@Sempf

To understand how this works, it’s easier to think of the “keys” not as objects that fit into a lock, but as two complementary ingredients in an invisible ink. The first ingredient makes messages disappear, and the second makes them reappear. If a spy named Boris wants to send his counterpart Natasha a secret message, he writes a message and then uses the first ingredient to render it invisible on the page. (This is easy for him to do: Natasha has published an easy and well-known formula for disappearing ink.) When Natasha receives the paper in the mail, she applies the second ingredient that makes Boris’ message reappear.

Damn that is elegant.

Rare picture of Sunrise casting the "Water is wet" spell. #catsofmastodon

Fern, the calico, and sunrise, the orange, by the water dish. Sunrise has one paw held over the water as Fern drinks.

Client machines this morning. The one on the left has been on that boot screen for hours. Bonus early #caturday #cloudstrike

Three different laptops on my desk from three different clients. All of them in failure mode when I came down this morning, two with BSOD, in a authentication boot loop.

POV atm. It's like my faithful hunter resting at my feet, after a long morning of hunting. Moles. #catsofmastodon

Fern, our calico, in repose watching the storm come in.

Her majesty deigns to share a puddle with the peasants. #catsofmastodon

Fern, our calico, out in the rain drinking dirty puddle water, as one does.
