classic heinz ketchup commercials from the square screen (70s-80s) featuring carly simon’s hit song.

a light and savory mid-afternoon snack. it’s ~ 3pm i think down there right now.

time to go down under, i guess.

that’s called tomato sauce.

on a side note… that whole (and very popular) ‘anticipation’ marketing campaign was a fucking scam? ketchup is legally required to be that way.

big ol’ bowl of reboot loops every morning, and then randomly during the day.

i first shopped on amazon way back when it was still mostly books. they were just starting to bring in other stuff.

their web site and ui has always been shit.

it’s just pointing at the speed you’re supposed to be going while you have your phone in your hands.

jeremiah?

no… he was a bullfrog.

my kids will take care of me when I’m older

with what?

…
step 4: cut hole in chair seat.
step 5: put empty ice cream bucket under chair.

effectiveness of ublockorigin, noscript, or other privacy/security related addons in your browser are unaffected by ech.

a pihole on your network is likewise unaffected, as it alters the dns requests so clients like your browser or tv can’t even resolve a ‘bad’ domain to an ip.

in the olden days, one ipv4 could host one domain securely. when a client connected to that ip, the connection was encrypted with the cert for that domain it was hosting.

the finite ipv4 space was gobbled up like crazy between this and every fucking thing on the planet wanting to be online.

an update to conserve ipv4 space allows one to host multiple domains (i.e. different sites on different domains, all using https) on one ip. to do this, the client needs tells the server which domain it’s looking for on the ip it’s connecting to–in the clear. once the server knows what cert to use, an encrypted connection can be set up.

‘encrypted client hello’ (ech) allows that initial request to be encrypted.

that’s pretty much all it does.

they’re trying harder to hide that now. as of last year, a sg-based holding company owns a uk-based company which owns the original developer, the software, and numerous regional branch offices.

kinda sucks, because it is a nice program. doesn’t have feature parity with microsoft office, but it’s got pretty much everything that most users need or would want. it’s also horribly slow on lower-spec hardware.

nah, mate. stay on the ground floor. it’s safer.

my beliefs prevent me from providing prayers.

depends on how hungry you are

drink alone would be $2.45

which is, itself, absolutely ridiculous.

tell that to amazon and every other retailer that jacks prices up the week or so before a ‘sale’

the prices probably won’t go back down in february, either.

last time i was on a plane i carried two bags and checked two more… all for the price of a single (heavily discounted, restricted advance purchase) coach ticket.

granted, that was in the late 1990s… but still, passengers are not the criminals, here.
