    Looks like Mozilla is currently working on implementing `sendmmsg` and `recvmmsg` use in neqo (Mozilla's QUIC implementation) [1]. [1] https://github.com/mozilla/neqo/issues/1693

    Oh, indeed, that's quite surprising. A TLSv1.3 Client Hello always contains the supported_versions extension, which should allow wireshark to label it correctly, regardless of whet…

    Certainly weird that wireshark shows TLSv1 while curl shows TLSv1.3. That shouldn't happen unless something interfered with the Client Hello. (or the wireshark version is outdated)…

    linux-firmware does not carry any microcode update for Renoir (yet). Or what do you mean by "TFA"? The fixed Renoir microcode should have revision >= 0x0860010b as per the kernel: …

    That's why there's OCSP stapling and OCSP must staple. Ever seen an nginx server fail HTTPS connection exactly once after rotating the certificate? That's nginx lazily fetching the…

    It even seems to break inline links, like in the "split-horizon" section: > System administrators can find relevant documentation here. I'm pretty sure "here" should be a link, but…

    fd -e py Also neatly bypasses the glob issue.

    You could try inputting your name as [Latin Small Letter E][Combining Acute Accent]: e◌́ => é Which should keep the `e` intact, while the combining acute accent (0xCC 0x81) may "o…

    As long as `chrome://global/content/config.xul` still exists, you can use it. I certainly do, since the new interface is horrible and Mozilla constantly dismisses the obvious usabi…

    Sadly it doesn't work in Firefox after setting `privacy.resistFingerprinting` and Mozilla refuses to allow an override :(

    Possibly also the IPv6 ULAs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address Not sure if those can be expressed in uMatrix as a prefix rule.

    `privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxing` is currently a separate setting since it's still rough around the edges. Not sure if it works on Release, I have it set on Nightly.

    It seems Mozilla is in the process[0] of moving the signature scheme to COSE, which allows timestamping[1]. A code comment[2] says that the current package format doesn't allow it.…
