Let me explain the #OpenSSL #QUIC API move and what it might mean. For #curl and for others.

OpenSSL does a QUIC API
But will it satisfy the world? I have blogged several times in the past about how OpenSSL decided to not ship the API for QUIC a long time ago, even though the entire HTTP world was hoping for it - or even expecting it.daniel.haxx.se
We're in an age where important video and audio online may be deleted without warning and without any ability to find it elsewhere. There's a very useful tool which lets you store an offline copy of video and audio called YT-DLP:
I don't normally like command line tools, but this is pretty easy to use. After you've installed it, you just type yt-dlp and then the URL of the video or audio, then it saves it as a DRM-free file on your computer.
It works with a variety of different video and audio platforms.
(This replaces an earlier tool called yt-dl which is no longer maintained.)

I very much welcome quote posts. Despite the fears that some have about it, I believe it’s needed.
What’s important is that the @Mastodon team was mindful about their decision, spending ages simply considering it.
There’s an opt-out, which means those who want it can use it. And those who don’t, can keep it from happening to their posts.

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important
Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your sideGarrett Bucks (The White Pages)
I contacted ebooks.com to see how I could shop DRM-free ebooks only. They gave me this link: ebooks.com/en-us/drm-free/
I also noticed that if you choose a category when the search results come up, you can turn on a check box in the Filter column to select DRM-Free.
So this looks like it might be a good resource for buying DRM-free books that aren't tied to any app.

You will need an appropriate QR code scan app like Binary Eye. Read more here: manual.davx5.com/integration.h…
Pro tip: save the QR code somewhere and whenever you want to re-setup simply scan it again
. Also great to help other not so tech savvy users by simply giving them a QR code!
