An a/c to announce, explain and discuss "muddle"

"muddle" is a "deniable encryption" scheme which I discovered (and maybe invented).
It is the combination of "Online Codes," a so-called "fountain code", and Rivest's concept of "Chaffing and Winnowing". The two are trivial to combine, producing something that seems to have good potential for privacy, deniable encryption and secure dispersal and recovery of files across distributed networks.
Please follow, boost or @ me

@nprofile1q... Forbearance, then? I mean, there you are writing about Chinese characters and here I am diverting the conversation into talking about Japanese. I just like the characters and the history around them (like different simplifications and meaning shifts) but I'm a bit wary of coming across as being a Japanese fanboi. It's just that I don't really have any perspective on hanji other than that. It's good to get a non-Japanese perspective, though. So :thumbsup_hmn_h2:

@nprofile1q... Thanks. I'd just looked up 之 and I remembered the の thing. I would never have guessed that there was a connection between it and 的 though. In Japanese it's more of an auxiliary character for (I guess) turning an adjective into an adverb.

Thanks again for your patience.

@nprofile1q... Hmm. I am learning Chinese better from this post than anything else I've come across. I'm not sure how close to modern day usage this is but your annotations are great and helps me understand from the perspective of Japanese...

欲 "appetite" ... "wishing"
人 person
勿 "not/must not"
聞 "hear"
言 "speak"
的？old version of this character? I see it a lot in Chinese text but the meaning is opaque to me.

@nprofile1q... Fascism – what Hannah Arendt called 'organized loneliness' – can only take root when people stop believing that their society will reward their lawfulness with an orderly and humane existence.

Thanks for that Hannah Arendt quote. TIL.
