracting. I guess when at least a "A" rating is reached here https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/anal...d=phoronix.com I'll make a donation (but ads turned off since these kind of ads annoy and I don't click on them anyway).
To reach an "A" rating you just need to change a few lines in the apache2 config (. Try https://mozilla.github.io/server-sid...fig-generator/ and may combine some lines from on the first page mentioned https://cipherli.st (like "SSLCompression off" (you may read here why to disable it). For a "A+" rating a bit more work is needed I think.

The mentioned site also shows how to get an "A+" rating https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/Stron...n_Apache2.html or simply https://www.google.de/search?q=getti...%2B+rating+ssl.

Hi, michael
Glad you enable HTTPS Support, it's a big win I think.
Now to the real reason I created an account:
I don't want to tell you how you should make your money, but personaly I use adblock, because the ads really destroy your else amazing fast page load times.
I have found that with the acceptable ads setting it's ok, for me on the desktop, but not mobile.
My suggestion to the problem would be to add a setting to disable ads selectively for logged in users, eg a checkbox that says disable top banner, disable side banner,...
Because personally I don't find the top banner that annoying and would enable it to support you.
I really would hear your point on this topic michael.
Greets,

About thye ads,
I use noscript to block unwanted content. As of right now I do have some of the addresses ive found that arent too annoying unblocked, but most of them are still blocked. You probably are making some money from my page hits, but not the maximum potential.

Tracker blocker, not adblocker
Still using a tracking blocker and not an adblocker but don't see any ads on this site ever. Try getting ads that don't try to track me across the entire internet and I'll view them and pay your bills. Continue using only tracking ads and I have no sympathy about blocking them.
