if i succeed, i even have ideas on how to improve it, but of course i have to determine if they'll work at all..

Feeling this too, on a personal level, as work related to web dev becomes a smaller and smaller part of my daily life

Mastodon FeedHey, what's your favorite "walks into a bar" joke?
Please be aware that I have the most comprehensive collection of jokes of this formation, so you cannot stump me, that's not what I'm asking. I have 100% heard your joke before. I just want to hear your best formation. Bring it.

Maybe I'm generalising from my own experiences, but I feel like those costs would go way down if we simply weren't governed by cunts.

There are very intelligent and passionate engineers, cryptographers, and analysts that vehemently disagree with my conclusions about the Hybrid debate. That's okay!

Every one of these agencies has a mission and a budget. To your or I, that budget might seem like "damn near infinite", but they still have constraints.
NSA has two missions. Everyone knows about SIGINT because of Snowden, but they also have a competing mission called COMINT.
You can, very loosely, map these two terms to "red team" and "blue team".
If NSA knew a top secret way to break ML-KEM and were fairly confident that no other country has thought of it, there is no way in hell the SIGINT people could get the COMINT people to agree on a plan to migrate the entire federal fucking government to use ML-KEM. It doesn't line up with their self-interest.

Like, I am NOT a fan of the NSA, in the same way that I'm not a fan of Meta, Palantir, and the data broker industry.
Surveillance is bad for society. Privacy is good for society. Using technology to undermine privacy and surveil people is a bad thing, actually. And while the official story is roughly that NSA only spies on other governments, and not innocent civilians, we have no way of knowing if that's true. And there's no way in hell I'll ever trust that.
So, like most cryptographers, I'm squarely in the "Fuck the NSA" camp. Just like I'm in the "Fuck the FSB" camp. And every other nation state's equivalent agency is on that list too.
But spy agencies aren't fucking magical. They can't violate information theory, physics, or causality.
They also aren't omniscient about mathematics, logic, or software vulnerabilities. If they were, they wouldn't have competition. And they can't wave a magic wand and get enthusiastic cooperation from international forums of cryptology experts. That's ridiculous.

This TLS thread is full of some of the dumbest fucking opinions I've read in a technical discussion in years.
Mastodon FeedSupposedly @adamconover has an account here, which (per his most recent youtube vid) he checks "once a month or so". I have seen people talk *about* him on here (particularly given the recent Goose Discourse), but never @ him, so I assume relatively few folks (aside from his existing 14k followers) are aware that he's even here. Hi Adam! Here's hoping you get an amount of engagement that makes it worth your time…
Mastodon Feedoh right. I did eventually get home! but the jet lag is baaaaad

Yo fellow #Coloradoans
If you are setting off fireworks this week(end), you are a phenomenal asshole. This hot wind we’ve had for over a week now is a longer stretch than I can remember in 38 years in Colorado. It is drier than all get out. You drop one little firework cinder in the wrong place and you could kill people and burn down homes. It ain’t worth it.
Seriously though. The firefighters I work with have been on one fire after another all week. We don’t need more.

Y’all remember a ways back when I said 3 major #egg producers were scamming the country, and that #avianflu was not causing the price surges, it was price fixing, cause I can do basic addition?
And industry executives and analysts were saying that there was nothing to see except a supply shock of a disease killing lots of hens. As one industry executive put it at the time, it’s all just “supply disruption, ‘act of God’ type stuff.”
Yeah. It was a #conspiracy to fix prices. Emails between each other writing down the damn conspiracy. They made billions. Guess how much they have to pay in fines? If you guessed less than 1%, you’ve been paying attention to the #kakistocracy.
