specifically because of IPv6's 1426 bytes MSS w/ non-jumbo frames not being enough for TLS 1.3 resumption with keyshare and still use TFO (RFC7413) when QUIC is not available.

gemini 2.0 flash gets it right with an almost excellent explainer, sometimes*.

gemini 1.5 spits out a python code and asks you to run it. fine i guess, given it leads to the correct answer but its attempt to explain the code rather than concept is...meh.

do you need this to split work / personal browsing on the same machine, or there's more enlightenment to segregated profiles that i'm oblivious to?

what you got suggested most, containers, is mostly for isolating cookie jars AFAIK, but none of the personalization like prefs and extensions.

i figured this was a facepalm worthy PEBKAC.
so, ignore it :)

pane drag and drop working under wayland. i'm aware it's electron's fault and it just works™ on macos, but i spend the highest time in front of obsidian on a linux machine.

oh fuck. it's great.
my X570-D4U2L2T boards will likely never see such an upgrade. still, i'm thankful that i don't need to deal with a KVM switch.

looks like an asrock rack board. best news, it comes with a BMC (likely AST2500) that doesn't suck too much. you can just stash in somewhere and get keyboard-video access and remote power cycle access to it over the web or IPMI interface. would be extra nice is asrock supported openbmc.

goes without saying, this is my personal recollection. not speaking on behalf of my employer. furthermore my memory explicitly refuses to store execs going on podcast bro interviews and making (i guess official?) statements

you might be recalling the blog post from last year around this time, specifically talking about messenger defaulting to e2ee (about.fb.com/news/2023/12...). i don't think we made a blog post, or put a forward looking statement into a paper or conference slide deck, in the way you remember.

they host their own mbox and relay instances, instead of using mw's de facto ones. i wrote github.com/bdd/.dotfile... script to send to/receive from winden users with wormhole(-rs) implementations. if you use a gui app or mobile app you can just point to those servers directly as well.
