#AskFedi: in a QUIC (*not* HTTP/3!) connection, how would one typically validate the key/identity of the other peer, when CA certificates are not available?
I'm looking at some QUIC implementations, and having trouble finding what I'd usually use; something like a client certificate fingerprint.

@sasha Thing is, there are more usecases than "talking to webservers on the public internet", and it's absurd for people to assume things about other people's usecases

Is there a name for general "grid with rules" puzzles that aren't based on outside knowledge like trivia or words?
Like the witness or the tile puzzles in Islands of Insight or the queen area game or even sudoku which although uses numbers it just uses them as separate symbols
re: grumbling, hackernews
@virtulis That's almost certainly exactly what it is. Otherwise a rationale would've been provided...

Apple got denied an extension on document discovery stuff with Epic and the denial from the judge is one of the best things I've ever read.
Absolutely calling them out on their nonsense behaviour for once!
It's 2 pages of perfection.

"Hm, I wonder why there's no QUIC or HTTP/3 support in Node.js yet"
"Well you shouldn't be using Node.js for anything anyway"
What is wrong with these people?
@arianvp Oh right, I guess every connection is encrypted and authenticated by default; I suppose that's the part I was missing

@ark It's been a while since I wrote that post so I do not have a comprehensive article about it within reach anymore, but the Wikipedia articles of the inventors seem like a decent place to start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_L._Kelling and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Q._Wilson (it's also hard to miss the racist undertones in its history)

The title gives away the plot, but this is a very good, long, detailed summary about the entire Wordpress/WP Engine fiasco of the past week from every angle: https://joshcollinsworth.com/blog/fire-matt
@julialuna@chaos.social Then I don't know unfortunately :(
@julialuna@chaos.social Sounds like it might have been a Foone thread?

Am I missing something or would an attacker be able to force a migration of someone else's connection in QUIC to a system under their control, by capturing the connection ID and spoofing a migration message with the same ID?

Holy shit i've been ranting about it and now it's actually happening??????
SNCF and DB will run a pair of direct daily daytime trains between Paris and Berlin, with a travel time of 8h, 2nd class ticket is supposed to be 60 EUR

Just put my #godot color swapper shader up for anyone to use. I designed it to create 4-color #gameboy palettes for my last jam game, but it should work with palettes of any size!
#AskFedi: Does anyone have any (FOSS, Linux-compatible) software suggestions for creating a virtual networking lab, for testing out P2P stuff in weird NAT environments and such?
Doesn't need to have a graphical interface, as long as whatever configuration it uses is well-documented.

I converted my brand new (to me) landline phone to a portable phone (and yes it depends on my mobile phone).
This entire setup draws around 1W when idle and 2W when ringing, so the portability is actually feasible.

I've noticed that when someone is asking you these sorts of questions about safety it is because they are looking for an external source to validate or normalize their questionable choices.
