It sounds like the "breakdown in communication" amounts to the LVFS maintainer not being informed, as everyone is naturally obliged to do so(!), that System76 were adopting a different strategy, and according to this reply due to

An explicitly content-free marketing announcement relating to a contemporary industry buzzword. I know it's worth paying attention to the big fish, but this is literally a zero content 100% time wasting post. Flagged it because IMHO it

Annoyingly since they moved to the continuous publishing model I'm disincentivized to subscribe, as I haven't the discipline to defer reading until Thursdays, and so I can't continue enjoying LWN like I had for the previous d

The project page covers all of this, and takes the time to recommend various filtering strategies. It's not like this stuff is much worse than a faulty washing machine or hair dryer doing the same, or that the very same equipment under

Might this (today, tomorrow) become another way to get access to the wonderful Lucene from non-Java environments? A long, long time ago there was a GCJ-based solution, but it was never loved much (either the port or GCJ itself). SubstrateVM

DHT isn't magic.. every peer builds a cache of other DHT peers over time, but for a new client it'll have no such cache, so falling back to trackers is still important. (IIRC older DHT clients also fell back to a hardcoded "b

Since the ClientHello is sent in the clear, a MITM can simply reset the connection until the client retries with SNI. Again, there is no generally useful way to solve this

SNI-enabled browsers send the unencrypted hostname in the initial ClientHello frame. It's the first transaction in the protocol, and it's how the server decides the content of the ServerHello reply. There is no way to detect the a

I appreciate that you're being candid, but it's clear you also know that posting what you posted in this context is somehow wrong - otherwise why else justify it (childishly) on having a bad day? Now my complaint: you could have p

It should in principle be possible to classify brand new Quic connections, since a tiny handful of its fields are cleartext during the initial handshake (flags and version, in both client/server directions) As for classifying existing
