Protocol designers, I beg you to include an actual security design document with your designs, there is no reasonable way for me to verify your security choices if you don't tell me why they are made!
I literally cannot use your protocol for anything serious (read: something that marginalized people will be using) if you don't tick this box, no matter how nice your website or conference talk is
@clarfonthey Wait, it's being deprecated?
@serapath Without a security design document, it won't be suitable for what I'm trying to do (which is the same reason I've discarded a lot of other options - I want to see exactly what security considerations they have made and how they ended up at their design choices)

Academic conference
I would describe the decor as
Motivational Poster Platitude Chic
Imagine if the "live laugh love" and "think globally, act strategically" aesthetics had a transporter accident

What's the proportions ratio for social media banners? The more for different platforms you know the better, but at least Mastodon's should work for now. Thanks.

pol, talking about disability and unemployment as an able-bodied employed person
disabled people and people who are unable to work are working class, simple as. the role capitalism has assigned to them is working, and that's precisely the reason why they're shamed and portrayed as a burden for being unable to work and fulfill that role. they're used as an example for people capable of working of what happens when you don't work or lose your job.
capitalist economic exploitation can't exist without coercion, and coercion can't exist without harsh consequences for people who don't have a job AND a constant reminder of this threat.
even tho i align with orthodox marxism in many ways, I strongly disagree with its portrayal of the "lumpenproletariat". marxists already reject splitting the working class in many instances, like PMC theory, as revisionist. why is it okay to do it in the instance of the "lumpen"? just because marx did it? this shit isn't the bible. the class interests between the working part and the non-working part of the proletariat clearly align, they're the victims of inherently connected mechanisms of the same system. the disabled and the homeless are already regularly used as scapegoats for economic hardships caused by capitalism, and introducing a fictional class divide here is only going to open the door for that even in leftist circles.
on average disabled people probably have a lot more class consciousness than a lot of able-bodied people. many of them organize and participate in activism. the idea that they have "no revolutionary potential" doesn't reflect reality today. maybe it never did and the people who theorized this lacked perspectives, but a lot of things also changed since then, we have the internet now, as an example.

@serapath Not quite talking about eclipse attacks; rather just old-fashioned "try to be the chosen relay node to map out connections of other parties".
Is there a security design document for HyperDHT?
I was just trying to make a DHT, why do I always get distracted by tangents 😩
(Not that this isn't going to be useful at some future time)

Ok, I have sifted through #altText discussions, and this is what I am gonna do as a standard:
Asking for help: #alt4me tag and
@imagecaptionspls group. So follow those if you want to keep an eye out for opportunities to help.
Reply with #alt4you and I'll edit my toot and add better alt Text.
I heartily encourage everyone to follow the tag and group, not just for me, but because it helps so many ppl. We take care of each other here, and it is fekkin beautiful.

Sometimes kōtare (sacred kingfishers) are so focused on what’s for breakfast that they don’t notice me getting quite close.

Was looking into P2P relay routing with relay discovery as a side effect of DHT traversal, and realized that this would create some issues with bias in peer selection (specifically a surveillance node could sit on a specific DHT path to increase chances of being selected)
Oops, I am accidentally doing surveillance-resistant DHT design now, I guess

Help I'm thinking of finally caving to peer pressure and making an account on that other new social media website that's so hot right now, but gosh I seem to have forgotten its name!
