[AWS Architecture] Simplify multi-tenant encryption with a cost-conscious AWS KMS key strategy
Interesting to see how this interoperability problem will keep getting worse with every new protocol we add to the mix...

Just sharing the very bare-bones script I use to make static websites from markdown files. Currently use this for both the https://httpd.rocks and https://openbased.xyz sites:
‘Monty Python’s Life of Brian’ premiered 45 years ago this week, and it’s still one of the funniest, sharpest comedies ever made.

Curious which man-pages on my FreeBSD system were most overloaded:
$ find /usr/local/share/man/ /usr/share/man -type f | sort | awk -F/ '{sub(/\.[^.]*\.gz$/, "", $NF); t=$NF; sec=$(NF-1); k=t SUBSEP sec; if (!(k in seen)){seen[k]; a[t]++ ;s[t] = s[t] " " sec}} END{for (k in a) if (a[k]>1) print a[k], k, s[k]}' | sort -nr | head -5
10 intro man1 man2 man3 man3lua man4 man5 man6 man7 man8 man9
4 random man3 man4 man6 man9
4 jail man2 man3 man3lua man8
4 hash man1 man3 man3lua man9
4 cpuset man1 man2 man3 man9
I should have known intro(n) would have the most, but was interested to see that random(n), jail(n), hash(n) and cpuset(n) all appeared in multiple man-page sections.
『戦争と美術 1937-1945』の論考を読んでいて、いまから20年近く前の論考なんだけど、議論が積み重なっている感じがあんまりないなという感じがする。いま近美の展示でも、美術館当事者、メディアからでてくる声からは、戦争画とはある種の「腫れ物」だという感じがうかがえる。近美は20年前よりは積極的に戦争画を展示・評価してきたけど、それでもずいぶんおっかなびっくり展示しているわけで、またそのおっかなびっくりにいらぬ推測をメディアが書きたててしまう。「もはや戦後ではない」どころか、いまだに傷が癒えていないと思っているからこれだけ腫れ物に触るように扱わざるを得ない。
There's a wonderful Italian poem that starts with the line, "Autumn. We already felt it coming in the August wind..."
Well, for the first time tonight, I'm smelling that "scent" of autumn. And that would make me sad, if autumn didn't mean... EuroBSDCon!
@stefanoStefano Marinelli I thought the same last night ... and when I read your post I wanted to try and see, if I could find that poem.
I think I have found it 😉

Last night we had our monthly meetup and had a great turnout! Amazingly, while about half of the group this month was pretty new to Rust, all of the newcomers were hardcore PL nerds, so we had an absolutely AMAZING time geeking out for 2 hours, and continued the conversation for almost 2 more after the official end at a local bar!
If this looks fun, well, you’re not wrong! Join us next month :)

question to those of you who treat me like a minor celebrity: what would it take for you to stop doing that?
is it my behavior? the platform? intrinsic to being a prolific engineer? something else out of my control?

remembered I had briefly used Notion years ago and I just logged in and found a note I made on September 19th, 2020 that I had just learned the word `doomscroll`

I'll be teaching SMTP and TLS at 
@EuroBSDCon this September. Come say hello.
Of course, you understand that this is merely cover for a gelato expedition. The #eurobsdcon venue has a dozen decent shops within about a kilometer. Excellent planning on their part, obviously.
(While I've used "gelato shop proximity" as a standard for selecting conferences for decades, it was first documented in 2010. https://mwl.io/archives/379 )
Congrats to the Zig team on the 0.15 release! It looks great. Ghostty 1.2 (next month) will remain on 0.14.x. Our 1.3 series will migrate to 0.15. https://ziglang.org/download/0.15.1/release-notes.html
