Howdy! maybe? I was off and on at WMHD as a reprobate from a local high school. I never had the GPA to get in to Rose Hulman; even as a local.

Jim Grey and I knew all the same people at WMHD yet somehow never ran into each other. I was an annoying high school student. Ron Dippold (he ran usenet votes for a long time) was there, among others.

When I was digging through old VHS tapes, I digitized a couple TV spots and put them on youtube; passing them along to Jim.

Best advice I got when I got to San Jose was from an old recruiter - she must have been 30!

She said the Bay Area is big, but the Silicon Valley is small.

I think about her advice a lot.

The radio world is even smaller. I tried out at WZZQ when I was in high school, but didn't make the cut.

if I put two of these far-ish apart, can I get better 3d/4d data?

On the tech side, we are working closely with (for instance) Google: https://github.com/openwallet-foundation/multipaz-wallet

SPRIND: https://github.com/openwallet-foundation/eudiplo

Animo: https://github.com/openwallet-foundation-labs/mdoc-ts

and we do engage with NGOs and governments across the EU.

Keep in mind that while I am employed by the Linux Foundation, I know nothing of the internals of this project; I will speak, instead, of what the projects I support do.

I have found (c) to be high noise, low signal. We're winding down our HackerOne program.

D: we do this in a couple ways. For PQCA, for instance, we use credits from AWS to get access to hardware to run proofs and CI on. PQCA also has a paid mentorship program.

For OWF, we do the same with AWS credits, as well as provide hosting for projects to run services on for testing.

For LFDT, we offer paid mentorships, have paid for Trail of Bits to do reviews, and run events. We had a maintainer summit in New York in January so our maintainers could meet for two days face-to-face. We fund large GitHub CI runners for projects as well.

I know it doesn't answer everything, but our team is only a few people and we really do work hard to help developers. What I'll call the devrel team for OWF/PQCA/LFDT is three FTE, one contractor, and our manager.

LFDT: https://www.lfdecentralizedtrust.org/

OWF: https://openwallet.foundation/

PQCA: https://pqca.org/

PQCA benchmarks, for instance: https://pq-code-package.github.io/mldsa-native/dev/bench/

I enjoyed supporting you in the AllJoyn/AllSeen Alliance era. Sadly, those lessons were never learned.

mostly unrelated, but over the last few weeks I've gone down a rabbit hole having claude write scripts to label videos I shoot through night vision.

I want to get it pointing out overflights and satellites by name, but I'm not there yet.

I emailed Lenstra about some ancient history, we had a nice chat.

RSA129 - I have a color copy of the prize check. I asked how many he sent out.

Help us spread the word? We have good engagement but we need more from governments.

I will point to two items. One, an interview I had. Two, a footnote in history.

1: I own a gun because a disarmed populace is required for genocide and should it come around again, I’m not going to be that guy. I’m not going to be standing on the side.

I manage multiple open source Github enterprises for the Linux Foundation. Something like this is under discussion in all of them - the amount of terrible PRs and issues being filed is overwhelming.

Does it matter? Control of you life is your basic human right. Firearms are the great equalizer.

As an American citizen supporting your government's work to do exactly that, I also wonder.

thanks. shoot me an email ry@walledcity.org if you need a test subject

Trying to set it up with HOVER as a registrar - I get:

Nameserver [ns1.dynip.dev] doesn't exist at the registry (Code 480)

I'm in the same boat. I've been using the Gemini CLI since late last year - it's the only reason I moved up to Ultra.

I guess it's time to move to something else with a business model that might survive a reorg.

Update: unsubscribed from Google Ultra, moving to Claude Max

For my Linux machines, I'm almost always coming to them via SSH or proxmox console. I started with Unix in like 85 or 86 and live on the command line when I can.

Apple's passwords app. It's what I use almost everywhere. I use 1password for work but I'd prefer not to mix work and personal life.

Thank you for pushing me to migrate away from Bitwarden. I've used them for years but I was moving away slowly; now I've moved.

One of the projects I work on, OWF, has great engagement with our open source efforts from Dutch companies and NGOs.

My USPSA rank is public: I'm terrible with pistols. I haven't shot in competition for over a decade. This is the kind of project that tickles a couple of my nerves and might get me back to the range.

I took my mom there a few years ago, it is a really nice setup. If you’re in town, highly recommend.

Guy's world records get deleted due to changes in atanh over time

He wants to evangelize, spread, and support FreeBSD adoption; this free labor helps in this.

I wonder if Jeff Lawson (bovine) is involved.

The route from Tallinn to Warsaw to Kyiv was pretty good! Nice tool.

A friend in Palouse has found several heritage apple trees and has spent at least a decade grafting and working with them. It’s an interesting hobby to watch him experiment with.

T-Mobile consists of at least five distinct networks depending on when your carrier was purchased, last time I was talking with some of the network security guys in Factoria. It’s been four years - they may have converged some of them.
