If you have to re-auth every week, there is little more frustrating that blocking the process waiting for an email so I can click a button, over and over and over...

In case you want to understand your TLS clients in depth from Node.js, there's a new v2 release of read-tls-client-hello now live: https://github.com/httptoolkit/read-tls-client-hello

Also now supported on https://testserver.host at https://testserver.host/tls/client-hello, so you can test & debug clients themselves directly.

I've been playing around with agent-powered HTTP debugging -there's a lot of potential here... Even just with minimal data, Claude gets a really good understanding of flows very quickly, amazing for exploring.

Continuing the epic battle to fix TLS fingerprinting in Node (@pimterry@toot.cafe), I opened two more PRs this week enabling cert compression in Node (https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/62217) and direct native access to OpenSSL for addons (https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/62254).

With that, it's basically there!

Wow, I sure am glad we have such diversity in the CSS world and that AIs consider all of the options fairly, instead of hypothetically being hyper focused on any specific library.

Everybody's favourite "save me from myself" git hook (https://github.com/pimterry/git-confirm) has the first new major feature in nearly 5 years: it'll now validate and catch unintended git pushes too 😀

Replying to

@foolip I've started using OpenVibe (https://openvibe.social/) - it lets you read and crosspost to both Mastadon & Bluesky in the same app, so you can just have both transparently.

I've been thinking about https://simonomi.dev/blog/color-code-your-bytes/.

Whipped up a quick prototype for HTTP Toolkit's hex view - what do you think? Interesting and more useful than monochrome, or just visually noisy?

See if you can guess what each file type is here - answers in the alt text 😀

Finally bit the bullet and bought more RAM! The rumours are true, the prices really are excruciating, more than 4x the price I paid for the other stick 18 months back 🥲

Do I know anybody at GitHub who can help me get HTTP Toolkit into the student pack?

I'm happy to do free accounts for students, I've filled out the form a couple of times - they never reply, but students keep endlessly emailing me to ask me if it's included.
