If you have a computer, you can learn to write code. The market for programming is in shambles, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. You can do all sorts of things like make a game, build a personal website, make a custom app, make art, and more

As someone who uses Linux every day for work, I don’t know how to fix shit. I’m not paid to troubleshoot

Neoliberal isn’t made up. It was explicitly created by people like Milton Friedman, and came to prominence as a dominant political theory with Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, which then took over the center-left and center-right to become dominant across the global north.

Considering multiple of these happen per day, we’d be listening to that list for a week straight

He’s gotten so lazy that he’ll just air the 2020 insurrection because he fell asleep during all the coup planning sessions

If you want to be pedantic, fine. Integer factoring is not in P. Therefore the math used to encrypt RSA is not in P. The usage of integer factoring to encrypt therefore means it can’t be decrypted in P using brute force. That’s the point I’m making.

I’m not about to get into the weeds about P vs NP to explain a concept to someone that doesn’t know much about encryption in the first place. I’m aware that factoring isn’t really NP complete, but P vs NP is about solving vs verifying solutions for something in Polynomial time, which can’t be done via brute force for RSA keys.

What is this a crossover episode?

I know that AES is symmetrical. I was using it to illustrate that symmetrical and asymmetrical encryption have tradeoffs that cannot be worked around.

Well, as they say the S in IoT is for security

Elliptical curve for RSA was immediately phased out as soon as it was proven that the NIST was influenced by the NSA to implement it

There are tradeoffs with encryption. RSA is so secure, that the US government has tried to insert a mathematic backdoor into the key selection because that’s the easiest method to attack the encryption. RSA uses thousands of bits for their encryption, making it inefficient for most attacks. The attack detailed in this article is on one of the weaker RSA algorithms, with only 1024 bits. The high end RSA uses 4096 bits or more, I believe the algorithm has increased the bit length to officially support 8192.

On the other side of RSA is another secure algorithm called AES. It can go up to 512 bits, but it hashes the key to meet the key length instead of relying on generating huge prime numbers. It makes it more resilient to certain types of attacks, but the bit limitation makes it easier to brute force or use rainbow tables.

RSA is secure because it relies on P vs NP. Very basically, RSA multiplies 2 very large prime numbers together to encrypt things. We rely on something similar for secure Internet connections

Shaxs doing the work of the Prophets

Very possible! I was way more active in the allyship channel though

I led the campaign to form the QA union. It’s completely serious

Do they sell fishing spears? We should chase them out with their spears

Minnesota knows better. The best shops for fishing gear is Scheels and the tiny rundown shops that are on gravel roads

Paneer. It’s easy to make at home, just use some whole milk and lime juice. Save the whey, use it in recipes that call for adding water
