Has there ever been an adequate rebuttal to this rant against HTTP/2? varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/p…

When combined with this research about security vulnerabilities in reverse proxies when connecting to HTTP/1 backends: portswigger.net/web-security/r… I'm inclined to just disable HTTP/2 on servers I'm responsible for, and in fact have already done that in some places.

This feels like a market manipulation play. Markets trend downward on news like this, because they'll tank if tariffs go into effect.

If you happen to know it's a lie, you could make tons of money scooping up assets as they're sold. A perk of being in the Trump group chat.

I really hope someone is watching admin insider trades and seeing who's buying the dips at times like this.

A (hopefully good) comparison of decentralised video sharing platforms like @loops, @peertube and @owncast to centralised platforms like Youtube and Tiktok went online yesterday.

The Rise of Decentralized Video Platforms – Comparing Loops, PeerTube, and Other Alternatives to YouTube and TikTok

Platforms like Loops and PeerTube offer new ways to share videos, in a world where the monopolies of YouTube and TikTok dominate video-sharing, while prioritizing user control, privacy, and federation.

just as i thought i knew everything i needed to know about the development of fascism ―a very EuroAmerican flavah of authoritarianism― i find myself being schooled by… well… scholars.

today i columbused a few things about the links between the development of authoritarianism and fashion in Europe…

one thing that kind of bothers me about this post is that it feels like on some level I "should" be explaining what a login shell is (to explain the diff between .bashrc and .bash_profile) jvns.ca/blog/2025/02/13/how-to…

but if I try it always feels like it descends into drawing some kind of diagram like this and it just doesn't feel worth it, like who has time for that (source: blog.flowblok.id.au/2013-02/sh…)

an extremely chaotic diagram showing when bash uses .bashrc vs .bash_profile

Wrote up my first impressions of the new GPT-4.5 - it's quite slow, VERY expensive and doesn't appear to be a notable leap forward from GPT-4o or o3-mini simonwillison.net/2025/Feb/27/…

GPT-4.5 is out today as a "research preview" - it's available to OpenAI Pro ($200/month) customers but also to developers with an API key. OpenAI also published [a GPT-4.5 system …
