now also available in English on SIDN.nl: New opportunity for #DANE for web -- RFC 9102 published, first implementations in progress https://www.sidn.nl/en/news-and-blogs/new-opportunity-for-dane-for-web "Publication of RFC 9102 opened the way for the complete chain of DNS(SEC) records required for DANE validation to be included in the TLS exchange itself. Consequently, when setting up a secure connection (e.g. HTTPS), no extra DNS queries are required in order to check the authenticity of the presented TLS server certificate using DANE."
new in my #Tindie shop: Light detector, 5V, based on photodiode and opamp -- 5V daylight intensity sensor, for direct connection to AD converter of microcontroller https://www.tindie.com/products/offerman/light-detector-5v-based-on-photodiode-and-opamp/ "A modern alternative to the traditional voltage divider circuits based on photoresistors (i.e. LDR's containing cadmium). Photodiodes provide only a small current when light is falling onto the silicon, so they need an operational amplifier before the output can be delivered to an AD converter for readout."
op SIDN.nl: Nieuwe kans voor DANE voor het web -- RFC 9102 gepubliceerd, eerste implementaties onderweg https://www.sidn.nl/nieuws-en-blogs/nieuwe-kans-voor-dane-voor-het-web "Met de publicatie van RFC 9102 is er nu een manier beschikbaar om de hele keten van DNS(SEC)-records nodig voor DANE-validatie in de TLS-uitwisseling zelf (in-band) op te nemen. Op die manier hoef je bij het opzetten van een beveiligde verbinding geen extra DNS-queries meer te doen als je het aangeboden TLS-servercertificaat middels DANE op echtheid wilt controleren."
🧐EU study shows #EuropeanPublicServices need to nurture and sustain individual developers and inadequately funded, vulnerable, small, #opensource maintenance projects.

EC report published 'Development of a Funding Mechanism for Sustaining Open Source Software for European Public Services' https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/fosseps/news/funding-sustainability -- European public services should focus not only on innovative new projects, but also on funding maintenance of vulnerable small open source projects they rely on. Most existing funding is for new projects favouring break-through and scientific innovation. Hardly anything is awarded for long-term maintenance projects. #FOSS

Workstation crashed due to a power blackout today. Lasted a few hours before the power was back up. Left me with two downgraded #RAID arrays due to a range of problematic disk sectors. Had to do some #smartctl and #hdparm magic to get everything in order again. Arrays currently syncing, all running smoothly now. Despite this, #Linux still rules! :]

entertaining read: Red Notice; A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice, by Bill Browder -- the highly romanticized and self-glorifying story of a foreign investor in Russia, whose skirmishes with the Russian government lead to the Magnitsky Act

now also available in English: Privacy aspects of IPv6 -- Privacy Extensions for SLAAC strongly recommended https://www.sidn.nl/en/news-and-blogs/privacy-aspects-of-ipv6 "Although scanning the whole of the vast IPv6 address space is practically impossible, clever ways of mapping active systems have been devised, making it possible to identify and track end users at the address level."
op SIDN.nl: Privacy-aspecten van #IPv6 -- Gebruik de Privacy Extensions voor SLAAC https://www.sidn.nl/nieuws-en-blogs/privacy-aspecten-van-ipv6 "Hoewel het doorlopen van die astronomisch grote IPv6-adresruimte in zijn geheel onmogelijk is, blijken er weldegelijk slimme manieren te bestaan om actieve systemen in kaart te brengen en eindgebruikers op adresniveau te identificeren en te volgen." #privacy
