HTTPS-only for Cloudflare APIs: shutting the door on cleartext traffic

We are closing the cleartext HTTP ports entirely for Cloudflare API traffic. This prevents the risk of clients unintentionally leaking their secret API keys in cleartext during the initial request, before we can reject the connection at the server si…

Major web services go dark in Russia amid reported Cloudflare block

Website outages were observed across Russia this week, with regulators attributing them to issues with foreign servers. Observers said the problems might be tied to Russian government moves to block Cloudflare services.

After #community #protest: #Firefox #update on their "Terms of Use"

Our intent was just to be as clear as possible about how we make Firefox work, but in doing so we also created some #confusion and #concern. With that in mind, we’re updating the language to more clearly reflect the limited scope of how #Mozilla interacts with #user #data.

An update on our Terms of Use

We’ve been listening to some of our community’s concerns with parts of the TOU, specifically about licensing. Our intent was just to be as clear as possible about how we make Firefox work, but in doing so we also created some confusion and concern.

I wrote up my thoughts on the bigger picture topic of Mozilla, Gecko, and what web browser dev probably ends up looking like.. or not. From the perspective of someone who stewarded Firefox for a couple years.

I’m pretty sure nobody comments on blogs and I'm really curious what people have to contribute to the discussion so I’ll post the paragraphs below.

Gecko. Mozilla. Thoughts.

Lots of talk on the socials re: Mozilla and Firefox/Gecko triggered by the recent ToS changes. Thought I'd write up some thoughts on the bigger picture "what to do about gecko" stuff.

I wonder what PHP would win if the codebase was rewritten entirely in Rust.

My bet? Given the Rust ecosystem, we would be months away of truly async, green threads, non blocking IO, and a complete performant web server implementation.

#Unboxing the #OpenWrtOne #Router with open #Software and open #Hardware and with the coolest #features at the moment!

The only instructions you receive are printed directly on the packaging. A great extension option is the #MikroBus: mikroe.com/mikrobus - It has both a #serial and an #I2C bus via which #IoT sensors can be connected.
There is also the option of connecting an #SSD, which I used immediately. I would also like to use the router as a #weather #monitoring station via appropriate sensors and then save the data on the SSD and have it evaluated and displayed via a #web #server.
The accessories supplied include a power supply unit, antennas, some screws and jumpers as well as a screwdriver. However, the screws on the case were so tight that I needed a better tool to open it.

I plan to provide my neighborhood with free #wifi via the router. I also want to run some web applications there and make them publicly accessible on the #Internet. So stay tuned and I will tell you here about the #configuration, #installation and results ...

Conoce de un pantallazo rápido cómo y por qué nace Internet y la web, qué es lo que corre por su ADN y qué ha pasado para encontrarnos hoy en un situación de "enmierdificación" como diría Cory Doctorow.
¿Qué tipo de red se ajustará mejor a una necesidad de sostenibilidad, resiliencia y coherencia comunicativa? ¿Es Bluesky una apuesta posible para ello? ¿Qué es el Fediverso y por qué plantea un reto al poder centralizado?
