#QOTD : If you could redesign a fundamental internet protocol from scratch, which one would you choose and how would you improve it?
@mckinley Define "fundamental internet protocol"? Do you mean fundamental things that make the Internet work like IP, TCP, DNS, various routing protocols like BGP, OSPF, etc? Or things more like application protocols like IRC, HTTP, etc?

@mckinley I just got bitten by this again: I would make *passive mode* the default mode of FTP. 🥴

@mckinley Oh well in that case, I'd redesign the IRC protocol to be more like a combination of what Signal is today but with SMTP like capabilities. A bit like what we've been trying to do with Salty IM -- So-called "federated" instant messaging, with group support and fully e2e encrypted.
