This is why build in public rocks!! > @skeptrune does something cool > Tweets about it > I just wanted to share that I did it in a different way and replied > @dok2001 replies about something important and nick quotes it with detailed explanation > Algorithm shows this update to me > I raised a PR to the public suffix list repo for superblog's inclusion, essentially making it a better product

Cloudflare CTO made a good callout on something I should add to my blog and I managed to get it added, along with a new feature, while driving to Apple Hill, CA 2.5hrs out of SF here's how 👇 1. my phone and office desktop pc are on the same tailscale, so i started by ssh'ing into that box 2. `tmux a - t personalsite` to bring up my dev session for it, then open pane 0 with Claude code 3. tell Claude to curl the wiki for public suffix and add a h3 section under the security h2 recommending users do it but then, here's where it gets interesting!! i wanted to share the new section with Dane and therefore it was finally time to ship headings being clickable anchor links i had Claude do it, but was worried they would look weird due to anchir tag styles applying and therefore wanted to see the changes locally. now remember the code is running on my desktop in the office 2hrs away and I'm currently interacting with it via my phone with vite Dev server, which Astro uses, you can add a "--host flag" to access it on the box externally, so I did that and started "yarn dev --host" then grabbed the desktop's IP in tailscale, navigated to ": 4321" on my phone's browser, saw it was messed up like i suspected, had Claude fix it, commit push, and done!! link with an anchor was summarily deployed to prod by CI and I shared with Dane 🫡

A new book explores an intriguing idea: that there are core processes in some platforms that naturally tilt the table towards being implemented in a single company. mnot.net/blog/2024/11/2…

The EU AI Act and emerging practice flip copyright’s default opt-in regime to an opt-out one. What effects is this likely to have on the balance of power between rights holders and reuse? mnot.net/blog/2024/09/1…

I wrote about this topic a while back, so it's exciting to be on the PC of an Internet Architecture Board @intarchboard workshop on technical opt-out mechanisms for AI crawlers (with a focus on robots.txt)! Get your submissions in. iab.org/announcements/…

The phrase 'Open Standards' is widely used but not well-understood. Let's take a look at what openness in standards is, with a focus on whether and how it helps to legitimise the design and maintenance of the Internet. mnot.net/blog/2024/07/0…

@mnot @yoavweiss I could also follow up on the email I wrote y'all ~4 years ago about running the ID through the independent stream. 🤷 Seems worth asking again whether other vendors are interested, but my strong suspicion is that folks will be (even) less interested in cookie changes these days.

I went poking around Chromium's cookie code and came back with a few insights and lots of code pointers. Posting it in case it'd help someone else with their cookie eviction trouble blog.yoav.ws/posts/how_chro…

@mikewest I wonder if it would help to revive it as "not a Google-only problem" (although @mnot did say he saw it elsewhere) Also, evicting non-secure cookies first would be neat to document and make interoperable

If you implement or use HTTP at scale, you might be interested in attending. It's 2-3 days of lightly structured discussion; we rely on the depth of experience in the room to make it valuable. We also welcome students and want to diversify our community. httpworkshop.org

It’s common for voluntary technical standards developing organisations to make decisions by consensus, rather than (eg) voting. This post explores why we use consensus, what it is, how it works in Internet standards and when it can become problematic. mnot.net/blog/2024/05/2…

Law enforcement is asking - yet again - for access to encrypted communications. This post tries to succinctly summarise why that's a bad idea. mnot.net/blog/2024/04/2…

One of the most contentious issues in AI is content owners' control over use of their material in the datasets that are used to feed LLMs. This article looks at one commonly mentioned solution - robots.txt - and how it measures up. mnot.net/blog/2024/04/2…

@grittygrease This encourages what I've termed 'begpliance'. Privacy.txt should encode privacy governance policies that browsers and other tools can enforce at runtime. The future of privacy is always-active enforcement, not additional network requests to manually opt out of tracking.

I'm excited to share a new proposal to improve privacy online: privacy.txt This new format aims to standardize the presentation of web privacy policies, making them transparent and machine-readable, much like "robots.txt" for search engines. Louise Van der Peet, Georgios Smaragdakis, Brien Colwell and I put together this proposal to help both consumers and researchers easily understand and act on their privacy rights. Check out the full draft and support our efforts to make the internet a safer space for personal data! Read the draft here: privacytxt.dev

I’m currently attending IETF 119 in Brisbane and I’m struck by the significant influence @Cloudflare has established in the standards domain. The decision to invest in producing impactful RFCs and peer-reviewed research papers (and successfully shipping the underlying tech!) stands out as one of the more astute long-term strategies the company has followed. While technical blog posts are engaging and signal that a company employs smart people—beneficial for startups and positively reinforcing for larger firms—the act of publishing groundbreaking research that leads the industry underscores the presence of professionals capable of shaping technology on a worldwide stage. This type of leadership is crucial for earning the trust of large enterprise clients and partners. Check out the list of publications from Cloudflare Research alone: research.cloudflare.com/publications/. Powerhouse results from a powerhouse company.
