QSNS2026 will be co-located with the 31st IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications, June 23-26, 2026, Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal.
The third edition of QSNS workshop is a joint initiative of the QUBIP, PQ-React, PQ-NEXT, POSEIDON, QARC, and Q-FENCE projects, co-funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe framework programme on the transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) of protocols, networks, and systems.
I am glad to announce the 3rd Workshop on Quantum-Secure Networks and Systems (QSNS2026) colocated with IEEE ISCC 2026.

An infographic titled "How To Write Alt Text" featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads "A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara's head."
An infographic. There are six panels. 1. "Slow internet. Alt text is shown in place of unloaded images." a drawing shows a phone with poor signal, and alt text is visible where the image should have loaded. 2. "Findabillity. Alt text helps to search content." A drawing shows someone searching 'dog with banana' and a post is shown underneath without the words 'dog' or 'banana'. It is implied to be part of the alt text. 3. "Screen readers. Alt is read out to people using text-to-speech software". There is a drawing of the output a screen-reader would show when viewing an image with alt text on bluesky. 4. "Translation. Alt text can be translated". A drawing shows a post being translated. The alt text is also translated into german. 5. "Readability. Text in images can be made legible" There is a drawing of some truly awful handwriting inside a speech bubble. The alt text clarifies what the text is supposed to say. 6. "Disambiguation. Description helps clarify intent." There is a drawing of a post with a picture of a creature. This is styled after the famous optical illusion of a rabbit and a duck. The alt text clarifies that the animal is a rabbit. It definitely looks more like a duck.
anyways, hereβs a how and a why explainer for alt text.
the US government decided accessibility was βcatering to the weakβ as part of the MAHA eugenics agenda. donβt post like those fucking nazi pricks.

New paper(!) on the "clubcard" data structure that we're using for WebPKI revocation checks in Firefox.
A clubcard is a membership test for an r element subset of an n element set. Size is ~1.13 log(n choose r) bits. Or (better!) ~1.13 Ξ£ log(n_i choose r_i) where i indexes blocks of a partition.
