I don't want to be part of a world where being kind is a weakness.
Grateful for the recognition of SMT! Deep appreciation to
@michioh.bsky.social
for being the best supervisor ever, who helped make all this possible. SMT is an encrypted, message-based transport protocol. Details in our IEEE S&P'26 paper (micchie.net/files/smt-oa...).

I am too lazy, maybe just stick with the mosque kitchen, they don't close...

Nursery already open on the 29th?! But they close again on 31st/1st?

2025 was a game-changer year for me, and my PhD has never felt this close. I visited so many places, reconnected with old friends, met amazing new friends across the world, got my first ever publications and citations. And I am already super excited for 2026! 🚀☕️🧑‍💻

“Whichever” always ends with them unhappy with whatever I choose, because the real answer was out of scope. For instance, they may actually want milk tea lol.

A random magnet I bought at airpot in Portugal in a hurry, I asked the checkout lady what it means but I didn’t hear clearly.

Today I am organizing my backpack and asked ChatGPT what that means.

ChatGPT says it means “No bad thing lasts forever, and no good thing lasts without end.”

China is random smoking happens everywhere, horrible. UK is random smoke and week outdoors, and it sometimes goes into through my office window…
