As I am browsing through the settings in firefox I see the odd setting of using it's own DNS over https enabled. My settings should be copied over from the account I use and I know that I've **never** turned this setting on.

I'm now on the SBC Pi5 running MX Linux Pi respin.

My own dns config is perfectly fine and Im changing it back.

Why is the firefox team doing this? IS there any protective benifit from having this setting on?

»HTTP/1.1 Must Die – It's time to acknowledge HTTP/1.1 is insecure«

Admittedly, I know pers. not how seriously you have to take this but I am only developing web servers set to HTTP/2.0, because HTTP/3 is not yet extensively supported.

Can’t connect to public WiFi via Linux

I am using Fedora 42, and I am unable to access the captive portal of inOui TGV. I can connect to the WiFi with no problems, but I can’t get access to the Internet.

I have tried everything:

  1. Connecting to 192.168.1.1, to http://neverssl.com, to http://wifi.sncf via browser
  2. Running sudo dhclient -r and rebooting the device
  3. Running systemctl restart NetworkManager
  4. Also other stuff I tried in the past with other public WiFis. I am sure there is something wrong with my specific device configuration, it’s not this network.

Nothing works 😩

Can somebody who understands this stuff help me?

@jwildeboer : modern certificates are used for authentication only, not for secure connections.

OTOH, if you have no certainty that your software is communicating with the server you intended, a secure connection to it is pointless - but the connection remains secure.

Using TLS v1.3, the connection is even secured before the server is authenticated (if, after encrypting the connection, the authentication of the server fails, then the client should at least warn the user - if not immediately disconnect).

Yes, I know, these are boring details, but they are misunderstood way too often by people who SHOULD know how this works (I know you do, but please don't simplify things too much).

👋🤓 Goodbye Site.js, Hello Kitten!

I started working on creating a Small Web¹ server (a peer-to-peer Web server) six years ago² with Site.js.

Building Site.js was my first attempt. And it resulted in:

• Auto Encrypt (automatic Let’s Encrypt certificates): codeberg.org/small-tech/auto-e

• Auto Encrypt Localhost (automatic localhost TLS certificates): codeberg.org/small-tech/auto-e

• @small-tech/https (drop-in Node.js https module replacement with automatic TLS certs everywhere): codeberg.org/small-tech/https

• JSDB: In-process, in-memory JavaScript database that persists to append-only JavaScript logs: codeberg.org/small-tech/jsdb

As Site.js reached an evolutionary dead-end, and as I learned from my experiements with replicated data types that replicated data types are *not* a prerequisite for a decentralised web (actual topological decentralisation and ease of use are), I started writing a new server/platform called Kitten from scratch while still making use of the tried and tested modules listed above.

Last week, I switched over our last site using Site.js to Kitten and, with that, today I’ve sunset³ Site.js:

sitejs.org

For its successor, please see Kitten:

kitten.small-web.org

@GossiTheDog @signalapp it merely prevents #Screenshots by claiming it's #DRM'd content.

The correct solution for #Signal would be to alert all their users and specifically block #Windows in general or at least #Windows11 simply because it is a #Govware and empirically cannot be made private or secure.

But that would require them to actually give a shit, which thed don't, cuz otherwise they would've stopped demanding #PII like a #PhoneNumber and moved out of juristiction of #CloudAct.

  • I mean, what's gonna prevent the #Trump-Regime from threatening @Mer__edith et. al. with lifetime in jail for not kicking the #ICC (or anyone else he and his fans dislike) from #Signal's infrastructure?

Since they are highly centralized.they certainly are capable to comply with "#Sanctions" (or whatever bs he'll claim!)...
