I Am Parting With My Crypto Library July 30, 2021
The time has come for me to find a new home for my (paper) cryptography library.

Commercial Location Data Used to Out Priest July 23, 2021
A Catholic priest was outed through commercially available surveillance data. Vice has a good analysis: The news starkly demonstrates not only the inherent power of location data, but how the chance to wield that power has trickled down from corporations and intelligence agencies to essentially any sort of disgruntled, unscrupulous, or dangerous individual.
