🚀 Wow, they "implemented" #IPv8 in #Linux and BGP! 🌐 Because why stop at solving real problems when you can play make-believe with internet protocols? 🤡 Remember, if your tech isn't hyped up enough, just add a bigger number! 😂

The Register: Cloudflare teams up with big browsers to help websites tell welcome from unwelcome visitors. “Cloudflare, along with Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox, have committed to develop Private Access Control Tokens (PACTs), a way for websites to generate a digital token that asserts a given browsing session is being run by a human or bot with legitimate intent, as […]

🤔 Oh sure, defining a well-known #URI is obviously the pinnacle of human achievement, right after sliced bread and the invention of #sarcasm. But hey, if reading about #RFCs and internet protocols written in dry prose is your jam, who am I to judge? 🥱

Evert Pot: Burrow, a new Gopher client in the browser. “After building a gopher server and website, I couldn’t quite get enough of the Gopher bug, and decided to build a Gopher client in the browser. To be honest, this is actually more like a HTTP proxy for Gopher, but I might at some point turn this into a standalone client or even port it to some native platforms.” Those of y’all old enough […]

Spotted in my RSS feeds: human.json. “human.json is a lightweight protocol for humans to assert authorship of their site content and vouch for the humanity of others. It uses URL ownership as identity, and trust propagates through a crawlable web of vouches between sites.”

“A protocol does not need to encode governance explicitly in order to shape it; it shapes governance by determining which mechanisms are easy to build, which are hard, and which are effectively impossible within the constraints the architecture imposes.”

The company hasn’t exactly gone out of its way to call attention to this – like actually telling anybody anything.”

🎉 #Quad9 has finally decided to retire something nobody even knew existed! 🚀 By December 2025, HTTP/1.1 will be laid to rest, and Quad9 will bravely venture into the future of internet protocols...with the speed of a sloth on a lazy Sunday. 🤦♂️

#tracking code #Meta and Russian #Yandex embed into millions of websites is #deanonymizing #android users by abusing legitimate #Internetprotocols, causing #Chrome and other browsers to surreptitiously send #uniqueidentifiers to #nativeapps installed on their devices…#Google says it's investigating the abuse, which allows Meta and Yandex to convert ephemeral web identifiers into persistent mobile app user identities.

#InternetGovernance #InternetProtocols #HumanRights #Decentralization #AntiCensorship #DataProtection: "The Internet Research Task Force has published a Request For Comments document its authors hope will mean developers of comms protocols and architectures consider the human rights implications of their efforts.
RFC 9620 – titled "Guidelines for Human Rights Protocol and Architecture Considerations" – is merely informational. It's not a standard, nor is it on track to become one.
It "outlines a set of human rights protocol considerations for protocol developers" and "provides questions that engineers should ask themselves when developing or improving protocols if they want to understand how their decisions can potentially influence the exercise of human rights on the internet."
The document explains the need for its existence as follows:"

IPsec, or Internet Protocol Security, is a suite of protocols designed to secure internet communication by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. It has long been associated with IPv4, but its relationship with IPv6 often stirs confusion and misinformation.

Can't say enough good things about #DWebCamp from the @internetarchive 💖
It's such a magical experience and beautiful community of #DistributedWeb hackers, designers, and visionaries. Whether you're focused on #EdgeComputing, #InternetProtocols, #Governance, or just excited to learn, I HIGHLY recommend you check it out!

#ShowerThoughts we've pushed back against #SPOV (Single Points of Failure) in digital technology for years, and won:
* we defeated mainframes with personal computers and #InternetProtocols (TCP/IP)
* we defeated the #IBM monopoly on the PC with Windows-compatible generics
* we defeated #AOL and #Compuserve with the web protocols
* we defeated the #Windows monopoly with the #Linux kernel, which enabled OS diversity on user devices (#GNU, #Android, #Sailfish, and more)#x86 processors are next.
