I'm excited to share a project that I've been working on: a brand-new version of @Mozilla's SSL Configuration Generator:
ssl-config.mozilla.org/
Configuring TLS is perhaps the most complicated and error-prone of all IT tasks, and this tries to make it as easy as possible.

A similar question about #golang from @katie_hockman got me curious, so here is a #popquiz about #python:
what does this program output? no cheating and no spoilers.

Me: Thank gosh for internet video future. Cable television is downright unwatchable with all these commercial breaks.

When stuff like this shows up at the top of Google results, I canβt help but wonder if other people recognize how much of the internet is completely fake?

As someone who went into tech at 16, I foolishly thought that the lack of diversity would improve over time. It hasnβt.
It took until I was 39 to be on a security team with more than one other woman.
Meanwhile, diversity initiatives have only succeeded at generating hostility.
First, what doesnβt work: shallow, showy diversity efforts (even if they are well-intentioned) arenβt just ineffective, they actively cause harm.
Spend time thinking through your strategy & making sure you can back it up 2/

With the holidays around the corner, GoDaddy employees received an email last week offering some welcome financial relief: a $650 holiday bonus.
Two days later, they received another email from GoDaddy:

Anyone have any clue why Cloudflare and Google use Cache-Control "no-store, no-cache, must-invalidate" with "max-age=0" sometimes or why Github uses "max-age=0, private, must-revalidate" instead of just "no-store"?
I can't find a single piece of documentation that explains why.

It's somehow comforting that even @Cloudflare is sending weird Cache-Control headers.
I think it's really great that @MozDevNet says that "no-store" alone should disable all caching, and yet not a single person seems to use this Cache-Control pattern in the real world.
