Crypto folks (maybe @… ): what's the latest estimates on difficulty of real world factorization attacks on a single 1024 bit RSA modulus?
Like, i know it's "plausible enough for a state level attacker to break that you shouldn't be using 1024 bit keys" but nobody's ever demonstrated an actual factorization yet.
So in terms of co…

Why can't we have this?
A social platform where your data lives on torrents. Signed with your own keys. Direct and group messaging can run on the same network. No central servers. No outages. No kill switch.
Scales naturally. Users control everything. Nobody can take it down. Nobody can lock you out.
Feels obvious. Still doesn’t exist. Why?
This could replace Facebook, Twitter, Bluesky, X (maybe even Mastodon, though ActivityPub is a different beast). It would be…

Here‘s a little tip if you’re using (the latest version of) Helix Editor:
Add the following keybinding to your config (if you don’t use Ctrl b for page up, that is; otherwise, change the key):

C-b = ":echo %sh{git blame -L %{cursor_line}, 1 %{buffer_name}}"
Now, when you press Crtl b in the editor, you’ll see the git blame for the line you’re on. Very useful for seeing which commit the line last changed in and, for teams, who committed the chang…

6 years and I'm still stumbling across stupid crap done in my hiatus.
E.g. someone partly disaggregated a system of shared SSH configs and keys such that when I made one change needed for slow-rolling updates across 3 dozen intimately interoperating physical hosts, it created a nightmare.
So now I rebuild what I did in 2016. At least I documented it, so it took far less time to fix than to diagnose.
