La diabolica complessità del bombardiere che fu impiegato per condannare Hiroshima e Nagasaki - Il blog di Jacopo Ranieri

What do you think of imitation and lab-grown meats?
Recently tried an Impossible burger and nuggets and thought that if nobody told me it wasn't meat, I'd have thought the patty was made out of a weird kind of meat, rather than make a connection with the taste and texture of plants. Honestly, I might not complain if that was the only kind of "meat" I could have for the rest of my life.
Well, maybe I'd miss bacon.
I've yet to find the opportunity to try lab-grown meat, but I for sure would like to try it out and don't see much wrong with it as long as it's sustainable, reasonably priced, and doesn't have anything you wouldn't expect in a normal piece of meat.
Also, with imitation and lab-grown options, I'd no longer have to deal with the disgust factor of handling raw meat (esp. the juices) or biting into gristle. I'll happily devour a hot dog, but something about an unexpected bit of cartilage gives me a lingering sense of revulsion.

@davew asks us to Think Different about WordPress, and reflects on the future of WordPress, and interfaces to interact with WordPress, whether it is to create or to consume content from a WordPress site. He talks about WordPress in comparison to social networks like Bluesky or Mastodon. It’s a compelling vision, and that comparison is very appropriate at a time where it’s easier than ever to turn a WordPress site into a Fediverse presence, thanks to the work of @pfefferle and @obenland on the ActivityPub plugin. My home on the web is my WordPress site, and I’m still very happy with that choice.
Dave has been working hard on a new way to interact with your WordPress site: an opinionated, minimalist editor built with writers in mind. As I watch WordLand grow, I can’t help but think about my beginnings with WordPress, more specifically with third-party WordPress editors.
Where did the all the third-party editors go?
15+ years ago, third-party editors weren’t just nice to have. They were essential. If you were a serious blogger, you probably used MarsEdit on your Mac, or Windows Live Writer on PC. Those 2 editors were probably the biggest third-party editors for WordPress at the time, and were built on top of WordPress’ XML-RPC API. It worked well, except when your hosting provider blocked XML-RPC altogether as a quick fix to avoid XML-RPC pingbacks being used to DDoS sites! That API is still around, and is a good testament for WordPress’ promise of backwards compatibility.
Not only did those editors work well, they were a great alternative to the default post editor in WordPress, which, frankly, sucked for writers using it every day. I remember using it almost exclusively with the “code” view to avoid the dreaded HTML adjustments in the visual editor.
Over the years, MarsEdit and Windows Live Writer slowly disappeared, and a few other options appeared. Here are a few that come to mind:
- Ulysses for Apple users.
- iAWriter for minimalist / focussed writers.
- The Google docs to WordPress browser extension
- StackEdit for Markdown fans.
- Zoho Writer
Fast-forward to today, I don’t think any of those options are that popular anymore. WordPress’ classic editor is still around, but there is a new(-ish) kid on the block with the Gutenberg editor. That editor is still very divisive, especially for folks used to editors of the past.
But if Gutenberg is so problematic, why haven’t third-party editors made a comeback? I have a few theories.
Maybe it’s just “good enough”?
Maybe, despite all its flaws, Gutenberg crossed a critical threshold. It’s not perfect, but it does the job, better than the classic editor did back when third-party editors were necessary, even if some still struggle to adopt the new editor.
Did Elementor and other page builders take over the third-party editor market?
Page builders like Elementor have become increasingly popular in the past 10 years. For many new WordPress users, they’re the default post editor interface, they’re the definition of “editing in WordPress” for many. They offer many more visual editing options that third-party editors just cannot offer.
Maybe the market for text-focused editors shrank because WordPress itself pivoted away from text?
Maybe, once again, “blogging is dead”?
While WordPress was largely viewed as a blogging platform 15 years ago, it’s no longer the case today. It powers online stores, small and large business sites, portfolios, and more.
For such site owners, there is no need for an external editor. In fact, there is often no need for posts at all.
Custom blocks can only be managed in the core editor
This may be my number 1 theory. 15 years ago, shortcodes were the most popular way to add custom content to your WordPress posts. This could be done from a third-party editor with no issues.
Nowadays, many plugins offer blocks that are useful for bloggers. Calls to Action, ads, newsletter popups, social media embeds, … They’re not just formatting tools, they’re useful every day, and they’re all available natively in the core editor. A third-party editor can’t replicate them without rebuilding half of WordPress.
Writers may choose the core editor because using anything else may mean losing traffic and revenue tools.
