Does anyone happen to know what values I'd put in an `upgrade` HTTP response header when sending an HTTP 426 to tell a client that it needs to upgrade to TLS 1.2 or 1.3?

The HTTP spec says "The server *MUST* send an Upgrade header"
https://httpwg.org/specs/rfc9110.html#status.426

...but I can't find any examples. The `upgrade` spec says the format of the value is `protocol-name ["/" protocol-version]` - so presumably e.g. `TLS/1.3`?
https://httpwg.org/specs/rfc9110.html#field.upgrade

It won't work for old clients obv but...trying to be correct.

Hi Fediverse, I am looking for a job for someone fleeing from the USA to germany.
The person is versed in front- and backend developement, focused on vanilla js and angular, but willing to do anything in that area. Learning German atm, understanding German pretty good already.
Area Karlsruhe would be preferred.
Someone got anything?

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Mastodon can do it.

Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments

Freelancers/contractors: get in the comments

Everyone else: boosts appreciated.

The market is *dead* for freelancers and a big part of that (in my opinion) is fragmentation. Let's get that network effect *back*.

@corvid amazing! 👏😄
I got 2 Chickens of Executive Function today and I used neither of them wisely. 😅
I hope I draw them again tomorrow.

made a new version of the Chicken of Executive Function! this time, the ability is an ETB and it has 'miracle {0}' so it's free but you can only cast it using miracle 😋. Felt like a fun gimmick to add and also if we think of it showing up on your timeline as drawing, it all kinda works!

A Magic the Gathering card titled "Chicken of Executive Function". It is a "Legendary Creature - Bird" and has no mana cost, which means it cannot be casted normally. It has the ability "Miracle {0}" with rules helper text "You may cast this card for free when you draw it if it's the first card you drew this turn". IT also has the ability "Dispel Malaise - When this creature enters, you are granted executive function for one turn". The flavor text reads "You have been visited by the chicken of executive function. Stop scrolling and do one things you've been putting off." The card art is of a red junglefowl, the wild ancestor of the chicken (it's very pretty) and the artist credit is to Jason Thompson. The card is a reference and update to a previous meme card of the same name.

You’re all VERY welcome :neofox_shy:

[Edit: Good grief, users of Mastodon. This is clearly a shitpost. It is clearly not a real card. It is clearly not a chicken. If you are getting riled up by this and/or feel the need to inform me of its inaccuracies in a condescending tone, then I’m going to have to kindly ask you to log off, embrace some nature, and maybe look up at the stars for a bit, ye?]

An MTG card named "Chicken Of Executive Function," and it includes an ability called “Dispel Malaise” to grant executive function for one turn.

Ich möchte irgendwas mit kleinen, knuffigen Figuren machen.. So Kraken oder Aliens oder so in verschiedenen Berufen / Stereotypen.. Anbei meine Skizzen..

Ignoriert einfach den krakeligen Tintenfisch in der Mitte und das Blumenmonster.. Erstes Brainstorming *hust*

it's always annoyed me how some people talk about hard stuff. like... i remember when i was first learning python all the resources i found were like "Write ADVANCED Python using CLASSES. This Complex Construct for managing your programs.". And for the longest time I put off learning about them, because oh nooo big scary thing. And like when I finally read the godforsaken car example I was so disappointed. Like I thought I was misunderstanding it. It can't just be some variables and functions tied together, can it? Yes it can ! That's basically all it is. And you give it a name so the types can yell at you if they want to.

Same with polymorphism. po-ly-morph-ism. Big scary word. "Oh you don't know what polymorphism is? They should cover that soon in your courses haha." It's calling a method. youre calling a method. maybe it's because python is my first&favourite language but youre just calling a method.

whenever anything is like "rahh this is hard and complex" i either click off and go look for a different article, or skip a paragraph and hope it gets better. /I/ want to decide if it sucks :neocat_scream::neocat_scream:

i think usually i try to frame things like. "hey this is 👉👉my👈👈 experience with this thing, and maybe it sucked for me, but we can get through it 👍👍👍👍👍"

I cannot stop thinking about how a century of speculative fiction about catastrophic rogue AI meltdown became a self-fulfilling prophecy by building an AI that functions by running a probabilistic lookup on a table of all fiction humans have ever written to determine what the average AI would do in the current situation

My Twitter account had 17000 followers. I never joined bluesky. I still have an insta account but it’s mostly in case my crush concludes after all this time that I’m The One (half-joking). My participation here on mastodon is kinda haphazard, not focused, but it’s fun because I can just share what’s interesting to me and people can dig it or not. And it seems like almost everyone is cool and friendly. Lots of creative and smart and funny folks on here with no pressure.
