Soatok Dreamseeker (soatok@furry.engineer)'s status on Sunday, 30-Jun-2024 02:38:43 JST Soatok Dreamseeker Sex between three people is called a threesome.
Sex between four people is called a foursome.
It logically follows that "you look handsome" is actually a sick burn.

Soatok Dreamseeker (soatok@furry.engineer)'s status on Wednesday, 26-Jun-2024 20:19:53 JST Soatok Dreamseeker One reason why I persist in encouraging other furries to start blogs:
Y'all have much more interesting lives than I do, and have such rich experiences to share with the world, even if you don't realize it.
The reason folks like my writing isn't because I'm particularly interesting or skilled, it's because I've realized my potential.
My blog is what Peak Soatok looks like.
Most of my day is spent looking at or writing code, spending time at home, and producing absolutely nothing of *artistic* value for the world to enjoy.
When I do write something, it's usually at 3 AM when I can't sleep.

Soatok Dreamseeker (soatok@furry.engineer)'s status on Wednesday, 19-Jun-2024 19:08:35 JST Soatok Dreamseeker @ryanc Double Ratchet is cool, but I was going to use Group Key Agreement (i.e. RFC 9420) as the basis for an AKE once public key distribution is solved.

Soatok Dreamseeker (soatok@furry.engineer)'s status on Wednesday, 19-Jun-2024 00:48:40 JST Soatok Dreamseeker Life would be so much happier if more people had the humility to recognize that expertise isn't a single hierarchy of intellect but rather a random walk in a hyperdimensional space that makes fractals look simple in contrast.

Soatok Dreamseeker (soatok@furry.engineer)'s status on Friday, 14-Jun-2024 20:13:15 JST Soatok Dreamseeker Tell me about your Boring Technology that gets the job done and gets out of your user's way.
Tell me how you made your app or service easy to use and hard to misuse.
Tell me how you're encoding an understanding of the importance of consent into your architecture.
Tell me how you're treating your employees better than your competitors are treating theirs.

Soatok Dreamseeker (soatok@furry.engineer)'s status on Friday, 14-Jun-2024 20:13:15 JST Soatok Dreamseeker As someone who works in tech, I'm honestly tired of hearing about the same few topics from the same companies:
1. Layoffs
2. Return to office (see #1)
3. Record-breaking profits
4. Press releases about large language modelsShut up shut up shut the FUCK up

Soatok Dreamseeker (soatok@furry.engineer)'s status on Friday, 14-Jun-2024 20:13:14 JST Soatok Dreamseeker At the end of the day, the only people who win this game are private equity firms whose primary goal is to extract rent from the properties they acquire.
That's the curtain call for whatever you're building with this mindset.

Soatok Dreamseeker (soatok@furry.engineer)'s status on Friday, 14-Jun-2024 20:13:14 JST Soatok Dreamseeker Does your company chase the latest hype cycles instead of focusing on fundamentals?
Then I don't trust you.
You will sell your users out for a Klondike bar and your staff will jump ship rather than roll up their sleeves when the going gets tough. That's the culture you are cultivating.

Soatok Dreamseeker (soatok@furry.engineer)'s status on Friday, 14-Jun-2024 20:13:13 JST Soatok Dreamseeker Do you know what excites me? A post-social media Internet where we return to blogs, personal websites, and protocols like ActivityPub instead of centralizing on a half dozen websites that drip-feed us existential dread and rage-bait to keep us attentive to adveritsements.

Soatok Dreamseeker (soatok@furry.engineer)'s status on Friday, 14-Jun-2024 20:13:13 JST Soatok Dreamseeker Believe it or not, there is still plenty of interesting and exciting work to talk about that doesn't involve LLMs.
Cryptographers contributing to the IETF is working to standardize FROST, a two-round threshold signature algorithm based on Schnorr proofs, which is backwards compatible with Ed25519.
This means it will soon be possible to generate Ed25519 signatures from, for example, 4-of-7 shares held by independent parties. And the verifier doesn't need to do anything different; it's just an Ed25519 signature to them.
That's cool as fuck.
There's little-to-no hype about it.

Soatok Dreamseeker (soatok@furry.engineer)'s status on Wednesday, 12-Jun-2024 05:13:09 JST Soatok Dreamseeker Reasons to look at how some product implements cryptography:
1. You are being paid to do so
2. You use the software and are curious
3. People you care about use the software, and you want to help them
4. They have a reputation for being extremely shitty to security researchers and you just want to drop a 0day on your blog lol

Soatok Dreamseeker (soatok@furry.engineer)'s status on Friday, 07-Jun-2024 09:14:15 JST Soatok Dreamseeker Towards Federated Key Transparency
In late 2022, I blogged about the work needed to develop a specification for end-to-end encryption for the fediverse. I sketched out some of the key management components on GitHub, and then the public work abruptly stalled. A few of you have wondered what's the deal with that. This post covers why this effort stalled, what I'm proposing we do next.

Soatok Dreamseeker (soatok@furry.engineer)'s status on Tuesday, 28-May-2024 15:01:53 JST Soatok Dreamseeker Something I detest: Defeatist people who ass-moan whenever someone talks about changing something.
"You won't succeed"
"The fight's already lost"
"Why bother?"
Fuuuuuuuuuck you. I *hate* that pointless negativity.
Yes, I will probably fail. A lot! Maybe you've already tried before and failed, or maybe someone you know has.
Do you know what failures are?
Lessons.
Failing is how you learn to fucking succeed.
Failure doesn't mean you give up.
Failure means you study WHY you failed and see if you can change anything to get a different outcome.
I'm very quick to point out a doomed tactic, but that doesn't always mean the goal is unattainable.
