The main side project I'm working on now probably won't apply too much to this audience but it's a weekly urbanism news roundup. The idea is to get global examples to inspire local change. Also, after leaving school I still wanted to keep in touch with what's happening around the world and continue learning. https://urbanismnow.com/

Oh, also I'm thinking making a little tool so when craiglist emails you for a saved search it deduplicates it before forwarding it to a chat app. My parents would find it very helpful as they still use craigslist a lot but the duplicate notifications for listings really annoys them.

Building Based Security ( https://www.basedsec.io ), a startup in the zero trust/identity space creating immovable, attestable, hardware backed identities that can be used for strong and continuous authentication but not moved from the device. We can guarantee the user and the device are known, the user is assigned the device they are using, and characteristics of the identity matches the defined policy. The initial…

That's really cool. Are you using OpenSSHes yubikey support or building your own?

We’re leveraging ssh certificates which are backed by keys stored in a variety of hardware. For yubikeys we’re leveraging piv and the standard ssh tooling. We’re determining whether we’ll be able to use a pkcs11 implementation for TPMs and Secure Enclave or whether we’ll need to build a custom agent.

I'm just drawing stuff, including a comic book about a future run by horrible AIs that find they get the best response from humans when they present as horrible, unctuous clowns.

For the last while I've been working on a link sharing site that allows you to follow subsets of someone's tags, rather than the whole person. It's a kind of "alts by default", moving counter to the audience capture of so many social media sites that forces you to over-simplify yourself.

Reverse chronological is sacrosanct, and it will never have ads (there is a recently added subscription option). I plan to do a proper launch soon but I'll admit anyone who signs up to the waitlist from this post.

I've already found so many cool resources from it and we literally just got our 1000th post!

Other fun milestones:

[x] First user I don't know

[x] First paying customer

[x] First user to surpass my usage

[ ] First lynkmi marriage
