now http/2 works again. And the point was not that cf might have had a problem, the point is that we should not deliberately destroy simple, working protocols

Dass ich damit auch die Unterstuetzung fuer Journalist:innen und andere Mitarbeitende entziehe, bedauere ich. Ich wuerde mir sehr eine Neugruendung eines guten IT Verlags mit klarem Ethikkodex wuenschen.

@slink oh yes, we have tools for that. First however I'd point you to my thread about memory errors because those are even more common when analyzing crashes: https://fosstodon.org/@gabrielesvelto/112407741329145666

numerous times, i had asked myself if a reported crash could be caused by a hardware bug, and so far i would think i never saw a real case - possibly due to the software i work on running in more controlled environments.
but i would […]
