That should have been everything except webbrowsers followed the SSH

As for every "my cat is awesome" blog, the same could be said for junk
mail, why should we care about getting email over encryption? Because
some times there are just some things that should remain private, and
I'm not talking about smut although I highly doubt "if you have nothing
to hide" crowd would appreciate putting a web cam in their bedrooms, we
all have something to hide from some one and the more encrypted things
get the more privacy you can retain. Although the ideals of privacy seem
to be a lost cause with most people using social networks...
As the
computational overhead of encryption, and the cost of the certs,
is really worth it for every 'my cat is awesome' blog...
This is why everything went SSH based, cause it's a rip off, but it's
certainly not the only way to do it, as for computational cost have
you browsed a bank website on a phone lately, the cost is getting
close to zero...
