Overwhelm: The Survival Guide [Shared]

Feeling overwhelmed with work and personal tasks is one of the biggest problems that the people I work with are facing.
It turns out, our lives can be pretty overwhelming.

There’s so much to do, never enough time to do it, and who knows what we should be focusing on? We’re always behind, barely treading water. That’s our usual experience of life, it seems.

What can we do? It turns out, there are some powerful things we can practice with overwhelm, and there are some practical things we can do as well.

What follows is meant to be a kind of survival guide - not only how to survive your overwhelming life, but how to turn it into a life of joy and impact.

There are a lot of things below, which ironically can be overwhelming. Pick one, and try it.

@djb (Daniel J. Bernstein) tooted about a new blog post[1] he published. It's here:
https://blog.cr.yp.to/20250118-flight.html

It's interesting. He's a #mathematician and software guy that in more recent years has been known mostly for his work in #cryptography, #theoretical and #practical. You're probably using his #Curve25519 every day in your #communications.

I'm not a mathematician (by a long shot), but it's written in a pretty accessible manner - it's not #formulae and #turgid academic #prose.

The central point he's getting at, by my possibly-mistaken understanding of it, is that current "common sense" about when attacks against pre-quantum cryptography like #RSA (and therefore when post-quantum cryptography becomes critical) are badly mistaken - based on bad assumptions about how attacks work, how they're implemented, and on badly #extrapolating from those bad assumptions using logic that doesn't actually represent the way attacks are developed and become practical.

TL;DR is something along the lines of "#quantum cryptographic attacks against RSA will be practical sooner than most people think, and you should be deploying quantum-resistant cryptography now, not later".

It's worth reading if you're at all interested in #crypto and #security stuff.

He also mentions a project he's involved in that has been discussed separately, transparent post-quantum tunnelling for unmodified #server and #client #software. Link in post.

[1] Written more like a conference presentation, FWIW.

Is #FollowFriday a thing on here? Looking for fellow #artist / #maker / #creative / #practical types. From #scotland and beyond.

Just an illiustration of the real and practical use of AI, if you don't want to spend 40 minutes on an excellent talk on EU digital identity, dowload the MP3 file,

Upload it in NotebookLM and let it make an overview document (text), i checked it, a very good summary.