Copy/paste is just better than it was
Third-party editors focused on publishing to WordPress may have become obsolete because there are so many other editors out there, none of them publishing to WordPress. Folks can write in Obsidian, Notion, ChatGPT, … and then copy / paste the output into the core editor. The Gutenberg editor is now a lot more capable of picking up the right format on paste.
Editing consequently happens in custom tools not dedicated to publishing. WordPress is just the final step, the publishing pipeline.
Platforms now offer more than an editor
I think there is another force at play that directly challenges Dave’s vision: the rise of bundled publishing platforms like Substack.
Platforms like Substack don’t just offer an editor. They offer you an audience. Your posts can be promoted to Substack readers that are already logged in, can receive newsletters via email, are used to rely on Substack for their daily reading, and have payment methods saved and available in one click to pay you.
This goes against Dave’s ideas of interop and open standards like RSS, because as a creator you don’t have to think about any of that anymore. Instead of thinking about their content flowing freely between platforms with things like ActivityPub or RSS, folks can pick a walled garden where there is no friction. You don’t have to worry about an editor, plugins, you don’t have to know what RSS or ActivityPub is. You can just focus on publishing and trust the platform to do the rest.
“Trust” is the operative word here. You lose a lot of control over your content and your workflow. You lose ownership and data portability, but you may gain something that matters a lot more to you: the eyes of an audience through recommendation engines built by the platform to keep their readers there, and monetization tools to make money from your audience.
What This Means for WordLand
I think Dave’s WordLand faces a lot of those challenges, like the other third-party editors I mentioned above. It’s not just a technical challenge though ; it’s a challenge to build something with values that differ from some of the popular platforms out there, like Substack or Bluesky.
That’s not to say it cannot work. 🙂 There will always be a group of people who value content ownership and the open web. In my experience, that group of people actually blogs quite a bit!
I consider myself one of those people. The web still means something special to me.

How Quantum Computers are gonna screw us
reshared this
So much fear mongering and incorrect statements... and I'm only 3 minutes in. I can't...
Nearly all encryption mechanism currently in use on the modern internet is quantum resistant. Breaking RSA-2048 would require millions of stable, error-corrected qubits. I believe the biggest systems right now are at 500 bits at most.
The NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography project has finalized new quantum-resistant algorithms like CRYSTALS-Kyber and Dilithium. These will replace RSA and ECC long before practical quantum attacks exist. Migration has already started.
Symmetric cryptography is mostly safe. Algorithms like AES, SHA-2, SHA-3, and similar remain secure against quantum attacks. Grover's algorithm can halve their effective key strength. Example: AES-256 becomes as secure as AES-128 against a quantum attacker. To crack on AES-128 hash with current efficiency you need ~88TW of power... Even if we make it 10 or 100x more efficient over time... It's too expensive. We don't have the resources to power anything big enough to crack aes-128... The biggest nuclear reactor (Taishan) only puts out a mere 1,660MWe...
It's not happening in our lifetimes. and probably not at all until we start harvesting stars.
Edit: Several typos.
Edit 2: For the AES-256 example that get's reduced to AES-128. It would take implementing efficiencies that reduce power usage by 1000x (there's a few methods that might get worked out in our lifetimes... lets just take them as functional right now). Then you'd need 55 of the biggest nuclear reactors we have on the planet... Then you wait a year for the computer to finish the compute. That decrypts one key.
Weaker keys might be a problem. Sure. But by the time we're there... it won't matter. For things like Singal, Matrix, or anything else that's actively developed... Someone might store the conversation on some massive datacenter out there... And might decrypt it 200 years from now. That's your "risk"... Long after everyone reading this message is dead.
Edit 3: Because I hadn't looked at it in a few months... I decided to check in on Let's Encrypt's (LE) "answer" to it. Since that's what most people here are probably interested in and using. First... remember that Let's Encrypt rotates keys every 90 days. So for your domain, there's 4 keys a year to crack at a minimum. Except that acme services like to register near the halfway point... So more realistically 8 keys a year to decrypt a years worth of data. But it turns out that browsers already have the PQC projects done... And many certificate registrars already support it as well. OpenSSL also supports it from 3.5.0+...
community.letsencrypt.org/t/ro…
developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/…
Apparently LE is even moving to MUCH shorter certs... letsencrypt.org/2025/02/20/fir… 6 days... So a new key every half-week (remember acme clients want to renew about halfway through the cycle)... or ~100 keys a year to break. Even TODAY, you're not going to need to worry about "weak" encryption for decades. It will take time for the quantum resources to come available... it will take time to go through the backlog of keys that they are interested in decrypting EVEN IF they're storing 100% of data somewhere. You WILL be long dead before they can even have the opportunity to care about you and your data... The "200 years from now" above reference... is assuming that humans can literally harvest suns for power and break really really big problems in the quantum field. It's really going to be on the order of millennia if not longer before your message to your mom from last year gets decrypted. LE doesn't have PQC on the roadmap quite yet... Probably because they understand there's still some time before it even matters and they want to wait a bit until the cryptography around the new mechanisms is more hashed out.
