Happy Birthday, Whitfield Diffie! Diffie received the 2015 #ACMTuringAward for inventing and promulgating both asymmetric public-key cryptography, including its application to digital signatures, and a practical cryptographic key-exchange method.

Diffie says the counterculture of the 1960’s inspired his interest in cryptography. Watch him explain: https://youtu.be/d820zuDbYIg

Today's IT project was to install an MQTT broker on my #SelfHosting #HomeLab. After a bit of shenanigans with DNS and certificates I've got it working. I'm using the Caddy proxy to generate me a certificate, and a shell script to copy the certificate to my docker host for use by the #Mosquitto #MQTT broker. My router and DNS server make sure the messages end up on the docker host, and a test application on my home desktop is able to subscribe and receive messages from the broker.

The real fun starts now... writing an app that receives my location data from #OwnTracks on my phone, stores it in a database, and ultimately does all sorts of pretty geospatial stuff.

Look at this thing I've made!

It is actually a transpiler from the weird c-like syntax for bitllevel operations that exists in my brain to code that the LuaJIT interpreter actually understands and can evaluate, displayed in a well-aligned manner right inside the text editor.

Andrew "buinnie" Huang's Dabao, which I wrote about back in January, is now crowdfunding: under $10 (plus shipping, admittedly) for a microcontroller board built around the Baochip-1x - a #RISCV part with "mostly open RTL," and packaged in a way you can peer beneath the silicon's surface with an infrared torch and a modified inspection camera.
