Vexingly, the offending client binary doesn't trigger these messages when run from its build directory, but only from install directory.

Maybe the runtime linker is using a different SSL library than it was originally linked against?

Do I even know what I am talking about?

How do one go around debugging misbehaving TLS connections?

I am looking at Mosquitto MQTT broker logs with statements like

"
Client connection from <some host> failed: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number
"

Another late summer night
Or early fall night, you nitpickers

The sound of cicadas is in the air
The smell of skunk is in the air

Typed holes
Untyped potholes

@anish Hi Anish!

@Are0h Let us be very clear: I am not defending white people.

There are also: woodpeckers, nuthatches, goldfinches, sparrows, mourning doves, squirrels, chipmunks, and their collective chatter. 😍

Working from home today. Stepped out into the backyard for a bit: there are butterflies, cardinals, robins, blue jays, and a hummingbird.

At work I sit in a stupid cubicle, without a window nearby. All four seasons look alike from there, although my desk plant somehow knows the changes. Also there would be people the phone, people discussing their work, and other unscheduled interruptions.

When you make that time machine, please find and stop the people that invented cube farms.