Edit4: At this point I feel that this post needs a TL;DR...
If you're scared.... rotate keys regularly, the more you rotate, the more keys will have to be broken to get the whole picture... Acme services (Let's Encrypt) already do this. You'll be fine with current day technology long after (probably millennia) your dead. No secret you're hiding will matter 1000 years from now.
Edit5: Fuck... I need to stop thinking about this... but I just want to point out one more thing... It's actually likely that in the next 100 (let alone 1000s of years) that a few bits will rot in your data on their cluster that they're storing. So even IF they manage to store it... and manage to get a cluster big enough that either takes so little power that they can finally power it... or get a power source that can rival literal suns. A few bits flipped here and there will happen... Your messages and data will start to scramble over time just by the very nature of... well... nature... Every sunflare. Every gravitational anomaly. Every transmission from space or gamma particle... has a chance to OOPS a 0 into a 1 or vice versa. Think of every case you've heard of Amazon or Facebook accidentally breaking BGP for their whole service and they're down for hours... Over the course of 100 years... your data will likely just die, or get lost, be forgotten, get broken, etc... The longer it takes for them to figure this out (and science is NOT on their side on this matter) the less likely they even have a chance to recover anything, let alone decrypt it in a timely matter to resolve anything in our lifetimes.
Roadmap Request: Post Quantum Cryptography
That's not really the issue currently, harvest now, decrypt later is an issue though. To some extent. 🙂 By the way, key exchange is part of TLS 😉 And also: browsers would also need to support any post-quantum key exchange, not just the webserver.Let's Encrypt Community Support
It's also the only post of this account...
Edit: sorry only checked posts, there are multiple comments
I believe the biggest systems right now are at 500 bits at most.
Why this is an issue: add one more to the chain of entangled qbits and the whole chain is twice as likely to collapse.
This would also work with Bashir, O'Brien, and Garak

l’amore 2d e gli oggetti orientifici, ma quello che accade non fa divertire (test e valutazioni prestazioni OOP su Love2D)
Visti gli imprevisti con HaxeFlixel che non ho ancora avuto il tempo di elaborare qui, stavo (ri)considerando il basato Love2D che, ultimamente mi sono (ri)accorta, gira su talmente tante piattaforme da rendere inutile anche fare degli esempi qui. La cosa seccante di quel coso, però, è che non è esattamente un motore di gioco, quanto più un framework multimediale… e quindi, a differenza di Flixel e altri robini, non ha tutte le varie utilità che è bene avere per poter sviluppare qualcosa senza partire dallo zero assoluto… e quindi, l’idea sarebbe di creare una specie di motorino per esso per gestire cose comuni come sprite, fisica, boh, queste cose (non) belle. 🤥Ovviamente, il problema inevitabile è sorto immediatamente dopo una giornata di lavoro iniziale — a dire il vero, fatta per fortuna con le pinze, perché ero sotto sotto pronta a vedere cose storte accadere — e cioè che, con una dose di OOP in realtà nemmeno troppo grossa per gli standard comuni, le prestazioni sono crollate così tanto a picco che, per un semplice giochino di Breakout (la demo di HaxeFlixel, che ho adattato strada facendo per testare), da un lato su PC l’uso di CPU si aggirava attorno al 10-15% (che è tipo il quintuplo di cosa fa la stessa demo in HaxeFlixel)… mentre, su piattaforme pazzurde come il 3DS era letteralmente ingiocabile, facendo 5 secondi a frame (e pensare che io ho il new, che è più veloce). 💀
Ho fatto un po’ di ricerca e — per quanto fosse a me comunque ovvio che una programmazione ad oggetti basata principalmente sull’ereditarietà rende un programma più lento, perché i sassi elettronici sono fatti per eseguire istruzioni sequenziali e lavorare con memoria quanto più continua possibile, che è il contrario di cosa succede con tutte quelle classi che estendono classi che estendono il mercato che mio padre comprò — non immaginavo che su Lua il calo prestazionale fosse tale da essere non solo evidente, ma proprio fuori scala in certi casi. E ora, dunque, i problemi sono grossissimi. 😤
Anche stavolta ho raccolto molti link a riguardo di questa ennesima causa di sofferenza per me, e in realtà ancora non ho capito bene la questione, ma un grande problema sembra essere causato dagli accessi a tabelle nidificate, e alle chiamate di funzioni fatte più del necessario anche per operazioni altrimenti veloci… e nel mio caso certamente una buona parte di overhead in questo senso sarà causata dal fatto di non scrivere Lua nativo, bensì usare Haxe (o in alternativa, TypescriptToLua) per traspilare a Lua, ma sentivo che il problema non poteva essere solo il codice bloattato generato da questi affari… 🧨
