For @asfaload.bsky.social I chose ed25519 signatures for its pervasive use. However, there's one place it is not common: the TPM in PCs... Why? 😫 #security #cryptography

Tried to activate #passkey for my Google account using #firefox and #bitwarden. It was a traumatic experience.... I don't even know how to explain how it took so much time for so little result... @arstechnica.com has more prose about passkeys: arstechnica.com/security/202...
Passkey technology is elegant, but it’s most definitely not usable security
Just in time for holiday tech-support sessions, here's what to know about passkeys.

accessing the /e/ os install page at e.foundation/installer/ with @mozilla.org 's Firefox on Android proposes proprietary browsers alternatives.... A welcome page explaining alternative installation procedures would probably be better.

Note to self: in #rustlang, you convert an Option<String> in a Option<&String> with the method as_ref, and for the conversion Option<String> to Option<&str>, use as_deref. Damn, I have a hard time memorising these method names. Same for Option::ok_or. Absolutely not intuitive to me.

I'm a fan and user of #docker #swarm. Such a pity it didn't get traction. Most of us don't need google-scale tech and the #k8s complexity it brings... As swarm is just barely alive, this seemed promising: uncloud.run But: allowing all containers to contact all others?☹️Too easy to shoot in one's foot

#LLMs are what allowed me to keep myowndb.com up to date. It is a #foss #fsharp project with 1500+ human-authored commits that lost my focus. I would have archived it. Now I plan to continue to #BuildInPublic . Disclaimer: the project has exhaustive tests and llms were used as assistive technology.

The #ascii representation of a #ssh key is based on an astonishingly simple #algorithm. Read the simple idea at www.jfurness.uk/the-drunken-... and the full #paper at dirk-loss.de/sshvis/drunk... So simple I'll probably implement it for @asfaload.bsky.social for easy hash comparison when signing

I quite like the content about #async #rustlang at aibodh.com/books/the-im... That's an advantage I enjoy now I'm using a popular ecosystem. I like #fsharp very much, but the amount of content published about it is much smaller (though often of high quality too)
