Anyone have recommendations for where to buy women’s suits in Vancouver this weekend? 2026-09-05T20:13:46Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsv0pg0mw05m7upt74yz9gu5a5qz6jx759gys2rtsfqfuv0g5yh0fgzyrzn27xm0x89cdp8xppqqaayhqv89qltqvyullztjhp0pnuzn5x0wua7dk4 It’s a cool and rainy day in the PNW and I am pinned by my cat.<br/><br/>Darn. <br/><br/>#caturday<br/> <img src="https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/117/179/200/703/963/917/original/8d4dbf87bfc31f71.png"> <br/> 2026-08-29T14:13:04Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2lj207v9phlxnwm0kk906s4zzjngssqxfvwvkse66w77k7v52t6czyrzn27xm0x89cdp8xppqqaayhqv89qltqvyullztjhp0pnuzn5x0wmyhyth #TIL that this is a thing.

BUT profiles, extensions, trust, policy, deployment assumptions, optional “features”... there are so many places for two perfectly conformant implementations to disagree.<br/><br/>Should our specs focus more on “under what conditions is this interoperable?” rather than just asking “in a theoretical world, is this interoperable?” 2026-08-27T15:46:25Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrfhxep4ew9n7224rpzf7afwypkddmy9adl2jjzu42qd8vxvmxu6qzyrzn27xm0x89cdp8xppqqaayhqv89qltqvyullztjhp0pnuzn5x0w8z3jrk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2lan3gs6penmzt4w66dn9vn0gw8yjg082c72y8lddpvx0f4xmq6q2yqek5'>nevent1q…qek5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>How strange! <a href="https://sphericalcowconsulting.com/2026/07/28/how-to-research-a-defensible-paper/">https://sphericalcowconsulting.com/2026/07/28/how-to-research-a-defensible-paper/</a> 2026-07-28T13:29:17Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsyfvvyq2j6s5x6w5xem2kr6l04ufg8ek88nvgxdaaerz5jcdewwdszyrzn27xm0x89cdp8xppqqaayhqv89qltqvyullztjhp0pnuzn5x0wex3s39 Research is not just finding sources. It is deciding which sources deserve weight, tracking what you found, verifying details, and being honest about what remains uncertain.<br/><br/>New post: how I approach research for defensible, decision-ready papers, including Google Scholar, NGO and international organization searches, source spreadsheets, database checks, cold outreach, and careful use of AI as an organizing aid rather than an authority. 2026-07-28T09:00:14Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvp3g4yfwu0470d58g62dacu6ccrk578l8lkt46f95f0xpay6mseqzyrzn27xm0x89cdp8xppqqaayhqv89qltqvyullztjhp0pnuzn5x0wsgt89e With over 100 active Internet Drafts on various topics around AI, a third of the available side meetings, and nearly half of the HotRFC lightning talks at #IETF 126, I’m feeling more than a little overwhelmed with all the heat and so very little light. 2026-07-20T16:19:49Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfs9tvq2xresa7cm3fgzvrmusnr4pgjaf9f4hgt5nt8hx26fseweqzyrzn27xm0x89cdp8xppqqaayhqv89qltqvyullztjhp0pnuzn5x0w2q0jre In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2t5w395ruvh3caye43hv48d2tasqrz7zxcudvp7hkrn5h33dg5tgw3s2ms'>nevent1q…s2ms</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I’d have to agree with <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub15qlzhf20mxdvn4z0aza33tdlnka4j0fvt2wx4hjymzyj8d3xswdsd5c4kz" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Jeffrey Haas</span> (<span class="italic">npub15ql…c4kz</span>)</a></span> . PKI does a lot of heavy lifting, and goodness knows if you dig deep enough, everything in cybersecurity feels like it is a key management problem. That said, when it comes to the private key being your identity, which identity? Your legal identity in the eyes of the government? Your employee identity in the eyes of your employer(s)? Generating sub-keys from a primary key to cover all the contexts in which you’d need to prove something would turn into a key management problem very quickly, and most people aren’t prepared to handle that. People want whatever end product or service they’re trying to prove themselves to; they do not want to put thought into managing a raft of keys. 2026-07-12T14:00:51Z
