@PicturesFoIder And the granny took in into her slides and flew to heavenly father 🤣

Bravery or stupidity? 😳

@GrapheneOS @ReliableBrain @letsencrypt To be fair, CRLs don’t have quite the same privacy issue as client-initiated OCSP checks, fetching a CRL doesn’t expose to the CA the *specific* domain you’re visiting.

@ReliableBrain @letsencrypt CRLs are a list of revoked certificates. Each certificate points at a CRL URL where it will be listed if it's revoked. Clients downloading these would have the same reliability and privacy issues as non-stapled OCSP with additional performance issues. That's not going to happen.

We're very disappointed @letsencrypt is ending support for proper revocation checks via OCSP Must-Staple which is the only efficient, private and secure method not depending on a browser-specific service: letsencrypt.org/2024/12/05/end… No replacement is being offered for the feature.

@GergelyOrosz "Much less resource intensive than websockets", is it? For client, server or both? Both WSS/SSE require a TCP/TLS session between the browser and the server, and send a series of messages with some amount of framing over that socket.. I’d expect their resource needs to be similar

A web technology that feels very under-utilized: server-side events for pushing data from the server to the browser. Much less resource intensive than websockets. And yet, many devs reach for websockets when they do not need two-way streaming!

@_pedunculate @patio11 More than former, and that housing prices have increased dramatically more quickly in certain major cities than in the median city.

@patio11 I hadn't realised there was such an allowance in the US. Is that catching people because the allowance hasn't risen in line with housing prices or because it was set too low to start with?

Pace the eternal buy-versus-rent decisionmaking, a category of home ownership joys that few people realize (and a service few renters realize they're paying for) is that somebody has to blow half a Sunday on recordkeeping regarding a maintenance project.

@apenwarr Understandably hard because Wireguard uses non-compliant crypto :/, but it means I can’t use you at work.

@apenwarr FedRAMP compliance!

Ok, go. Wrong answers only

it's true

Only a year after moving, got the tech bookshelf unpacked

First shot with the home espresso machine.

@simonsarris Welcome to the top of the rabbit hole! Time to start watching some James Hoffman videos on YouTube, e.g. youtu.be/aTFsBqhpLes?si…

No idea how to pull espresso but I'm on my 4th and losing composure

Bought this for my work's office and I am hopped out of my mind now

@dieworkwear How do you discover these details (yarn type, washing level, etc.) for a particular product? e.g. for this Lands End sweater I received as a gift, all I know from the listing is that the wool is Mongolian: landsend.com/products/mens-…

Additionally, cheap cashmere just worsens the current environmental problems. If you care to know, my favorite cashmere knits are from William Lockie, particularly the four-plys. (I find that sweaters made from one-ply, while easier to layer, stretch out more easily). /end

HOW TO BUY A GOOD CASHMERE SWEATER 🧵 I want to address this comment left by someone in response to my Brick Watch Company tweet. It also gets into something I've been wanting to talk about: how to buy a good cashmere sweater.

@SharpeMartha @leahprime Indeed! You can just sign up over at radiopaper.com

@leahprime Pretty sure you don't need an official invite, so here's an unofficial one:

It's also hard to have real conversations on Twitter because of the character limit. I can hardly finish a thought before having to hit the + button! It's great for sharing a single insight or comment, but an actual conversation is much more involved

First visit to Chicago! Looking forward to #EnvoyCon tomorrow and #KubeCon Tue-Thu. colocatedeventsna2023.sched.com/davidclaridge

@GergelyOrosz #1: Mixpanel, Posse (EOL startup), Stripe product teams #2: Snowflake, Google, Stripe infra teams

Two companies: #1: new joiners ship to prod by the end of day 2; 90% of the time #2 new joiners get access to most systems by end of week 1, ship to prod by end of month ~50% of the time When you ask "will a new hire speed up the project", #1 and #2 answer very differently...

@AudreyPollnow Joss Ackland’s reading of The Screwtape Letters is great.

Looking for audiobook recommendations. Weird is fine. Fiction, non-fiction, etc.

@greg16676935420 Growing up in Australia we called them "ice blocks".

Trying to settle a debate with a friend What are these called?

This mac n’ cheese from @Wood_Shop_BBQ at @GeorgetownBeer’s 20th anniversary party may be the best I’ve ever had!
