Oh my God, the end of the article is absolute gold ! What a lovely tradition. I'm going to start offering piggyback rides to everyone I meet. Here's an excerpt of Alexia's experiences offering piggyback rides to various nota

My favorite part of this article isn't the content but the author's clever protest against JavaScript by way of progressive "dehancement." Simply disable JavaScript, and the gratuitous loading bars disappear!

Are there any implementations of Knuth-Plass line breaking in HTML or CSS libraries? Maybe in a static site generator?

Right, again, get rid of public keys with zero-knowledge proofs, and you've solved this problem. The only way to screw up is by publicly disclosing which messages are yours. Although, I guess a large part of the problem is that some us

Heh, that's definitely the messier part of this. It all depends on your threat model and the scale of the community you're running. For a small group of trusted friends, one could distribute keys in person and enforce time-based k
