About the same age as our place!
I have never liked the approach of “fixing” security issues by just marking them out of scope.
Cryptography needs to be resistant to footguns. You should NOT be able to misuse without going out of your way.
This trivially allows that with a simple oversight
It seems you’re the one trolling. 🤭
Not sure what you mean haiku boy 🤣
Open source backend server with a well-defined good ol' REST API that accepts and returns signed Nostr messages
Am I going to get canceled?
Small potatoes fren. The issue is not that engineers don't understand the impracticality of their designs, I'm arguing the contrary. I think the engineers are well aware of their designs and shortcomings. They were given a drawing and a box and said, make a transmission fit in here, you have 90 days and and the BOM must be less than $2000 or whatever.
They don't get paid because they make it easy for you to replace your air filter. They were handed the requirement of the air filter must be replaceable AND fit in this box...
So yes. try to convince a CEO to pick up a wrench. Then realized the CEO is appointed by shareholders to make money, so now turn your attention to shareholders. Oh wait it's a public company...
Once again a problem of incentives. How many people would be willing to give up some of their retirement fund so fuel filters were easier to change on some cars? Have fun chatting with boomers about that.
In the game of tradeoffs complexity is typically the cheapest option in the field of engineering.
storage space is running out
A) buy more storage?
b) compress it?
B will be the answer 90% of the time.
some people actually know what they are talking about.
not me, but other people
Any integer x over GF(p) have a modular inverse x^-1 so that x * x^-1 = 1.
So the view private key v = H(S || “magic number”) * s (where s is your nsec, and S = sG = npub) can be reversed, by testing each possible S’, and if it holds, then it is the view key for S’:
S’ = H(S’ || “magic number)^-1 * v * G = H^-1 * H * s * G = sG = S
Then you can trivially reverse the key
s = H(S || “magic number”)^-1 * v
We should do the nukening of nostr.build media, for solidarity 🤣

But it's hard to know every piece of a puzzle with a system as large as a vehicle. It's a big chain, and I'm sometimes unfair
> All tweaks are reversible by the server and so they can derive your nsec easily
You could *multiply* by the tweak 't', instead of adding +t*G, and that might be safer, because dividing by 't' is much harder than reversing the addition -t*G
I don't claim to like this proposal, nor that my idea is valid in this case; just throwing this out as something to think about. Cryptography is interesting and fun
Isn't this generally true of anything that's mass produced?
Anyway, I do think the auto sales market at least is basically a fiat financial service industry at this point. That seems clear.
For the rest of it, I should probably stop posting engineering and tech thoughts shortly after being in the shit 😂 I fucking hate everyone and no one is safe during those tough moments.
There *are* times when I get a tear seeing how a design was clearly made with the mechanic in mind, but I don't tend to post about those. Mostly because it gets rarer as time goes on, whether their fault or not.

Like I said, people watch it to have fun. If you don’t have fun, don’t watch it. People can still enjoy the game even if the players are from elsewhere. That’s what the market of the game dictates

Maybe it would make more sense to have CEOs and legislators be mechanics for the shit they're requiring
I'm not saying mechanics should engineer. My point was that some of the things engineers do make things that used to be basic not so basic anymore. It's like engineering knowledge and already solved problems just get tossed out to design some new piece of shit that is harder to maintain, costs more, and leaves you with about the same efficiency you had before.
But yes, blaming all of that on engineers is a stretch. There are obviously constraints. But sometimes you see shit that is just inconsiderate and thoughtless. It works off the line, fuck anything after that. Some of that is higher up than an engineer too, but maybe they'd push back in meetings if they knew the cost of the choices they're making. Mechanics should probably learn a little about the other side too. I've had that happen where I thought something was retarded only to learn later it was a legal requirement dumped in their laps, much like the new bullshit requirements for cars to analyze whether drivers are intoxicated.
But there have been other times when I suspect they just didn't give a fuck or it was on purpose.
A Sammy sounds great rn. Dinner soon ™ 🤭
Fuckem. Write up a bill and I'll sign it into law.
Some. But I think every human can have blindspots. I tend to think of systems from start to finish, not just the part I'm responsible for.
The issue is that there is no way to derive a distinct key from an npub.
All tweaks are reversible by the server and so they can derive your nsec easily, so the electrum server would know your nsec (and that is why I compared it to Anigma). A list of candidate npubs’ tweaks can be subtracted and checked.
Even asking an LLM would have found this issue. Cryptography is hard to get right and so unless you have a good reason, don’t roll your own schemes.
If you do, do some research.
Just make a new keypair.
I actually do have a couple devices that don't work with rechargeables; my automatic cat feeders backup battery. I think it has something to do with voltage difference between the rechargeable and non in that battery type. Batteries are definitely an interesting topic. I never thought much about them until recently.
Way more fun than TCP/IP. But yeah, there will need to be more layers to it.
I'll try to make it but it will depend on how the morning goes, thank you for hosting these I find them very helpful! 🥰
If I find an informal Monero video that is short, and explains on how RandomX works I will be sure to send it to you.
That dude lost the plot 😂
The club is still in said city though
Beastie Boys are amazing in general yes
How is a random video on youtube proof that John is a scammer ? 🤣
Simping? For John?
I didn’t know John was an influencoooor
What are you talking about?

Duke revitalized a nearly dead KKK by adopting the motte and bailey with softer entry level racism for marketing. His revised approach to rhetoric allowed the Klan to stop shrinking and start growing again.
The original source for your "questions" about holocaust number discrepancies is Duke's "research." The concept of standing on discrepancies to try to say the wider historical record is a lie, Duke. I'm just asking questions to make sure we have the historical record straight, also Duke.
I'm not making a double standard at all. No matter what race you were "just asking" about, when you recite the KKKs marketing material lines that perfectly I'm going to call you out.
Any decent person finding out that is who they were citing as a source goes "ah fuck" and moves on. No decent person wants to be seen publicly reciting KKK recruitment lines.
Why do you insist on doing it then? Why is it you were so happy to DYOR when your results supported the KKK party line but can't be bothered to google and read 1 Wikipedia article that might discredit your position?
No quarter for fucking racists. The entire war in the middle east is racists murdering other racists for being racist. Adding another racist to the world is a super genius 5d chess solution for someone allegedly against all the killing.
The State (of California) wants to tax you so much, and make your life unaffordable that you can’t even afford to run your own Nostr Relay!
We must fight back against this!
This is a good moment to sign up to nostr.land. We will not delete your notes.

When I first joined Nostr I was under the assumption that it was a distributed/data fabric/mesh topology until I saw a note that explained it was actually only decentralized, which is of course better than centralized.
Personally, I’d be interested to see a project that makes Nostr distributed but in any case if it stays only decentralized that is ok too.
I do intend on making a masotodon instance, running Nostr relays, and other social media alternatives plus bridges to them all as my financial position improves.
I understand there may be tradeoffs of each method that I’m not aware of but in any case, I’d like to reap the benefits of each method.

Remember sneaking out the hospital. That instrumental packs more punch than a lot of electronic music. That’s one incredible thing about this album. All the instrumentals are on another level
