At the beginning of 2030, I found this essay in my archives. From what I know today, I think it was very insightful at the moment of writing. And I feel it should be published because it can teach us, Rust developers, how to prevent that sad story from happening again.

What killed Haskell, could kill Rust, too

What killed Haskell, could kill Rust, too. Why would I even mention Haskell in this context? Well, Haskell and Rust are deeply related. Not because Rust is Haskell without HKTs. (Some of you know what that means, and the rest of you will wonder for a very long time). Much of the style of Rust is similar in many ways to the style of Haskell. In some sense Rust is a reincarnation of Haskell, with a little bit of C-ish like syntax, a very small amount.

Is Haskell dead?

SKS Keyserver Network Attack: Consequences

Back in late February, the Internet Freedom Festival put together a roundtable of communications security nerds to help dissidents in Venezuela figure out how to organize and communicate in the face of widespread DNS poisoning. I contributed a brief HOWTO explaining what the Maduro regime was doing and some simple, effective mitigations. At the very top of the HOWTO was a paragraph of security considerations. Chief among them was a caution that this document came with an OpenPGP digital signature: before relying on the information in the document they ought ensure nobody had tampered with it, either to install malware into the PDF or to alter the advice I was giving.

I put this HOWTO out in the wild. I've had four people send me thank-you notes for writing it. I figure that means it's been seen by between fo

Terminological Note

"OpenPGP" refers to the OpenPGP protocol, in much the same way that HTML refers to the protocol that specifies how to write a web page. "GnuPG", "SequoiaPGP", "OpenPGP.js", and others are implementations of the OpenPGP protocol in the same way that Mozilla Firefox, Google Chromium, and Microsoft Edge refer to software packages that process HTML data.

Prerequisites

• smart card reader supported by GnuPG

  I use [0.332][4], a mod of the [SCM332 V2][1] which is comparatively light and small. Previously, I was simply using the SCM332 V2 directly with an OTG adapter.

• root access from Termux

# REQUIRES:
# * rooted android, as otherwise you can't read the applications private data
# * to display the qr code "qrencode" (http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/)
#   and "display" from ImageMagick

# This script "decrypts" the token from the internal state of the

# it into an "otpauth" url (https://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/wiki/KeyUriFormat)
