Continued thread

and the above should've been on the #taggart thread instead of here, but we've already established that i suck at keeping all my updates to a single thread...

anyway, first issue closed! #lofty worked great, giving me uniform support for *takes a deep breath* #Aac #Aiff #Ape #Flac #Mpeg #Mp4 #Mpc #Opus #Vorbis #Speex #Wav #WavPack 💥

up next: using docs.rs/unicode-width/latest/u to get me some tidy columns - length of some release titles is just delightfully absurd!

docs.rsunicode_width - RustDetermine displayed width of `char` and `str` types according to Unicode Standard Annex #11 and other portions of the Unicode standard. See the Rules for determining width section for the exact rules.

The closure of #Technicolor marks the end of an era for #cinema and visual effects, with over 10,000 layoffs devastating the lives of #artists worldwide. Its subsidiaries #MPC, #TheMill, #Mikros Animation, and Technicolor #Games, were overwhelmed by this decision, leaving projects unfinished and the industry in turmoil. The consequences will be felt for years, resulting in a loss of talent and prolonged instability for the #VFX sector.

Just a heads-up that at the end of March there is a "crypto week" in Sofia, Bulgaria, with a ton of co-located cryptography-related events. I will also give a talk on Shufflecake at OSCW.

Registration for the 2025 Workshop on Real World Multiparty Computation (RWMPC 2025) is now open!

RWMPC 2025 will bring together MPC practitioners and enthusiasts to discuss how MPC is being deployed and used today to solve real world problems. The workshop program will consist of invited and contributed talks on MPC-related topics such as real-world deployments, use cases, standards, security, formal verification, legal/policy implications, and more.

Register here: lu.ma/ou4ax1mm

Call for Contributed Talks: mpcalliance.org/s/RWMPC-2025-C

I wrote a bit about how I setup my music player here with hopefully enough information to replicate it!

jo-chestnut.neocities.org/musi

It looks like the attached screenshot.

I also wrote a while back about analyzing my entire music
collection by year here jo-chestnut.neocities.org/mp3- using exiftools and a ruby script. Last.fm has a similar measure for things you've listened to broken down by decade, so I kinda wanted to bucket it that way, just to see it a little differently. That's the second screenshot, made in numbers.app from exported csv data using the base data from that analysis.

for liboprf i try to implement the robust multiparty multiplication from Genarro,Rabin,Rabin '98. I struggle with implementing a check (the paper calls VSPS property). I asked the original authors 2 months ago, but they don't reply - i guess they're busy. I wrote up the relevant part of the paper, and my confusion and questions in this simple text (best viewed with a fixed with font!): ctrlc.hu/~stef/vsps_check.mail - any help would be appreciated.
