how does anyone make any money in the German landline internet business?!

lol gerade hat bei mir [email protected] gebounced

Es ist traurig, wie selten Journalist*innen die Sicherheitseigenschaften von Post Quantum Crypto und von QKD richtig wiedergeben. Heute findet sich auf der Tagesschau-Homepage ein Artikel, in dessen Einleitung schon ein grob falsches Verständnis der Sicherheit moderner Kryptographie im Bezug auf Quantencomputer vermittelt wird.

Nein, Quantencomputer werden wahrscheinlich nie jede heutige Verschlüsselung knacken können, und schon gar nicht „bald“ 🤪

Huh, TIL that Gowin sells one of their small FPGAs with an integrated Cortex M3 core? The part number is GW1NSR-**4C*, and the "C" variant is the one with the Cortex M3. LCSC has about 300 of them in stock for ~18 EUR each. Here's a chinese datasheet:

Pentel is pretty cool. Not only do they make really nice pens, I've emailed them since I broke the tip of one of their nice-ish mechanical pencils (GraphGear 1000) and they offered me a spare part for free. That's some great customer service for a 15$ pencil.

Does anyone here want this very vintage front panel thing with keyboard and VFD? I think it would make a great prop. I got it to work from an arduino uno a few years back, and haven’t touched it since. It still works and enumerates over USB. I can provide my original reverse engineering docs and probably the arduino source code.

The keyboard is pretty shitty and has at least one stuck key.

I'm cooking up some new layout code for kimesh[1] that can comply with arbitrary board shapes better, and at lower trace/space settings :)

Given the general state of affairs, I am calling for a rewrite of the php interpreter and standard library in rust.

Everybody is mad about the eMudhra TLS CA intermediate compromise. But let's say it as it is: In an age of AI taking over, eMudhra is out there fighting for team human, and unlocking your ability to finally remember TLS keys without the need for a machine!

With their groundbreaking technology reducing entropy to 8 bits, eMudhra empowers you to do ECC point multiplication without a computer, using good old pencil and paper!

Big CA uses the number four, as in literally “4” as the private key for one of their intermediates like in the fucking xkcd was not on my bingo card for 2026
