You should read Spohie’s writing about cryptography. Even when you (like me) don’t understand the majority of it it’s still neat. (Also, #protip — if you don’t clearly understand the fundamental theoretical underpinnings for security related things that’s a sign you shouldn’t be designing or implementing them, and you shouldn’t trust anyone else to design or implement them if they don’t either)

Infosec ExchangeSophie Schmieg (@sophieschmieg@infosec.exchange)New blog post, about a fun obsession of mine, the reason why we use elliptic curves and not any other groups for Diffie-Hellman. https://keymaterial.net/2025/05/23/there-is-no-diffie-hellman-but-elliptic-curve-diffie-hellman/

Travelling from Cardiff Central to London Paddington, always check advance fares from Cardiff Queen Street and/or to Stratford (London).
My £59 fare went down to £52. Seats on GWR still the worst on any train in the known galaxy, but the ticket cost is slightly less painful.

Check this out: Vala has “Contract Programming” features that make it super simple to define preconditions and post-conditions for methods! You can add `requires ()` and `ensures ()` clauses to any method to automatically return null and avoid garbage input or output 🧵 👇

Il est très facile de reconnaître les cerises mûres sur un cerisier.
Sont mûres :
- celles qui ont été mangées par les oiseaux
- celles qui sont piquées par les insectes
- celles qui ont été attrapées par les chiens (!)

Les autres sont soit vertes, soit pourries.
À bientôt pour un autre tuto récolte & jardinage. 😘

Bonus #ProTip: It’s about *value*, not time spent.

I don’t care if a plumber takes 10 minutes or 4 hours to fix my leaky faucet. I care that it gets done. Same for well-cleaned windows, a tightly-edited script, or a beautifully-printed booklet. Consider the value you bring to your clients, not how long it takes. Outline specific scopes and schedules of work, & charge for the final outcome. That way you know what you’re getting paid, & the client knows their budget.

Another #ProTip: know your worth!

Esp. when you are a freshly-minted business-owner, it can be hard to know what to charge. It is worth the time to see what others in your business, area, & other specific areas of differentiation charge. A LOT of people just starting out undervalue their worth — especially women. Don’t let the pressure to make a sale cheapen your value. Relatedly: try not to differentiate strictly on price. It’s a volume game, & that can rob your time.

@mjdxp I used to ask for them to add alt text, or call an ocrbot on it, but too often they just have a freak out at my GALL.

All I want is I can mouseover to see what was significant or read text without expanding a tiny image, and blind people should get the same accommodation.

So now I just silently unfollow and/or mute or block people who don't alt text. There's a few million other nerds out here who aren't jerks.

Checie pro tip kuchenny? taki, który dźwignie Wasze gotowanie o jeden poziom?

i będziecie mogli zrobić np ryż zapiekany
według tego przepisu: blog.sniadanko.cafe/2024/10/eg

Kupcie sobie do domu palnik ręczny gazowy - taki zakładany na kartusze z butanem. na allegro za około 50 zł można dostać takie z kilkoma kartuszami. Powinno starczyć na lata.
można tym opalić cebulę do zupy czy np ryż jak smażycie z jajkiem w przepisie powyżej.
Prawdziwy game changer w gotowaniu. Szczególnie jak chcecie dodać "aromat żywego ognia" :-)
