I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of a reference implementation for the Public Key Directory server. This software implements the Key Transparency specification I've been working on since last year, and is an important stepping stone towards secure end-to-end encryption for the Fediverse.

So, my dad was a nurse so he knows how the medical system works very well. I asked him if he could book me a visit last month. He told me the visit was for the 15 of January. Two days ago he goes "Raccoon remember that in two days you have the visit" "You told me it was next month tho..." "WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, why would I book it for January? You only need 15 days to tell at work you need a day off, I booked it for this month!" "Uh. K." So now I was getting ready to go. I get the papers. And I see it. 15 of next month. Now, you may be about to type lol dumb raccoon you could have checked! And you'd be absolutely right. But I still called him to tell him he's a dum dum.
