I'm also very doubtful about technology oriented media outlets that don't
know how to manage SSL/TLS - especially when they expect me to pay them
money through their website:

https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.linuxjournal.com

The short version: they commit several crimes, but the worst is not
supporting TLS 1.2 at all.  Since TLS 1.1 and 1.0 are so weak as to be
broken, I'm not going to trust their site.  (I found this out because I
cranked up the security on FF to refuse TLS below 1.2.)
