“While the researchers frame their discovery as a backdoor, the organization responsible for maintaining the standard pushes back against that specific term, and says the standard was designed for export controls which determine the strength of encryption. The end result, however, are radios with traffic that can be decrypted using consumer hardware like an ordinary laptop in under a minute.”

Social age verification requirements in the US are going to become a problem in the #fediverse, particularly for larger instances.
It is the mainreason we shut down new signups on Newsie last month.
Now the team at https://HoneytreeTech.com is starting work on a module that uses https://stripe.com/identity to handle age and ID verifications.
The challenge is it's not free ($1.50 per validation).
So maybe this is the start of a super-premium instance offering.
Maybe not a bad thing.

look forward too more of the same dynamic happening with other basic staple crops as climate change accelerates. if the conveyor currents fail before we reverse the trends, then I fear for our species.
it is hard to make something big which has great momentum change course, and at some tipping point(s) it becomes impossibly hard to avert a new & probably multi-millennial ice age.

Taking CoQ10 supplements can bring levels back to normal. Plus, studies show that CoQ10 may reduce the muscle pain associated with statin treatment."

hmmm... so, is this so one can have a testing program in main.rs to use the library you are working through in lib.rs? figuring out how this interacts with cargo should be interesting
