We hold these truths to be self-evident — reason, logic (Z-F), metric, UTF-8, RFC 3339.

Hey #artist friends: one of my kids (an illustrator and animator) is wanting to get her own website up, and she likes NeoCities but hasn’t generated any HTML in a while and doesn’t really know CSS or JS. What would you recommend as an #art friendly #hosting platform, or web page generation tools she can use locally (Mac or Windows) to build content she can upload?

Regular PSA reminder:

While GnuPG 2.5.x implements hybrid PQC encryption based on ML-KEM, just like https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-openpgp-pqc/, GnuPG's implementation is entirely incompatible with the IETF-specified format, which all other libraries are implementing.
Both serialization and the KEM combiners differ.

The bottom line is that anyone who wants to use vendor-agnostic PQC with OpenPGP should *avoid GnuPG's PQC key formats*.

This is all exceedingly unfortunate and weird, and frankly, a total disgrace.

Post-Quantum Cryptography in OpenPGP

This document defines a post-quantum public key algorithm extension for the OpenPGP protocol, extending RFC9580. Given the generally assumed threat of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, this extension provides a basis for long-term secure OpenPGP signatures and ciphertexts. Specifically, it defines composite public key encryption based on ML-KEM (formerly CRYSTALS-Kyber), composite public key signatures based on ML-DSA (formerly CRYSTALS-Dilithium), both in combination with elliptic curve cryptography, and SLH-DSA (formerly SPHINCS+) as a standalone public key signature scheme.

Jake, 24, said buying in Sydney wasn't that hard. "I cut down on avocado toast, walked to work, and my grandmother passed away leaving me $1.2 million in a trust. Anyone can do it if they really want to." This story sponsored by news dot com dot au.

@mayintoronto The model for me is neighbourhood community rather than friendship group. Digital neighbours, in a sense. We share a defined location. We know about each other. We hear from each other and try to live considerately in awareness of each other. We wave and say hi and get on with some neighbours more than others, and we introduce one neighbour to another. We welcome, and we leave alone. We borrow tools, share fruit, take in packages. Sometimes we become friends.

How many people do you frequently interact with on the Fedi, who you'd describe as a friend to people you know irl?
