It’s the time of year where I apply kaizen: To stop, reflect, and continuously improve.

I’m scared of the future. It seemed so uncertain and scary out there. Meanwhile, my days in university is numbered. I couldn’t start it with positivism and optimism like what I did in my 17th, where after reading it back, I laughed at myself 😃 Many things have changed but some things will not.

Free SSL certificates, issued by Let’s Encrypt, have been around for quite a while. Enabling it on a shared hosting is an issue, since users cannot execute any executables (or very limited set of commands) on it.

I’ve been using premium shared hosting service from Hostinger Indonesia for few years now to host my personal website (kenrick95.org). Here are the steps required to enable Let’s Encrypt SSL on Hostinger shared hosting.
