I'm very often too close to it to really feel the full appreciation, but cryptography can really be so cool. It's amazing that we have this set of tools, and we're still building more.

• pencil drawing of a strange serpent like creature with flippers. The head is facing left and it is gliding from the top right of the page to the middle of the left. It has two visible eyes (four in total as this is a side profile) and a knobbly bony head and a huge mouth with big teeth which is open and you can see its tongue inside. Around its head it has a few protrudent growths that frame its head and throat. Its skin is rough and textured. (remote)

Not sure when exactly it happened, but frunk (https://github.com/lloydmeta/frunk) crossed over 1k stars🍾 🎊

It's an odd lib with an esoteric type-driven implementation of struct mapping.. in fact, someone once told me that it's the sort of thing that will scare people away from #rust (fair enough 😔), so I'm quite happy that some subset of ppl seem to at least find it interesting, useful perhaps.

Mastodon bumps up the active user count when a user logs on, including right after sign up. I’m not surprised the monthly active user number is coming down a bit, there’s no service out there that has 100% retention on new sign ups.

NES Assets Workshop is really good if you just want to display a static image on a NES as quickly as possible.

One of the export options takes your image and generates a single-purpose rom that will display it when run
