📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/
PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

I work with cryptography but I'm not a cryptologist, so very open to feedback and criticism here. For example, I should probably highlight the weaknesses of this scheme with degenerative plaintext (m=0).

Also would love to hear about fun problems + ways of introducing the topics to young learners~

New R package: gridmappr by Roger Beecham

It automates creating small multiple gridmap layouts by optimally placing geographic points into grid cells (inspired by Jo Wood’s Observable notebooks).

‘Blueskyism’, Political Violence, and Open Social Networks Under Authoritarianism

Why does this matter? Decentralized maps = no single point of failure, offline-first geographic data, and community-owned infrastructure

I always thought the canonical CBOR ordering of RFC7049 and the deterministic CBOR ordering of RFC8949 would be totally incompatible and break things for DAG-CBOR.
It turns out that as long as your keys are strings only, the order is the same.
Thanks @makeworld.space for pointing this out!

I'm happy to announce that today is my first day at the #IPFS Foundation. I'll be working on tooling, #DASL, #IPLD and related tech like #ATProto. With a focus on geo.

So I'm doing more #geospatial things again. Stay tuned #FOSS4G.
