There was more money in showing you things than there was in helping you find things.
If you ever watched any of the saturday morning, over the air, wrestling “news” shows in the 80s and 90s, then that’s all everything is now. There used to be a pretty good article about it.

Good luck blocking SSH. At that point you are looking at just banning computers and networks.
“After blocking every other possible avenue of children having unstructured, unmonitored communications with each other, they have now learned ‘UNIX’ just to spite us! To that end we will now be banning all computers. Think of the children!”

Nothing crazy. I wouldn’t try to invest it someway to get mo money, beyond an interest bearing savings account, because chances are good I’d lose it.
The first one is a Vanguard US bond fund that pays around 4% to 5% annual dividend on a monthly basis, and the second one is a Vanguard Total World Stock Market fund (captures a piece of the entire world market). A savings account now is paying around 0.38%. So on $5mil if you put it all in BND it’d pay around $200k annually. In a savings account it’d pay $19k, and savings accounts are only insured up to $250k.
The bond fund is taxed as ordinary income, so you could sit down and decide if something like VTEB would be better than BND (lower yield but 0% federal income taxes). It really doesn’t take much to beat a savings account, and it doesn’t take long at all to start working around taxes.
Whichever one you wind up with, Dolphin as a file manager blows the monstrosity that windows has out of the water. For someone who’s eeked out some power/efficiency out of windows usage it should be very pleasant finding out the standard software available for Linux these can almost always make you more efficient with less effort.
The “twisted pair” part of it makes it work like coax at the frequencies it uses unless you bend it too much.
He’s been making Alton Brown Cooks Food for almost a year now. I recommend going through starting with episode 1 at least on the first pass. Maybe watch the videos on your own before sitting down with kiddo? That’s up to you.
Ah. That’s a misunderstanding on my part, and a good news story. Still don’t want to wake up tomorrow and see a published AES break, though.
A MITM doesn’t require decrypting. It just requires telling a convincing enough lie to each side of a conversation that they think they’re talking to the other party. Then you end up encrypting to their key which they can just read. That’s different from breaking the encryption.
Are you sure they can’t decrypt?
No, and none of the state actors who do that kind of stuff will ever tell you. Watch The Imitation Game for a good/bad time and some context.
If you had a break for the modern crypto schemes and published it right now you would shut down all digital commerce, a lot of the spy traffic if not most of it1, and nothing could be started back up again until everything was redone from scratch. Best hope would be that the post quantum algorithms2 the cryptographers have aren’t succeptible to whatever you did to break the existing algorithms. It’d take a bit to get the software implementations and keys in place, etc. The hardware stuff would take longer.
There are some good books on child (and adult) psychology that explain it better than I will here.
But there’s this other book that says to ignore them and beat them when they’re too annoying to ignore. It’s called the bibble or something. Jeezus wrote it.
Is there a magazine in that one? Trigger discipline at least looks good.
FWIW, every Node.js distro I’ve ever used leveraged OpenSSL for those, under the hood. I imagine other runtimes do too.
I hope so. Crypto is a weirder beast than some things because numbers can look random and not be without much, much deeper inspection: https://www.openbsd.org/papers/bsdcan14-libressl/mgp00001.html
No idea what the Google login thing was. If I had to take a wild guess, maybe you found some place that also offers some key management/signing features as a way to make things more user friendly?
I’ll buy that. I just have trouble squaring things like that with things like gpg-agent and how they cache passphrases and keep them from swapping to disk, etc. I’d want to know more about it and whether it’s generated in the browser or on the server. I’m also not even sure how I’d go about doing some sort of review of the javascript algorithms or where their random numbers come from. I’m not throwing shade on them; I just don’t know.
iris.to […] Primal.net
I’ll look.
Hard pass for me I think on nostr. The signup says to continue with google (heard of 'em) or NIP-07 (not heard of 'em), and the generate nsec button offers me an opportunity to download “my” private key. The file has a keypair and a helpful message that I can share the public key, and that I should never share the private key that it just sent me.
Maybe there’s something I’m missing, but all the previous systems I’m used to use that to mean that you generate the keypair yourself, and then you can post the public key publicly while you should always keep the private key private which breaks the guarantee of the math that only the person with the private key can undo the message that the public key locked.
I feel like there’s something I’m not understanding.
Correct, except I signed my public key. You now have cryptographic proof that I’m me. And as me, you can take my word for it that I only made that key to see what signed messages would look like on lemmy so that I could post in these sorts of situations and so that I could test Kleopatra. It’s not intended to be used for anything serious.
It should also enable anyone who wanted to send an encrypted message to me to do so.

We could all do it today. The technology has existed for a
very long time now. We somehow allowed the market to get to
a point where the crypto mostly benefits the corporations
using people as a product.

An investment that would pay off if the tech industry went to hell would be Put options on QQQ (an ETF that tracks the NASDAQ-100). You have to get both the timing and the drop correct, and better funded groups with much faster computers AND the ability to make trades to prop up the market while they unload their shit will be competing against you (every options trade has an opposite side and most of them expire worthless). Watch the movies Margin Call and The Big Short for research as much as playing the lottery can be researched (they’re good movies so it’s time well spent anyway). Make a movie night out of it and watch The Other Guys which was directed by the same guy who directed The Big Short. Watch through the end credits.
I didn’t read the article because gizmodo, but as other people here have said, Dr. Burry (he’s played by Christian Bale in The Big Short) often thinks things are going to go south, and there’s usually reason to think so, but in general as Warren Buffett could easily have said, “stonks only go up.” NVDA, AAPL, and MSFT make around 15% or so of the entire world stock market and around 20% of the US market. Nobody’s going to let them collapse and even without the AI craze they still have all the other stuff to fall back on. Thumbs will go on the scale to an extent even greater than the 2008 collapse.
