Interesting to see that the first 'post-quantum' upgrade to the Signal Protocol is already being rolled out.
Continues to use elliptic curves for agreement (X25519) but adds the lattice-based CRYSTALS-Kyber as a Key Encapsulation Mechanism

Announcing PQXDH! The first step in post-quantum resistance for the Signal Protocol, PQXDH protects your Signal calls & chats from potential future threats of breakthroughs in quantum computing. And it's already rolling out to Signal clients everywhere.

Sticky Scroll! Let's go...

• Sticky Scroll scrolls sideways when editor horizontal scrollbar is enabled
• View the last line of scope by holding Shift and hovering over line
• Folding icons now in the Sticky Scroll gutter

[Vanja Ćosić @vanjacosic]

YES. Looking forward to this coming to other editors!

My favorite Xcode 14 feature so far: sticky headers.

[Vanja Ćosić @vanjacosic]

@roncohen Ah, nice find. I assumed based on the early replies that it wasn't available elsewhere. But I can see that people are now linking to prior art.. and how vim had it first (of course😅)

We have uploaded the first talk from this week's meetup of the Copenhagen Rust Community 🦀

Watch @mikkelhegn's introduction to serverless WebAssembly with @spinframework:

Thanks to everyone who showed up and to @fermyontech for sponsoring the meetup!

[Vanja Ćosić @vanjacosic]

@sorentwo Excellent work!

Just a heads up: there's a couple of links on the frontpage that 404, they link to "smart_engine.html" instead of the proper docs page 🐞

This is the real, human cost of mass surveillance of everyone's private digital communications.

If we actually care about keeping people safe, we need more end-to-end encryption not less.

[Vanja Ćosić @vanjacosic]

@_lhermann @agfinn I hadn't used Companion before working on the module, so the API felt a bit quirky and confusing. And the documentation has a lot of gaps, specially with the big transition from v2 to v3. But it was still fun 😊
Looking forward to seeing the feedback from customers trying it!

[Vanja Ćosić @vanjacosic]

I am genuinely worried that we are heading towards a bleak future for the free and open web. It's time to do what we can to prevent it.
These two paragraphs by @pareene paint a depressing picture. https://t.co/H8B93eM011

[Vanja Ćosić @vanjacosic]

The messaging app 'Converso' claims to be encrypted and private. A researcher only needed to poke at it for a little bit to discover that their almost all their claims are false and that user data was publicly available 🙀
Excellent detective work.

The Internet Archive is the most important single website, this is not a debate. If these dipshits take it down we are going to lose unthinkable amounts of history.

Please consider each and every browser extension you have installed, and whether it's necessary and trustworthy. They can be incredible invasive and steal your clipboard, log your typing, go full cookiemonster on you, and more.

Looks like Apple is rolling out opt-in end to end encryption for iCloud backups. https://t.co/mNPJm6O6wX

I will be forwarding this thread to everyone who says "It's just a social media app, it's not that complicated to build or maintain".

[Mosquito Capital @MosquitoCapital]

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"

As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

the most consequential figures in the tech world are half guys like steve jobs and bill gates and half some guy named ronald who maintains a unix tool called 'runk' which stands for Ronald's Universal Number Kounter and handles all math for every machine on earth
