We announced the new native FIPS 140-3 module on the Go blog today!
FIPS 140, like it or not, is often a requirement, and I was increasingly sad about large deployments replacing the Go crypto packages with non-memory safe cgo bindings.
Well, it took over a year, but Go is now one of the easiest and most secure ways to build under FIPS 140.
@EUCommission This is a non-solution in search of a problem. Young people are getting radicalised by neo-nazi content on all-ages websites like YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, while youth consumption of pornography causes nowhere near comparable harm. I am appalled that we are introducing this level of surveillance into European daily lives, that will spawn government lists of vulnerable and "undesirable" people, and will not fix anything it implies to.
De humor hangt (lag) op straat. Klein detail in de stad.
And this gets me thinking about a thing I have often heard from C programmers pushing back on the use of tools or language features that would improve the quality of their software, along the lines of “competent programmers don’t need these things, they should just get good”.
I am well past the point in my life where I engage with that sort of noise in any good faith, because if your answer to any perceived failing in a person is “just try harder”, you are either woefully inexperienced or a just a dick.

Het gebruik van de versleutelde communicatiedienst Signal is in Nederland fors gegroeid sinds het aantreden van president Trump in januari. Het aantal nieuwe maandelijkse registraties bij Signal ligt 25 keer hoger dan begin januari. Het aantal gebruikers is opgelopen tot ruim twee miljoen.

Squid Game season "3". More gore than story. Guess the story telling barrel was empty.
Enjoyed it, but honest to God, I hope this was the last season
The past week was the hottest ever recorded on Earth | New Scientist https://share.google/o0jKj82kQ0vLqdD3V
@Thorn @MarkHoltom we can’t know if it is true or not. There are no ways of measuring short-term temperatures in the past.
But if you said «The last 7 days have likely been hotter than the average temperature over the past 100,000 years, when comparing on the scale of 10,000 year intervals», it would probably be true
@Huubje @MarkHoltom not necessarily. Siestas, dehumidifiers for wet bulb conditions, nocturnal cooking and heating patterns, and shorter working weeks would all help.
Plus, idk... ban most marketing, all fossil fuel industries and derivatives, fossil fuel lobbying, petrochemical influence by any other name, and similar improvements that would have helped any time in the last century, too.
Also therapy! UBI, UBS, and conflict resolution as intentional community planning.
@MxVerda @Huubje @MarkHoltom Siestas, dehumidifiers, nocturnal cooking are not going to help our crops and wildlife
Most plants evolved to survive in a fairly narrow band of temperature ranges. When we get a week of summer conditions in February, all the plants wake up and then have their buds killed off the week after when it freezes again. No flowers = no fruit for that year. Also, the rate of warming is massively outpacing evolution.
All the others things though, we should do those
