@niplav thank you, we got there eventually

@be @niplav @Dee That's a very productive cat.

For a laugh I suggested bitcoin mining using cats, catnip and cat flaps to generate static electricity and mine bitcoins once at a competition to suggest ludicrous startup ideas.

I set up a "catcam" in my garden (with a spare CCTV camera from work) and was considering using it as an entropy generator for an RNG, but discovered there was a non random pattern to the cats, they seemed to share territory near exactly an hour apart (so you would see a different cat every hour). I had to return the camera in the end as it was needed for a new build, and a tortoiseshell cat (who also visits my house) has commandeered the garden mostly for herself..

So timeshare is a thing in the natural world 😉

The BBC did a similar experiment in 2014 with 50 cats (some carrying their own GPS collars and cameras) and found much the same to be happening 😺

@vfrmedia @onepict @be @niplav @Dee that's the best thing I've read all day.

@onepict @be @niplav @Dee where do I sign up?

@niplav @Dee @be me irl

@niconiconi @niplav I plan to do that for my next one (current one expires in December), and I expect it will break things in new and exciting ways if it's ed25519 only

@Dee @niconiconi @niplav I haz curves, works fine except for things like IndieAuth.

@Dee @niconiconi @niplav I made an ed25519 SSH key but it doesn't work on half the stuff I connect to so I also made an rsa key and now I'm using both at the same time and could have saved everyone some time by just using rsa

@rune @niconiconi @niplav I've been using ed25519 SSH keys for a while and haven't had problems, but then openssh has had ed25519 support for longer than gpg (though I think both supported the government curves beforehand)
