… if you’re using Linux, and are interested enough, you’ll have quite the journey ahead. The latest “Aha!” moment for me was when I read a post on Planet Debian from Samuel Henrique titled “I use curl with ECH btw (in Debian)“. I hadn’t heard about ECH before, so that was great in itself. Turns out that this TLS Encrypted Client Hello routine took about 7 years and some 10-15k lines of code to be written – but it’s kind of important, so thanks to Stephen Farrell from Dublin for his patience and all of his work! Hear him talk about it on last years’ OpenSSL conference on the tube if you like.
And about Samuel Henrique, a Debian Developer: there’s more stuff to like on his site, for instance his also very interesting post called “Debian 13: My list of exciting new features“. So in case you’re interested in that, it’s a nice read as well.
Also on Planet Debian, and interesting as well:
“The Death of Twitter“, by Russell Coker, or
“systemd has not implemented age verification“, by Marco D’Itri
As always, thanks for reading.
