Visiting DC and came to see this quote at the Jefferson Memorial. I had seen it online once, it resonated with me then, but it especially resonates today as we see the system under obvious strain. Glad for an opportunity to see it in person.

We announced the new native Go FIPS 140-3 mode 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.
Go is now one of the easiest and most secure ways to build under FIPS 140.

Go now has a built-in, native FIPS 140-3 compliant mode.

Finally understand enough about type systems (functional knowledge) and Haskell (just enough) to fully understand "parse, don't validate."
The idea is simple tho: Attach type system information at the system boundary so those invariants can be reused!

a network thats split up into separate and independent components that can be reused by other parties is just so fucking cool
especially now that were at the point these components can be chained together: you can take blacksky's relay, feed it into appviewlite, and connect that to deer

Actually on that note, all the new relays popping up are super SUPER exciting. Northsky could set up our own for redundancy but seeing relays emerge outside the US greatly obviates that need in the short term. Big ups to @bad-example.com for really pushing the discussion on that lately.

My son insists on using a kid’s toothbrush like he has at preschool, though we got him an electric one.
Last night we’re brushing teeth together and suddenly he starts insisting on the electric one. I ask why and he hits me with “I want to be like you, daddy!” for the first time.
Still feeling it.

Somehow, the future is both going to be a dystopian techno sci-fi hellscape AND we're gonna have coal and measles and robber barons and a permanent underclass.

Bought some food weights that weren’t available on Amazon, and was reminded how nice it is to get stuff from smaller passion project businesses. This was a nice surprise!
