#TIL China has a national standard, SM9, on Identity-Based Cryptography. IBC is a cool cryptosystem, there's a math connection between your public key and your name (username, domain name, etc), so everyone can use your name as the public key without any authorities or key servers, nevertheless its traditional form has a huge technical limitation - it requires a Key Generation Center to generate your private keys. "All your key are belong to us!"

There's an RFC draft to include it in TLS, and see how the backdoor is justified... Man-in-the-Middle attacks can be detected by forensic analysis, are you kidding me?

To be fair, the CA PKI system has the same backdoor - in both systems the authorities can pretend to be anyone, if you use the key strictly for signing, not encryption, arguably IBC is not worse than PKI.

But at least a CA leaves an auditable record if you enforce Certificate Transparency requirements. Meanwhile IBC KGC can do the same without leaving a trace. #cryptography

i'm not sure what the authorized job someone who is "cancelled" is allowed to work, so i'm just reinterpreting calling for someone to be cancelled to be identical to calling for their death.

If vaccinated old people can go to the pub this summer but their soon-to-be jobless kids can’t I’m convinced there’s going to be widespread riots. When furlough ends things are going to get tense.

Good ol' Biden, making the world hate us once again. Say what you will about Trump but it was nice having 1/3 the usual military deployed and engaging in peace talks with the enemies way better strategy than a policy of "we refuse to come to the negotiating table" and then bomb them instead.

@tengumatingpress As of today, all Plan 9 and Inferno versions are under the MIT license. Whole bunch of interesting third-party development for it (notably treason, so you can play videos on it), kernel continues receiving work, and Inferno just had a 64-bit version released a few days ago. Cool stuff needless to say
