Mathieu Pasquet: XMPP Summit 27 and FOSDEM 25 Report
Here is an account of my trip to FOSDEM & XMPP Summit this year.
Note: for privacy reasons on the broader internet, I am keeping names out of
my description of the events, but my goal here is not to diminish anyone’s merit.
I use a bit of acronyms and jargon in this article because it talks about technical things,
so I will define them here:

instant messaging and much more. … ⌘ Read more

TKey SSH CA
I wrote a stupidly simple SSH certificate authority that can you can
use directly over SSH to buy new certificates. It can be used with a
Tillitis TKey both for the private key of the CA itself and for the
user authentication to get a SSH certificate:
https://github.com/tillitis/tkey-ssh-ca
SSH certificates, as you my know, is a way of using not just key pairs
for user authentication, but also solving the problem of public key

On my way to FOSDEM 2025

I’m bringing some TKeys, both enduser and unlocked, and a couple of
TKey flash programmers if you want to … ⌘ Read more

Show HN: Tramway SDK – An unholy union between Half-Life and Morrowind engines
Hello everyone, I would like to see if there is any interest in this little project that I have been working on for the past few years.
Could be relevant, seeing the direction in which the mainstream game engines are going.
I didn’t really like any of the already existing options, so I tried to make my own and it turned out to be easier than expected.
It’s sort of like a low-budget Unreal/Source, but with open-world streaming support and it is … ⌘ Read more
