  24. <description><![CDATA[With the demonification of unsecure HTTP traffic in full swing, the random nonsense that is this webserver clearly can't remain unsecured any longer.  A valid SSL certificate on ever server is the only solution for our future, so I've decided to do the absurd and <a href="https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=atomicinternet.homeip.net&latest">actually secure this website</a>.  Why internet browsers can't determine the uselessness of this website and agree SSL is wasted on it is beyond me.  And since I spent the time to generate the SSL cert of great waste, I decided to also properly forward all IPv6 traffic for this domain to this newly secured webserver as well.  <br /><b>BEHOLD:</b> <a href="https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=atomicinternet.homeip.net&s=108.210.48.199">The Grade A SSL Secured Abomination</a>]]></description>
