so earlier today a small part of my uni's website was down for a few minutes

i wanted to see if my browser was just acting up or if it was really down, so i switched to the network tab in the devtools, copied the request as curl, added -v and saw that the timeout was indeed not my browser's fault.

this was six hours ago, but i still had the terminal open until now. it caught my eye because i read "AppleWebKit" in my terminal somewhere. it was this:

[more curl stuff here]
-H 'sec-fetch-user: ?1' \
-H 'upgrade-insecure-requests: 1' \
-H 'user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36' \
-v

and i wonder why i did not think about this earlier in my years of being a web developer: why the fuck is the user agent that???

so i googled it, and stumbled upon "History of the browser user-agent string" on the WebAIM blog (it's also attached under the cut for the reader's convenience). and, god, that's just sad. and the most web thing i have ever read. truly no platform ever was as bad as the web

there's comfort in knowing that unlike with phones, it's unlikely anyone's listening in on you through your pc's mic if only because windows would probably feed them silence from some nonexistent audio device

CIA spooks spying on a Linux user and cursing Lennart Poettering as they try in vain to get Pulseaudio to cooperate instead of just feeding them nothing from some automatically created source that doesn't connect to any device
