@prologic@twtxt.net Maybe one day I’ll have the motivation to learn enough about JPEG, so I can understand the reason behind this. But not today. 😅

I run it in a Work profile on my GrapheneOS phone that I can switch off at any time

So this kind of works in stock Android, too. You have to reboot after switching back to the main profile, then the second profile won’t get loaded at all.

(I bet that this stops working in the future. It feels like the second profile doesn’t get loaded as a means to save CPU power. Once those smartphones get even more powerful, there’s no need to do that anymore …)

Then I realized there’s more than one version of “BMP”

🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That is super weird 🤔 I don’t get what’s going on either? 🤔

(I tend to post all that retrocomputing stuff on Mastodon lately. 🤔)

This morning’s task: Making the thumbnails in my blog compatible with IBM WebExplorer 1.0 on OS/2 Warp 3. 🤪

Before:

After:

https://movq.de/v/b7443c8873/b.jpg

And the fix was using -define jpeg:sampling-factor=2x1 when creating the thumbnails using ImageMagick.

I’m not really sure, though, what’s going on. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, me too. I didn’t even know it is an actual word.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha! 🤣 Teasing the original post makes me realize the true meaning of the word “confluence” 🤣

(This is probably the first time I’ve seen the word “confluence” being used outside of an Atlassian-related context. 🥴)

From my bed, I can hear a noise outside that is most likely a confluence of insects and distant freight trains but sounds errily like the static-laden cacophany of an old radio. I would go out to see what it is, but a small part of me is worried I might end up living out an episode of “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” if I do.

@xuu Which account, the “normal” Facebook one? 🤔

(Regarding Musk: He bought Twitter, ruined it and people mass-migrated to Mastodon. So let’s let him buy Meta and do the same thing! 🤪)

@xuu That’s a 404 🤣 – Also wouldn’t my ingress into my cluster (Traefik) have to support HTTP/3 (QUIC) too? 🤔 How does this even work in practice hmmm🤔

http3 https://github.com/quic-go/quic-go/http3

@xuu Wow! 😱 That’s nuts! How did they take over the account? Password leak and no multi factor auth?

@xuu Yeah I can see QUIC being a bit “snappier” especially on mobile networks.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de pleas no.

My wifes mom nearly got her account fully taken over by some hacker. They were able to get control and change password but I was able to get it recovered before they could get the phone number reset. They sent messages to all her contacts to send cash.

for http3 there is

from my understanding.. i don’t know how the multiplexing works when its being proxied through another server. I know go has support for it if you call it out directly. https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/net/http2

@xuu That’s my basic understanding too after doing the research.

Do you think yhere’d be any noticeable tangible benefits observed for self hosting? 🤔

HTTP/2 differs from 1.x by becoming a binary protocol, it also multiplexes multiple channels over the same connection and has the ability to prefetch related content to the browser to lower the perceived latency.

HTTP/3 moves the binary protocol from HTTP/2 over to QUIC which is based on UDP instead of TCP. This makes it better suited to mobile or unstable networks where handling of transmission errors can be handled at a higher level.

@prologic@twtxt.net Off the top of my head, I don’t know the differences between 1.1 and 2 but I know HTTP/3 is the one that uses QUIC.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net I use absolute paths for my links so I use a local Web server. I use darkhttpd, which is much simpler than Apache and has just enough features for me. I don’t think I’ve ever run into encoding issues because I make sure everything is UTF-8 like @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Cool! 👌

Love the program James has given me, I just edited some 40 webpages from junk viewing to nice, in a few minutes per edit, as shown in the two programs both running in Windows Mode.

On the left is directly to the Webserver files On the right is the webpage running over the www

Really nice and easy to navigate.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Oh yeah, this is cool. Keep doing that. :-)

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net I see. When I build static websites by hand, I usually do not need a real web server to serve it locally for testing purposes. I use relative links in all the documents and basically never resort to web server features, such as authentication, URL rewrites etc.

I consequently make use of the UTF-8 encoding and state that in each end every one of the HTML files. This keeps me from surprises later on. The web server in the end is configured to automatically include the Content-Type header with the right character encoding (super easy as it is always UTF-8) in the response, so this is very bullet-proof in my mind.

My editor simply does not auto-“correct” anything. This almost never works in my experience. Especially when dealing with computer languages.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t know. It was the first time I saw two kestrels this close. It was over within seconds, one of them took off, the other one ended up sitting on a branch of that tree. I could not tell which one, though.

@prologic@twtxt.net They’re broadcasting the ant war. Black against white ants. That’s what we called it back in school. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess I’m more “strict” than you are, probably. DNS queries tell me very little about which data is actually sent to those servers.

On the other hand, this is probably a reasonable argument: The vast majority of users have no idea what a DNS query even is (and they don’t care to begin with), so trying to hide something here is probably not worth the effort for Google/Apple. This would make filtering DNS requests more meaningful after all.

(But you can’t be sure and that is driving me nuts. I don’t want to deal with this in the first place.)

Does anyone know what the differences between HTTP/1.1 HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are? 🤔

It also helps a lot to a) ensure you turn off all things “iCloud” when you setup your device and b) teach your wife and children the benefits of doing the same and risks of not ensuring you do a) and c) ensuring that you keep doing a & b 🤣

Some of those *.apple.com DNS requests look legit and valid, like itunes (the App Store) and push notifications. Need to investigate what some of the other ones are. There are some Apple domains I already block as well that I’ve figured out over the years.

Last ~24 hours of DNS Requests:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah I’m pretty confident in what my iPhone and other Apple devices (Macbook, Mac Studio, iMacs, etc) do and don’t do in regards to talking back to Apple over the Internet. I mean, I do DNS filtering at my home network and most of the time I ensure my phone is connected to my VPN so that all DNS traverse through my own network and filters,

Obviously I can’t guarantee that it’s not making its own DNS requests and sneaking through my filters, I could go and check at my router level, but I’m fairly confident it probably isn’t.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, this whole thing of pre-installed third-party apps doesn’t exist on the iPhone. So that appears to be a bit better. You’re still sharing data with Apple and it’s next to impossible to tell what exactly the device does or does not do (just like with Android). If you can’t easily install your own OS, then it’s a lost cause.

Best you can do with any of these devices is disconnect them from the Internet.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de At least with an iPhone I’m not forced to use anything like Google, Facebook, or TikTok. None of those “things” are ever pre-installed, hidden or otherwise.
