Discovered while doing ethnographic research for a public library district. I was touring one of their branches when this caught my attention.

It’s genius. Smartest solution I’ve seen for this common problem.

Librarians could save the world if we’d let them. 😉

Any recommendations for books on #DistributedComputing?

I'm primariy looking for a best-practices kind of thing to recognize potential problems early and avoid reinventing wheels.

What the…??? I mean, leaking a signing key to a private GitHub repository is clearly better than leaking it to a public one. But still, I remember a blog post from something like two decades ago about how Mozilla was using hardware tokens for signing, so that the signing keys could not possibly leak. That probably pre-dated their Linux package repositories, so either the concept wasn’t used consistently after that or at some point performance became more important than protecting key material (Mozilla’s infrastructure is producing lots of builds).

@dey The cybersecurity awareness you spread to me starts to itch. It also hurts to pee.

The fastest way to get VIP treatment when you land...seriously, how dumb do you have to be to try something like this? This person on Reddit stole my thoughts verbatim: "committing federal crimes from inside a sealed metal tube that lands exactly where the feds are waiting is certainly a strategy."

@emilymbender @alex I'm sure you'll love it!

@david_chisnall Yeah, "architecting" is not the best word here...

I thought I'm making up a conspiracy theory around NVIDIA deliberately looking for bubbles to inflate - AI turned out to be a great one - after the crypto bubble bursted. It seems @david_chisnall agrees (sort of):

Finally, to close out our short #GitHub tour, a few vintage repositories 🍷 that have aged into historical curiosities and are now (mostly) harmless. Still worth a look as a learning resource, for humans and AI alike 🤖
