@mijndert Hey! How's it going with CalAction?
Got some interest and feedback yet?

@mijndert Nice work on your app ​:D

Sounds like a product I might use myself if I were in the Apple ecosystem.

Introducing the app I've been working on, CalAction, which is now in beta testing.

@mijndert Your last post is now also mentioned here, and it seems people agree with you. https://lobste.rs/s/y7n6lo/best_laptop_ever

After many years and experiments, another conclusion I'd like to share:

- Make sure you "own" (well, technically: rent) at least one domain name with a recognisable but not "funny" name (my main domain is wildeboer.net)
- Only "buy" one of .com, .net, .org, .eu (when you live there) or your countries top level domain (TLD). Ignore all the fancy hype TLDs.

Your domain can become your digital identity authority that YOU control. This will become more important mid-to longterm, IMHO. 1/5

Sorry for the terseness, this instance has a character limit.

I did read the part about "This is especially true for key agreement", but my original question still stands:

If I understand correctly, symmetric encryption is not (yet) affected by quantum computers. So this paragraph still doesn't really make sense to me.

I assume I misunderstand something, hence this question.

2/2

@feistyduck In your last newsletter you wrote:

> (...) Second, a lot of encryption has to survive for decades, and some believe that a working quantum computer is a couple of decades away. Thus, if you’re protecting serious secrets, you want to start using PQC now (...)

Not being a cryptographer, I'm wondering the following: decades-long storage seems to me to imply documents, usually encrypted with something like AES. That's not affected by QC, right?

So what am I missing?

@hannobraun I've been following your work on Fornjot from a distance for a while.

I just came across Truck, which seems to be a project in the same space, also written in #RustLang. Thought you might be interested to know about it.

Thank you for the great article about managing offline Zigbee devices in #HomeAssistant!

Managing Offline Devices in Zigbee2MQTT — Home Automation Guy

Zigbee is great, and it’s my favourite Smart Home Protocol… until one of my devices stops working. Here is how I deal with it in my smart home.

🧵: Back when I was in high school, the prevailing sentiment among my fellow students was “be careful, they can see everything you do on school computers” and basically just being completely on edge about the whole thing. Here’s my take, and I invite discussion below.
