Oct 15, 2026, 1:10 AM@hipsterelectron yes but as implemented on a static site with no "endpoints" in sight i find it is less shit- d@nny disc@hipsterelectron@circumstances.runOct 15, 2026, 1:16 AM
@wyatt the problem is less HTTP and more TLS as well as IP itself. this can be solved with overlay networks relatively easily. i don't really think HTTP is that great of an application protocol to serve anything but HTML which i have no alternative to at the moment

@wyatt it's just annoying that it's used for resources that have nothing to do with hypertext because that means i have to deal with its bullshit
- Oct 15, 2026, 1:22 AM@hipsterelectron agree
i almost want ftp back for reasons like that
i definitely am mad browsers dropped ftp support several years ago - d@nny disc@hipsterelectron@circumstances.runOct 15, 2026, 1:23 AM

@wyatt gnu stuff is still named that way i wonder if they also still support ftp
- Oct 15, 2026, 1:24 AM@hipsterelectron (ftp had annoying baggage sometimes. but i still like it)
