Because Drummer and FeedLand now do their own identity via email, I had to switch them to HTTPS last year. And I’ve pretty much been converting anything that builds on those apps to HTTPS as well. As a side-effect I had to convert the image URLs in Scripting News, which is served by HTTP, to HTTPS so they wouldn’t show up as broken images in FeedLand. They almost certainly have been showing up broken in other feed reading software, for years.
Anyway, even though it would be relatively easy to convert scripting.com to HTTPS, it would break every single image that appeared before 2023.
I will also never do it for the simple reason that this site goes back to 1994, and if I switched to HTTPS now, well what about all the other sites of its era that are breaking due to this really ill-conceived corner-turn. And who there
