"It wasn't me!" 😇

OMG, @protonprivacy has added support for WireGuard over TCP and WG over TLS (branded Stealth) to their Windows software!
And the changelog entry for such game changer version is "Bug fixes and performance improvements" — very descriptive 🤦
The source for this isn't yet available on their GitHub, but I hope it will soon. But what I'm interested in most is their fork of wireguard-go that works on normal non-Android Linux-systems so I can run it on my proxy and stop using my phone as a VPN box.

Cover it with at least six layers of electric tape 😈

The eels can at least call firemen if your house catches fire to return the favour ☝

Does water make your cellphone magically get Conversations?
Does air make your cellphone have Element? 🤔

@kirby
Yeah, some indication is fine — back in the days there even a tiny dialog popped up if you were being redirected to HTTP from HTTPS page.
That is perfectly fine to give a warning, what I'm generally against is computers guessing what I want as if they know better 😄

@jordan
You are right of course, for some this is the result of their own actions and they have to hit rock bottom to start getting their shit together and returning to stability, there are even those who are outright parasites to the society despite not really being wealthy, but I thinks such cases are pretty rare compared to the number of people who go into poverty due to shortcomings of the economic system. Inequality is actually a pretty important metric IMO.

Gemini came with TLS baked it, but soon it became obvious that in some scenarios encryption only gives overhead with no benefits. So people came up with Guppy and another one that I can't recall the name of. It's okay to transmit some things in plain text — if you are aware of it working this way of course 😉

@gemlog
Yes, that's the thing, you may want to also set browser.fixup.fallback-to-https to false if you want it to fail with an error if the website is not responding on HTTP instead of attempting to redirect you to HTTPS, but it's not that important.
I have nothing against HTTPS, I'm against enforcing it everywhere even when you know precisely what you're doing.

Firefox 129 Now Available With HTTPS Replacing HTTP As Default Protocol: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Firefox-129-Released

"…most websites are defaulting these days to promoting HTTP connections to HTTPS anyhow"
Why do you guys do this shit then? The ones who want their visitors to use HTTPS have ways to do that, those who don't — they don't want that. I've been disabling this "HTTPS by default" thing for years — with the way FF became, I'm not even sure they have left this option. Another reason to not update! 😩

@kaia
What's up with stonks today?
Okay, I'm interested enough to open up the news 😅

@swaggboi @apophis
They have even made a video game based on said asteroid wiping out most of the mankind:

"Rage is set in a post-apocalyptic near future, following the impact of the asteroid 99942 Apophis on Earth" 😱

@newt
In one set? 😲
That sounds like… a lot!

@unspeaker
OMG, this looks exciting! 🤩
I'm a huge fan of both: Live and TUI software. Looking forward to what you can do with this.
I wish I could help and contribute, I have some (mostly theoretic) knowledge of signal processing and audio programming, but I don't feel confident enough with Rust yet.

@munir
I was looking through the logs on Breloma, I see a ping from your instance and I have this though that I haven't seen your posts on the timeline in a while. I started wondering if your instance and this one are federating properly, so I open your account on your instance to look what's up and see this post! It was only 2 seconds (!) old at that moment. That was really funny 😆
