Building iroh with the amazing folks at number 0 (n0.computer).
Generally striving to increase user agency and excited about commons networks.
Only works for Canadian CEOs, apparently.
Rust, cryptography, CRDTs & more on my feed
Interestingly, Claude seems to be able to print an em dash, but not those fancy tilted quotation marks (they're called left and right double quotation marks apparently).

Also it seems to be unaware of that fact.

😅 I'm almost through checking my code against (almost) all PLC records. This is one of the 3 last remaining failures:

Love how it reads like graffiti.

That operator is a Haskell OG 😀
Have a look at the Haskell Logo:

(refers to the Monad bind operator: hackage.haskell.org/package/base...)

did:plc auditing is a bunch of CPU work:
re-encoding loaded date in dag-cbor, hashing, verifying signatures etc.

Parallelizing this was really easy with #rust scoped threads & crossbeam-channel (I needed an spmc channel to distribute work).

A full audit of ~34M dids now takes ~20mins on my machine

@retr0.id providing endless test cases.

In other news: I'm verifying (almost) all did:plc records (until ~March 6th this year).

Shoutout to @534.bsky.social (who I assume created) the bsky.app/profile/did:... with a great did:plc record

Ha! I have not. It was just outside the samples I fetched to verify my code (I haven't yet fully mirrored plc.directory).

No samples between 2024-12-17T11:04:53.086Z and 2024-12-26T00:03:26.116Z.

Yeah they are. According to the BLAKE3 paper, KangarooTwelve is slower than BLAKE3 for 64B inputs, though.

#Rust v1.83.0 was just released: blog.rust-lang.org/2024/11/28/R...

It has "New const capabilities" specifically "Mutable references and pointers"

Look at this! This is amazing news for e.g. the crypto-bigint #cryptography crate.

Damn. Starting off strong with an Open Source game :0

Recently I've enjoyed Core Keeper :)

I'm a major fan of Terraria-style games, it has amazing pixel art & music and I really dig their game design thoughtfulness.

Getting multiplayer connections has been a major pain unfortunately though 😭

Wanted to try this out, but got this

I am *so* sorry for commenting without having read the article yet @robin.berjon.com, but after seeing attached figure from the article, I couldn't help myself:

It's super interesting to me how kagi search changes the funding model and is now starting to build their own browser, Orion (on WebKit).

Not the Netherlands, but I got out in Brussels once and couldn't get past the turnstiles. I was trying to use my German QR code, because Google told me it'd work, but it didn't (and really I highly doubted it would).
Walked around confused a bunch, tried it again later and it worked 🙃

For my lockscreen and when unlocked.

Yeah for me it seems to post some papers repeatedly every 15 minutes.

I mean. I don't hate my timeline being mostly papers :D
