this is in many ways a much more significant geopolitical weapon than Iran actually having a nuclear weapon, which can’t be used the way closing the strait can they will never give it up now that they know they have it

yeah, so this is the thing about the iran war. regardless of whether there is shooting or not, the strait is closed, and that is the central problem for the global economy. iran realizes this and no amount of bluster will change it www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

The age file header is sent to the client, which decrypts it using typage's new passkey support (github.com/FiloSottile/...) and sends back the file key. The server decrypts the password with it and mounts the dataset. I can use it from my phone via iCloud Keychain, or could use YubiKeys, too!

A friend got her (Android) phone stolen and the thieves were able to quickly pivot into her Google account and then bank. I’ve been wondering how they did that and my best guess is SMS password resets (aka SMS 1FA). So yeah, SIM PINs (or eSIMs) might help. Also no text body on lock screens.

Upgraded one of my phones to iOS 18.1 and was puzzled because I found it several times rebooted and SIM-locked (yes, I have PINs on my SIMs). I thought it was a bug but… turns out there is a new inactivity reboot!¹ Brilliant analysis, "must read"™! __ ¹ naehrdine.blogspot.com/2024/11/reve...

In 2022, I left Google in search of a sustainable approach to open source maintenance. A year later, I was a full-time independent maintainer. Today I’m announcing the natural progression of that experiment: Geomys, a small firm of professional maintainers with a portfolio of critical Go projects.
