I don't have data on this, but I suspect usage of public Wi-Fi is going to keep declining in favor of cellular data as it becomes cheaper and data caps rise/go away So, in that case, would TLS still be useful? It just seems like q

I find it fascinating how kids, without being told, eventually realize that Santa Clause isn't real. Is it because they never get to see him? "Mall Santas" are a common thing all over the world, so I don't think it can b

Thanks for the link. As I suspected, I can only get FTTC (80/20). FTTPoD is available but ... as you mentioned it's not exactly the best option. Going by https://www.openreach.com/fibre-broadband - I see "Goo

Is this US only? I got "This address is invalid". I live in the UK at the moment. Would be good to know a bit more about this tool. I'd love to get FTTP!

I wonder if using a public instance of free software is a problem? i.e. https://sr.ht is an instance of Sourcehut. I figure if it turns nasty, or is going to disappear, I can take my data to a self-hosted instance.

Hmm, I went to get you an example and I found they seem to dismiss if you click elsewhere on the page. I think I was clicking on the close button (the "x" in the title bar) - which won't work without JavaScript.

I remember looking into why A/AAAA is still used over SRV, and it would seem performance is one of the big concerns; browsers do not want to make more DNS lookups than necessary. I think they'd end up with 4 lookups; A, AAAA, SRV

Is anyone else feeling quite sad reading this article? ALPN being used because only 80/443 are realistic these days, middleboxes causing the TLS handshake to have padding so it's not misinterpreted with an ancient protocol (SSLv2)
