suppose I want a Rust library for cryptography (the usual stuff: encryption and signing with public, private and symmetric keys), and I want something at least as high-level as libsodium. what can I pick that's not gonna make cryptography experts yell at me. there seem to be too many libraries that try to fill this niche

today: a miracle. the OpenGL ES code I wrote yesterday worked on Android without any changes
also today: suffering. SDL2's handling of orientation is a terrible fit for touchHLE. sigh

HOLY SHIT apparently I just fixed touchHLE's mysterious 0.2MB-per-second memory leak on macOS??? by accident??????

I still have no idea what the actual problem is but now I have good reason to think it's a bug in Apple's OpenGL driver. lol

wow gotosocial supports custom emoticons.

media in the Nordics are currently acting like it's a huge revelation that there's lots of Russian spies here that operate under diplomatic cover.

I wish they'd be honest about the fact this is normal, the security services know, and there's good reasons for not expelling them.

oh no i have new followers. ok let’s see

on x64 Linux, uint64_t is an alias of unsigned long, but on x64 macOS, uint64_t is an alias of unsigned long long. this doesn’t matter for C code, but it interacts badly with C++ overload resolution, even though sizeof(long) == sizeof(long long) on both systems. fun!

found out about “GNU poke” by chance and, wow, what a useful tool. an interactive editor/inspector for arbitrary structured binary data. this is going to save me so much time in future https://jemarch.net/poke

the C preprocessor and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
