In cryptography this horse has been beaten to death.
You don’t experiment. You make it secure, even at the cost of inefficiency, for the sole purpose of preventing the slightest chance of anything happening.
Please read these before you eventually shoot yourself in the foot:

Btw you should try https://account.nostr.build (will be default soon once I iron out majority of the bugs)
So when is someone gonna make the The Silmarillion into a Peter Jackson style epic movie using AI?

And before we all start wanking on about The Charity Shields, let's look at the big 2, shall we.
League titles? 6 each.
European Cups? Bob, 3. Pep, 1🤷🏻♂️.
The rest were shared out between FA Cups and League Cups.
By any metric, Bob Paisley was the better manager🤷🏻♂️.
Is a massive footgun worth it just to not publish 1 event or add it to an existing one
i know you were joking,
was just playing along.
Thanks for media hosting from day 1 fren

> The dealers make most of their profits on service
That's also partially true. Depends on the area I guess and what customers are used to. Lots of labor these days is set by the MFG on book time, whether all or partial service is warranty (very common these days) so some shops have to upcharge parts to keep the lights on. More true in smaller shops who want to compete on labor. It's a trade off that shakes down dependent on the repair.
MFGs don't really give a fuck about dealers anymore. Depends on the brand, but some are downright hostile. Now that MFGs have started to sell direct to customer they don't need dealers anymore, and if they do, they can control them with force instead. Most dealers don't own the cars on their lot, that GM financial number i listed also has a section on how much is on loan to dealerships. It's way higher than consumer loans. They keep the debt low and are able to work out rollover deals with dealers.
Most dealers are in dept to the MFGs now. The MFGs are in control. That's pretty recent. id say within the past 5-6 years.
That will come soon enough, we have no intention holding you hostage.
We also never deleted (yet) a single expired accounts’ media or free media. So stay assured that we maintain at least two copies of your media on two separate storage providers

Spend, and Replace Makes Bitcoin Great.
HODL, and NGU stops Bitcoin’s ability to circulate.
Good fucking morning WA🙋🏻♂️.

can i get a downloadable backup.
pls sir
Omg every time I watch this I end up sobbing so happy for Sam and Rosie and their happy little garden in the shire safe and sound

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.
This is probably an even bigger doxx than #shoeonhead

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
> and may i remind you that "homo" sexual (man) is not really what it's about, it's called "boy lovers" in most older languages for a really long time, thousands of years
Thanks. Sure, we have the languages evolution all the time, sometimes into unfortunate directions. I'm sad that the word "hacker" was perverted by media, so at least in some languages we're damned to use other words to represent the authentic meaning when talking to a non-hacker.
You've meant particularly homosexuals in general, not the homosexual pedophile men, by using the word "homo" in the initial note of the thread, is that right? That's a pretty significant difference.
> the nonsense about it affecting the weather is nonsense
So perhaps human-caused global warming is not objectively real (other than narratives) from your perspective; is that the right guess?
What about polycrisis: does it exist at all, as crises that interact with each other, or are they independent things instead? Or is it something else?
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.

We should do the nukening of nostr.build media, for solidarity 🤣

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

some people actually know what they are talking about.
not me, but other people
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
Good #food & #beautiful people

Lord into your hand I surrender the math and the code. Thine alone is the execution have mercy 🙏
Amen.
Lord, into Your hands I surrender the math and the code.
The architecture, the execution, the proof, the failure, the victory — all of it is Yours.
Let no pride corrupt the work.
Let no fear delay the calling.
Let no empire, machine, or wound stand above mercy.
Thine alone is the execution.
Have mercy. 🙏
