gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: There was a friend of mine studying cyber-security who recently began reading the blog of "asciilifeform."
siemstress[asciilifeform]: Hello from Singapore :)
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: PeterL: I saw a comment about Mastodon on some website which may have been left by you. Are you a fan of the system by any chance?
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: Maybe we should create a bridge between Mastodon and Pest.
gregory2[asciilifeform]: Testing...
gregory2[asciilifeform]: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/06/whats-difference-between-mastodon-bluesky-and-threads
gregory2[asciilifeform]: This is a decent article.
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: asciilifeform: I wanted to say that this was a remarkable comment.
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: It reminded me of how Fabien Sanglard compared the design of game-engines to that of operating systems.
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: signpost: asciilifeform: If I understand correctly, the website showing the WoT no longer exists, is that right? Do we have another way of sharing keys?
asciilifeform: gregorynyssa: it was signpost's www, and went out last yr
bitbot[asciilifeform]: Logged on 2023-08-30 23:44:01 signpost: blog, deedbot, wot site all lived on that box
asciilifeform not knows whether signpost intends to bring any of it back
asciilifeform: gregorynyssa: none of this oughta prevent anyone from sharing keys tho -- host'em on yer www, get'em from other folxs' www, etc
asciilifeform: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2024-06-22#1033381 << there's at least 1 bridge b/w pestnet and heathendom (dun recall precisely which heathen net, given that asciilifeform not uses any of'em, dig in logs if curious)

bitbot[asciilifeform]: Logged on 2024-06-21 23:17:10 gregorynyssa[billymg]: Has anyone here followed the news of the trial of Karen Read?
asciilifeform: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2024-06-21#1033379 << nfi, as nobody's particularly salivating for it, asciilifeform put it in 'back burner' indef
bitbot[asciilifeform]: Logged on 2024-06-21 23:26:47 gregorynyssa[billymg]: When is the projected release of the 0xF9 version of Pest?
asciilifeform: there aint 'over9000' interest in the proj. as can probably tell by the silence in the logs.
asciilifeform: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2024-06-22#1033384 << imho was either remarkably 'fat troll', or genius parody

gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/pest/2024-06-22#1033929 << It may be worth noting that, like Pest, Mastodon is not centralized.

discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (petermlambert) Gregorynyssa: I've never used Mastodon, was not from me
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: PeterL: It must have been a coincidence.
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/pest/2024-06-22#1033925 << If someone were to write another such system, they would need to write an ASN.1 parser for importing the keys.
dulapbot: Logged on 2024-06-22 15:06:13 asciilifeform: gregorynyssa: it was signpost's www, and went out last yr
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: Do you think the ASN.1 format has any merits?
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: What were the historical circumstances which led to its widespread adoption by the cryptographic community?
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: EDIT. "If some person or group were to write..."
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/pest/2024-06-22#1033935 << My productivity has been rather low owing to poor health for several years, but I have very much hope for this protocol.

gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: asciilifeform: Have you done any more reverse-engineering of FPGAs over the past year?
