I should say what my ongoing project is. I am implementing various cryptography related algorithms for my own fun and edification.
The code is here:

I don't think I've ever encountered C code for cryptography that did not repeatedly force me to ask "why the fuck would you even think to write it this way?".

@comiccontext.bsky.social Do you take submissions of comic book panels? Because I have a bunch.

This is turning into a real internet outage not just a two hour blip.

@scryfall.com Someone on reddit recently found that searching for the regex o:/(can't(.|\n)*){3,}/ includes Alchemist's Gambit, a card that technically only contains "can't" once. Is this because cards with Cleave store multiple instances of the text?

Reading a low level algorithm in Python is bad. Sadly the only other option I have is pure C++ header files.

I love etymologies that terminate at "its the word for the thing". Like the English word "bronze" is apparently derived from various words that all mean "bronze".

I'm less interested in what Ukraine did to destroy all those bombers than I am in what Russia did to try and stop them. Is this really "unstoppable" or is just something where now you need guards with different equipment?

ITS ALIVE! My Skein implementation works!
I now possess them all: Keccack, JH, Groestl, BLAKE, and Skein. All the SHA-3 finalists!

With a working Threefish implementation I now am part way to having a working Skein implementation. Soon my collection of SHA-3 candidates will be complete.

Why did the Skein hash function team define SO MANY fucking variants?

Groestl is done! That is four out of five SHA-3 finalists in my collection now.

With JH implemented I now have three of the five SHA-3 finalists! (Keccak, BLAKE, JH) Two more and the collection will be complete.

Trump's massively damaging taxes are easily understood if you simply let go of the idea that Trump wants to improve the economy.

Nothing is as weird as getting an email about my rent from my landlord and finding out that they're inexplicably charging me only half next month.

The trivia section on the House Wiki is so interesting. Its written specifically for English speakers who have no knowledge of America so it explains what "Detroit" is.

Video of a student in my town who wrote a political op-ed being grabbed off the street by government agents bsky.app/profile/pale...
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
