Fiancée and I celebrated the new year at snow canyon state park. Beautiful and eerie in the rain, even if it obscured the “dark sky” stars. Luckily it cleared the morning we left, still got to see sunlight on the red rocks.

Hidden in storage, a University of Utah research associate happened upon the only known copy of this ‘revolutionary’ software
It took careful work to recover the UNIX V4 operating system from the 9-track magnetic tape. The software is foundational for most devices used today, including iPhones.

FHE is really cool, Laurie's thread has great pointers, check it out! However, FHE isn't the only answer to "encryption-in-use". Other solutions exist that are efficient, employ well-established cryptography, and are deployable today! Naturally, there's a catch:

Rewatched Jaws. Spielberg is so effortless with his storytelling it's stupid. The car ferry oner is a masterclass of blocking,* and it's not even close to top 5 shots in this movie.

There is a lot of demand for digital privacy and security advice out there right now and lots of people are giving advice and writing guides. I beg them to do a few things: 1. Be explicit about the threat model your advice is meant for.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.
