Sybren A. Stüvel<p>😿 I just archived my Python-RSA project, one I (and a few fellow students) started 20 years ago. It's been used in many projects, including some high-profile ones, which is fantastic and scary at the same time. That's also why I chose to not hand over the keys to someone else. Instead, I archived the project, to be forked and brought to a new life under a new name.</p><p><a href="https://stuvel.eu/post/2025-04-16-python-rsa-archived/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stuvel.eu/post/2025-04-16-pyth</span><span class="invisible">on-rsa-archived/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>python</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rsa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rsa</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LifeCycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LifeCycle</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/sad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sad</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/relief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>relief</span></a></p>

Continued thread

6. 7/8 🌐📚 Future prospects: there was so little biochemical data for our specific proteins, we had to rely on genome-wide data (PBMs). We could then estimate Kd for ANY sequence. That means, also for sequence variants.

Our earlier Framework Model v2 (FMv2) and FM-Life models link the clock right up, through plant metabolism, growth, development and physiology, to seed-to-seed adaptation in real weather.

Anyone who assembles these parts gets to predict how an Arabidopsis genome sequence variant will be adapted to climatic conditions. With a full causal chain. The mechanisms of evolutionary adaptation.👀 #GoForIt

Sure it’s simplified and there’s much to validate but it’s there. DNA-binding Kd is just where we started, there’s more known biochemistry to add.

@luis_in_brief agreed. I am stepping off of the notion of being FOSS activist in the traditional sense of the word.

#FOSS in a new definition I reserve solely to arranging the #copyright and other #legal matters relating to the delivered artifacts of a project.

Then the real deal is #SOSS where a holistic #sustainability-first approach is taken to #FreeSoftware #development, that covers the entire #lifecycle.. from hobby #project up to foundational #technology or mega #SocialWeb platform.

@rysiek @agturcz that's not how you fix #TechIlliteracy, espechally since things changed for the better.

@monocles / #monoclesChat & @gajim / #gajim are quite easy, whereas @signalapp / #Signal demands #PII in the form of a #Phone number which is more often than not not legally obtainable without "#KYC" aka. "forced #SelfDoxxing" all whilst being an extremely #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solution that falls under #CloudAct ant thus cannot adhere to #GDPR & #BDSG!

Otherwise we'd only perpetuate the #Enshittification-#Lifecycle as has happened with #AIM, #ICQ, #BBM and so many more...

  • Mark my words, cuz I've been proven correct up to this point.

If #Signal and @Mer__edith actually cared, they would've setup their system truly decentralized as an #OnionService over @torproject / #Tor!

Mastodon 🐘Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦 (@rysiek@mstdn.social)@kkarhan@infosec.space I ran and hosted a bunch of XMPP servers a while back. It was a pain to use, and it was easy for users to make mistakes and accidentally send messages in the clear. You are making people les safe.

“Ultimately, the sound you get out of any instrument is yourself. The instrument is only a small percentage of it all. The rest is how you touch it, what your left hand does, what your right hand does, what you hear in your head, and the heart and soul that you put into your performance. Those things allow you to find your sound on any instrument you pick up.” - Dave Holland

Check out the second half of our conversation with the legendary Dave Holland. The bassist will be performing with his New Quartet - with Kris Davis, Jaleel Shaw, and Nasheet Waits- at SMOKE Jazz Club from September 4th to September 8th.
