Kaidan: Kaidan’s End-to-End Encryption Trust Management
We worked several months on Kaidan’s upcoming end-to-end encryption and trust management.
Once Kaidan 0.9 is released, it will provide the latest OMEMO Encryption.

Some trust decisions have to be made manually but there are many others Kaidan automates without decreasing your security.

(Smart Home) Automation with Node-RED
Yesterday I expanded the memory in my home and code server to 16 GB and wondered what I could do with all the resources this server provides me. So I looked around a bit and came across an open source program called Node-RED. Especially in the context of Smart Home and Home Assistant, I’ve heard about it a few times, but never looked into this software in more detail. ⌘ Read more

Band name of the day: lethal automated weapons

Something that people keep forgetting about GitS: in every iteration of the franchise, full-body prosthetics are extremely rare. Cyberbrains are common, but suggesting that everybody with a cyberbrain has a prosthetic body is like saying everybody with a modem has full home automation.

Almost all the content I post to social media is posted by a small shell script that simultaneously posts to several services or through IFTTT duplicating those posts to services for which I lack an API key. When facebook broke automated posting, it meant my account went dark. I didn’t notice.

The best argument against the idea that AI will replace programmers wholesale is the relative unpopularity of prolog. As an industry, we don’t take advantage of fantastic automation tech from the 70s, and instead write Java.

In Vernor Vinge’s 2006 novel Rainbows End, there’s a group called FOP (Friends Of Privacy) who are a radical misinformation-chaffing charity. Basically, they spread large amounts of fake, believable, and boring dox about people, so that automated analysis of OSINT has to work harder.
