Description
use HTTPS for all internet connections
right now the default connections for buildbot assests URL, buildbot cores URL, and libretro thumbnails URL use HTTP instead of HTTPS
it's only possible to change the 2 buildbot URLs (not the thumbnails URL) in retroarch.cfg
core_updater_buildbot_assets_url = "https://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/"
core_updater_buildbot_cores_url = "https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/apple/osx/x86_64/latest/"

Research direction
Search the C source and configuration handling for the buildbot assets URL, buildbot cores URL, and libretro thumbnails URL named in the issue. Check how each default is assembled and whether the thumbnails URL can be configured. Done means all default internet connections use HTTPS while the two existing configuration overrides continue to work.
