A new efficient RPKI Design
Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is a critical security mechanism for BGP, but the complexity of its architecture is a growing concern as its adoption scales. Current RPKI design heavily reuses legacy PKI components, such as X.509 EE-certificates, ASN.1 encoding, and XML-based repository protocols, all these introduce excessive cryptographic validation, redundant metadata, and inefficiencies in both storage and processing. We show that these design choices, although based on establishe…

Did our first longish trip in the EV over the weekend, Albury to Melbourne and back. Things we learnt:
1. I was worried about range since there was a lot of 110kph highway and a fair bit of stop start city driving. This proved unfounded as the range was pretty right.
2. There are chargers everywhere along the highway ranging from cheap 7kw AC chargers to expensive 200 kw DC chargers. You pay for the convenience of speed . Even using the most expensive chargers, costs were about a t…

Evaluating the Predictive Power of Qualifying Performance in Formula One Grand Prix
Formula One race weekends are structured around multiple sessions: practices, qualifying, and the Grand Prix itself, each contributing to final race performance. This study analyzes nearly two decades of races, encompassing 7,800 driver-weekend observations, to quantify the predictive value of each session on race outcomes. Expanding on prior research with a larger dataset and a longitudinal perspective, statistical analyses using contingency coefficients and Ordinal Logistic Regression update …

What united these disparate figures is that they were all promoting the debunked conspiracy theory that the devastating flooding in Texas last weekend was caused not by a month’s worth of rain falling in the space of just a few hours—the intensity of which, meteorologists say, was difficult to predict ahead of time—but by a targeted attack on American citizens using directed energy weapons or cloud seeding technology to manipulate the weather

Progress.
Attachments and hose lengths made final for the second pump. Caps drilled with holes for each return bottom outlet. Three loads of gravel dumped into the #poolpond for the floor. Then I realized there was a section of the wall near the yellow crate that was not actually touching the inner wall, meaning there was a gap. Not good. But the sun has broken through the morning fog so it’s too hot in the hole now to fix it. Will have to wait until Labour Day!
This weekend is the 1 year anniversary of renting the digger to make the holes! I am about where I figured I would be one year later :)
