Sam Neill on tackling depression and imposter syndrome when you’re between jobs.
One of the most privileged life perspective things I have in my career, is working at a place for 10 years. Instead of blaming an anonymous dumb idiot doing something years ago, increasingly it was me. A younger, naïve, idealistic me who thought some other sucker would be maintaining this by then.
Matthew Gracie@infosecgoon.bsky.social · 2mo agoI worked at a college where the network engineer unilaterally decided to block Russian IP space, and then completely forgot about it until a decade later when we were troubleshooting a professor's email account that just couldn't seem to receive emails from a university in Moscow.

It’s weird that we created open source to be free to fork and personalize however you want without any agreement from upstream, and then we created social norms where we shame people for doing that

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years. That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.
A Cryptography Engineer’s Perspective on Quantum Computing Timelines

AI driven RAM pricing forcing developers to get better at resource use is a very funny outcome
Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor. Not one more penny.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9
