all my handwritten sockets servers are fine because I use HTTP/1.1

I have 1 apache acting as a proxy for vhosts and

> a2dismod http2

gives me

> Module http2 already disabled

I don’t want to tempt fate (and hackers ) but I have dodged lots of major vulns this year with my strategy of writing code by hand instead of pip installing everything

only vuln I was exposed to was copy.fail, but that was a defense in depth weakness, and I was vulnerable to the kvm weakness if there was a malicious tenant in my host’s hypervisor, but that’s not fair I’m poor so I don’t have a dedi.

maybe the tcp vuln was the most exposed I’ve been but that was a very short window that got auto upgraded by apt with a high attack complexity

maybe I can write about how I survived 2026 without getting a supply chain vuln and get some work or students on new years? I feel that’ll be a pretty big accolade.

isn't http/1.1 request smuggling a known risk in exactly the scenario you're using it in?
