Maybe with some fixed prefix though.

I wonder if the initiating app in BIP 21-replacement should be able to specify that string? Probably…

AFAIR QUIC has the same number of round trips as normal TLS if you set the TCP options right. Basically it shaves off RTs because it begins the TLS handshake in the SYN. You can do that with TCP, too, doubly so if you aren’t using a TLS library that sets socket options for you. The claim in your diagram that you need 0 full RTs to do QUIC setup is nonsense, that’s just if you’ve spoken to the server before and it has cached keys, but the 0 RTT TLS stuff isn’t being implemented in generic HTTP stacks because of replay issues.

I’m incredibly, incredibly skeptical that with the amount of data we’re talking about you can even measure the difference in performance on a LAN, let alone the internet.

TLS is a really bad protocol if your doing something greenfield. Please don’t ever use it unless you’re stuck in the web browser world.

I mean it won’t work in a browser anyway? Noise definitely the way to go if you’re building something without compat, and this won’t get compat anyway

Modern btrfs is fine (more likely to catch a hardware error than lose your data). It was bad like a decade ago but…

Honestly I always take that as my watch insulting my fitness…. And usually it’s right 😭

A short-term PR hit trying to force the UN to leave may or may not be worse for PR than the reports of actions in the field over the following months. One is very short-term and the other is very much not.

But really I guess that’s where we just agree to disagree on priors. Sadly, given the evidence of the last six months, I’m not very confident that the IDF is as conservative on decisions of proportionality or care as they were a decade (or two) ago. All evidence points to even close allies having very serious (non-public) questions on proportionality on a regular basis, and given the civilian leadership (who decide military leadership) for the last decade(ish) I don’t find that particularly surprising :(.

I agree that would be great! But sadly the last decade or so of Bitcoin testnet has demonstrated that people mostly aren’t willing to put on the effort required to do so (which is very substantial!).

Ah, I think the disagreement is more on fundamental analysis of the conflict. I’m not suggesting any kind of ethics analysis, but rather that PR is a *major* component in this war, in a way that it isn’t in most other conflicts. Again, a key goal of organizations which seek to destroy Israel is to reduce their standing in the western world, making it less likely they receive lethal aid in the coming decades (and giving these organizations a bigger fighting chance in a decade). This makes negative PR more than just something that looks bad and much more a key part of this fight, strengthening a proportionality argument for shooting towards UN positions (especially when trying to avoid UN personnel). The IDF absolutely understands this, or at least its leadership does, and academic military analysis has given this some treatment.

This is also why I maintain that Israel has been resoundingly losing its war with Hamas since day one, but that’s a very different discussion.

Wait I understood from your above comment that you were looking for a testnet on which you can test your software with your partners. Where are you currently testing software with “competitors”?

In general it seems testnet fragmented a while ago. All the testing I’ve seen done for a year or so has all been on mutinynet (or more often mainnet lol) 🤷‍♂️.

If you’re running a bunch of testing infra and mostly working with partners, I’d absolutely recommend your own signet!

Ugh, threading sucks. But, sure priors or bias whatever. My point is even given the history of that border and the current statements from the IDF, I don’t see why you take one possible reason as so much more likely that the other here.

The allegation last time wasn’t that they were specifically “sharing with Hezbollah”, but rather that they were putting it on their website, doing so indirectly. Same net outcome, of course, but I don’t see it on their website today.

You’re, again, assuming that Unfil is interacting directly with Hezbollah to assist them, which is a pretty major assumption. Given there are two perfectly reasonable assumptions here - that or that the IDF does not wish the UN to monitor their actions to prevent them from generating further war reports (given the “anti-Israel bias” the IDF has explicitly alleged the UN has), and given we have no other information or claims from the IDF, I’m still at a total loss for why you’re taking one assumption as almost certain and the other as almost impossible.

I mean that’s literally Unfil’s mandate - to watch what happens so they can encourage both sides to reduce tensions and tell the UN who’s job is to do the same?

Cool! I’m admittedly pretty surprised by that, but…cool! Most of the joint-testing I’ve seen done is on various signets (mutinynet is pretty common, signet og too, etc), and having multiple testnets that different groups use seems fine? The whole point of testnets is that they don’t have value, though…

Yea, that’s an entirely plausible argument for why they’re targeting the UN (but you’d think they’d ask them to stop, assuming they are, first). But you spent ten posts here arguing that “probably they’re sheltering Hezbollah” without any evidence and now jump to another argument because the first didn’t fit the facts.

I’d really strongly recommend you check your biases here.

That is not the only instance they’re talking about. That’s just the new one from today. Here’s three specific instances the UN is objecting to, all from the Guardian article from yesterday.

That doesn’t mean you’re doing it with a broader community, though? There’s basically zero liquidity in testnet3 lightning (or where there is it’s entirely one-sided). Every time I’ve tried to use it I’ve had to open a direct channel and kinda the only destination is yalls anyway?
