Friday Squid Blogging: Sqids

Sqids is an open-source library that lets you generate YouTube-looking IDs from numbers.

I haven't dug into the details enough to know how they can be guaranteed to be collision-free.
As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven't covered.
