If you are concerned with #zoom''s acquisition of #keybase, knowing zooms bad track of dealing with privacy, you have good reasons to do.

If you choose to delete your keybase, account and you’ve got some #stellar coins left inside that you prefer to gift away instead of deleting or knowing it will be for zooms profit, know that we do have a stellar address you can donate to.

I'm going to manufacture a batch of entropy source boards [1] built on the idea of a noisy diode [2].

If you're up for one or just curious about it, please let me know.

Note that they will cost you at least four times the Infinite Noise TRNG [3] and have less features so you should consider if that's a better choice.

I don't usually post links to Twitter, but I haven't found any other place where this announcement has been posted.

For a long time I've been part of a group that has been working towards getting characters from old 8 and 16 bit computers into Unicode. Finally, after many interactions with the Unicode committees it has finally been approved.

How Britain stole $45 trillion from India. And lied about it.
– by Jason Hickel

Humble bundle are currently doing a "Learn you some code" pack.

I'm willing to sponsor one pack for someone who can't afford this but would find it useful (no explanations it proofs needed, I'll assume you are honest). Just respond with your email address where to send the gift code to - should there be more than one request I'll do a random draw.
