Don't bother with cookies at all unless they serve the interests of the user. And in that rare case, only do a cookie banner if required by law, and here's how to do it: just prete…

Among other changes 10.4 adds post-quantum keys (composite ML-DSA 44 and Ed25519), not enabled by default. When pq key agreement was added in 2019, it took almost 3 years for it to…

It's been a while now but once out of curiousity I tested the text to speech functionality (with my eyes closed) on an iPhone and another device (a laptop maybe?), and found iOS to…

> Also maybe of interest is that the new cdb subdomain is using pqconnect instead of dnscurve This is not correct. There isn't a cdb subdomain because cdb.cr.yp.to doesn't have NS …