E infatti, scrivendo in Lua puro un piccolo benchmark (battezzato al volo solo per dare un titolo al memo: “Love2D fucking rectangles“, genera innumerevoli rettangoli e li fa muovere calcolando le collisioni), prima in modo classico e poi con un minimo di OOP, ed eseguendolo oltre i limiti del ragionevole, ho visto le cose brutte: la versione OOP è in effetti più lenta. Non tanto più lenta, e comunque dipende dalle opzioni con cui la si fa girare, ma solo perché è comunque molto semplice… a differenza del motorino che tanto vorrei creare per replicare la API di HaxeFlixel in Love2D per quanto possibile (evidentemente, non molto possibile). 😭
Dopo ben 4 (quattro) immagini non so se ho voglia di elaborare oltre… Ma, in sostanza: in una modalità, il programma genera solo X (200mila) rettangoli all’avvio, mentre nell’altra ne genera X (200) a frame, andando all’infinito, calcolando sempre le collisioni… e quindi con la prima si esclude una lentezza dovuta alla continua istanziazione di oggetti, mentre la seconda da modo di vedere come un programma rallenta nel tempo rispetto all’altro (generando meno oggetti a parità di tempo). 💥Nella prima modalità, il carico è basato principalmente sull’accesso alla chiamata draw, quindi non potevo limitare il numero di quadrati effettivamente visibili, e quindi ho potuto eseguirla solo su PC, dove si nota in media un rallentamento di circa il doppio per la versione OOP, che accede a svariate proprietà nidificate per fare il disegno… Mentre, nella seconda la prova il carico era più il resto, quindi ho deciso di limitare il numero di rettangoli visibili a schermo ad ogni frame agli ultimi X (500), e questo mi ha permesso di eseguire il programma pure sul 3DS senza che crashasse (credo ci siano limiti di VRAM lì), ma sia su PC che su 3DS si vede che la versione non-OOP riesce a generare in media 1,2 sprite in più per delta di tempo, differenza che nel corso di minuti diventa di migliaia di sprite. 😵
Incredibile, spassoso, magicante, ma… e adesso??? Boh! Dovrò ingegnarmi pesantemente per creare un motorino sufficientemente generalizzato da poter essere usato come comoda libreria per molti giochi Love2D, ma che allo stesso tempo sia efficiente… ma qui casca l’asino, perché per implementare concetti come uno sprite, che oltre ai classici dati come posizione X e Y ha un oggetto “disegnabile”, che può essere un’immagine o una forma geometrica, che quindi richiede chiamate della API Love2D completamente diverse dietro le quinte, non vedo alternativa non incasinata se non l’OOP; ma non basterà usare più la composizione che l’ereditarietà, bensì per sconfiggere l’overhead serviranno mosse di design interne talmente scomode che ho davvero tanta paura anche solo a pensare di scriverle… 😱

Replacing TV and movie streaming services is pretty trivial, and typically one of the first projects for any new self-hoster, but music streaming services are a whole different beast. There's a growing need to replace the likes of Spotify, but there's no one-size-fits-all solution, and maintaining an on-disk music library will always be a lot of manual work. That being said, I've put together a stack that I'm happy with for now, and there was some interest in the full details, so I'll try to slap together a tutorial here.

New Rules Going into Effect
Hello!
As you might already know or have seen if you browse the local feed of our instance, we are going to be putting into effect some tighter rules around what sort of communities will be allowed on this instance. Mostly just saying this is a literature focused instance so we want literature focused communities on here. I've reached out to all of the moderators of the communities that will be disallowed going forward and they have graciously agreed to start their migration. I do want to say we appreciate whole-heartily how understanding everyone has been with this change. This is going to be a rolling change, I don't except compliance immediately to all who are affected. I have updated the rules in the sidebar, but we will work with a rolling schedule to allow for migrations.
- Please keep instance-hosted communities related to literature and literature topics.
This is the new rule. This only affects communities, you can of course use your accounts on here to interact with other communities in the fediverse. I don't think I needed to say that, but I guess better safe than sorry? Please feel free to reach out with any suggestions!
Thank you!
FRYD
