🚀 Ah, the thrilling saga of "pipelining" where text #protocols become the divas of the network world, demanding more attention than a cat at 3 AM. 👀 Who knew that CRLF and JSON could rival the #drama of a soap opera? #HTTP 1.1 is apparently the unreliable friend who ghosted #pipelining, while SMTP's support is as stable as a Jenga tower during an earthquake. 🤦‍♂️

Hey, remember when I said that #HTTP2's spec doesn't require TLS for it to be used, but de-facto it is necessary anyway because mainstream browsers like #Firefox and #Chrome will not support #HTTP/2 without #HTTPS?

Well I just realized now that thanks to #Mozilla and #Google's arbitrary limitations, they've actually made browsing the web with #I2P, #Tor (via onion/hidden services), and #Yggdrassil slower than it should be! The latency in Tor is so damn high that you essentially have to sacrifice speed if you're going to use an onion service that doesn't have an HTTPS certificate (which is unnecessary in the #encryption front because your connection to the onion is already encrypted!).

And I'm not even alone in this thought, look at this comment in bug 1418832 which never got a response from Mozilla.

Basically if you're a Tor hidden service operator, Firefox's devs are telling you to chalk up that $30 TLS certificate from harica.gr for the HTTP/2, and if you're operating a website over I2P or Yggdrasil, well "fuck your #privacy, get stuck in HTTP/1.1 lol"

I normally dunk on HTTP/2 (and personally I'm not even a fan of Tor) but this stupid decision by Mozilla as well as the equally stupid decision to drop HTTP/1.1 #pipelining means downstream (which Tor Browser is) will have to deal with this bullshit speed bump. HTTP/2's #multiplexing would've helped greatly in these average high latency situations!

This is why you never let politician-wannabes control your development

It's so funny how I can easily disprove the http://httpvshttps.com webpage by simply using #PaleMoon, since it has #HTTP/1.1 #pipelining enabled by default. ​:koakuma_giggle:​ Some might also be surprised by how a 1.9s result with cleartext HTTP/1.1 in private browsing mode is even possible when it usually takes like 14 seconds. Well that's because the #web #browser you used probably never supported or enabled (cough cough #Mozilla bug 264354, such a shame because #Firefox's HTTP pipelining implementation is actually one of the best of all browsers, thankfully it lives on in Pale Moon) pipelining by default!

"Significantly Faster" my ass #HTTP2 simp ​:kyou:​
