Thought I'd try a little miniature tribute to the amazing, inspiring artist Ralph McQuarrie, I've always loved his work and thought I'd tackle an illustration he did for Empire Strikes Back and replicate it using figures, practical effects, miniatures, lighting, cotton wool for snow and some serious perspective cheats

I just released a first draft version of #minipgp6

https://floss.social/@minipgp6/116500687374282691

minipgp6 is an intentionally small #OpenPGP library stack.
It implements v6 formats from https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9580 and #PQC composite key algorithms from https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-openpgp-pqc/

The complete library stack in this release adds up to ~5k LOC.
It interoperates with all modern OpenPGP libraries: https://codeberg.org/minipgp6/minipgp6#interop

A SOP CLI tool based on minipgp6 can be installed as

$ cargo install minipgp6-sop

Many thanks to @nlnet

I'm reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_AI and it's amazing.

It's full of intriguing little snippets of context. One that is still making me roll my eyes is that the author of the Harry Potter fanfic "... and the Methods of Rationality" is also widely noted as one of the Serious Thinkers about the coming of the AI machine god.

You can't make any of that stuff up.
