„Why, oh why, isn‘t there more QUIC use?“ ask people on the QUIC mailing list.

It‘s impossible to answer. Some people probably don‘t care. Some would use it if they could (thanks, OpenSSL, not). For some, they already hit their sweet spot. Some are already using it near 100% (Facebook, controlling servers and clients).

In the curl project, our goal to give you good options to use all protocols, with defaults merely for usability reasons.

You will then select what is best for you.

Sometimes we forget what a marvel 'git' really is. Just did

git show <commit-id>

and it pulled out a curl change from 16 years ago in the fraction of a second.

Hat off to its makers and maintainers!

If you have an S3 bucket and someone touches it - even when only getting a „403 Access Denied“ - it makes ding on your credit card.😬

I do not trust passkeys, because I seem no longer to be the one controlling the access.

Instead google or apple are.

Sure, they ask me for my face or thumb, but my brain is no longer a vital part of the process.

I can understand that companies might prefer that. The medium failure rate will be much better the more employees you have.

But for me as an individual the failure impact seems catastrophic, or at least unclear how to mitigate.

I have not heard about rich people replacing their tax consultants with AI.

Which should be easy for a chat AI to do, filling out some forms.

Wonder what is holding that back?🤔
