Happy Caturday… 🐱 #caturday #bluesky

So What Do We Know QC To Be Good For? - Simulating quantum physics and chemistry - Breaking current public-key encryption (RSA, DH, ECC) - Eventually, modest (square-root) speedups from Grover - We’ll have to get lucky for most other applications! (The world has been systemically lied to about this)

I found some *university course slides* that suggested this as a way to set breakpoints for debugging and I have to go lie down

Success comes from experience. Experience comes from failure.

Could this be a stepping stone towards Proton on macOS? www.pcworld.com/article/2465... #macOS #steam #SteamDeck #apple

Does anyone remember the episode of the Pokémon cartoon where Malamar uses mind control to brainwash all the trainers and then makes them build a radio transmitter that he uses to send a message to outer space? Because I would like to see that plot explored a bit more.

My first blog post shared here :) We are going back to basics. All the way back to one of your first lines of code, probably :) satharus.me/tech/2023/10... Enjoy!

Well this is a new one... Having to delete literally everything in /boot in order in order to have enough space to upgrade my system... And no it can't re-partition easily when on an encrypted setup. #ubuntu

A few months ago there seemed to be a glimmer of hope this might be the place that gets critical mass among journalists and other news watchers. Feels like that hope has dissipated. If Bluesky could turn a bunch of these red boxes green, I think there might still be hope, but time is running out.

I do dislike how Firefox forces you to restart immediately when there's an update. Seems like braindead design :-)

This isn't confusing at all 😂

So OAuth2 is what many sites support e.g. login with Google or FB. OAuth1 is supposed to be ignored. OpenID Connect is something that extends OAuth2 but isn't used much. There's also OpenID that tries to solve the same thing as OpenID Connect but is not based on OAuth2 or popular

Someone has read the PSA specifications and made a readable book out of them :-) with extra guidance too. Pretty cool! https://t.co/vmDmdh2qC1 #iot #cybersercurity

Great to catch up with @ConfThings and see their cool #IoT management demo at @future_space_ Bristol. Very slick! #IoTCommunity #smartdecentralisedconfigurationmanagement #synergia https://t.co/ilNDXb0IzG

One of the last things I worked on at ARM was a common API for installing firmware updates on IoT devices. It’s now reached 1.0 and I’m glad to see it hasn’t changed much :-) https://t.co/D58t85M0yb #arm #iotsecurity
