If qbits double every year, we’re at 20 million in 15 years. Changing crypto takes a very long time on some systems. If we’re at ~20000 in 5 years, we better have usable post quantum in place to start mitigations.

But I’m not convinced yet, we’ll have those numbers then. Especially error free qbits…

If 10% voted for some third party that would make the headlinds.

And be drowned in the rest of the election news and one of the two would win anyway.

Hypothetical then.

You can vote for whoever you want. But you will get one of the two.

Voting for someone else is basically the same as not voting. Sure you make a point, but the result will be the same.

Like I said, if there is nothing else you care about, vote for Pedro or whatever.

You know the cracking the cryptic Suduko puzzles?

Two dudes on youtube feature and solve medium to super hard variant sudokus. You can skip the videos and just solve the puzzles if you want.

The GAS puzzles are easier.

Please enlighten us? Just a hypothetical or a realistic one?

Then maybe there is other stuff you care about?

You’re getting one of them. There is no third option.

If you don’ care about the other topics at all, then don’t vote.

“The computers are not general purpose, but rather are designed for quantum annealing. Specifically, the computers are designed to use quantum annealing to solve a single type of problem known as quadratic unconstrained binary optimization. As of 2015, it was still debated whether large-scale entanglement takes place in D-Wave Two, and whether current or future generations of D-Wave computers will have any advantage over classical computers.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Wave_Two

I’m not aware this has changed.

On the plus side: they have >5000 qbits

D-wave is not a classical quantum computer. It is known to not be able to run Shors algorithm.

I hope they can build on some work from the lua devs. Isolating stuff like that is not always easy. But given lua is used extensively for embedded scripting, there is a good chance they can.

I played some minetest and then looked at Minecraft. Is minecraft really limited to -64 +256??? I read it a couple of times but still can’t believe it. Ho can a game with °mine° in its name be so limited? More like Buildcraft Imo.

Online play is 100% unencrypted or authenticated. Client executes lua code sent by the server. I hope the code is kinda sandboxed but wouldnt put my hopes up there.

I write business letters in HTML. I have a custom letter.css and a base letter.html+.js that loads individual letters into a template. I have some custom tags for date, address and similar. The individual docs are super clean. I can export compiled html files with embedded css (no js needed) and images that render perfectly and are even smaller then the pdfs I export (print) and those are small too.

Two downsides. The biggest problem, I didn’t find a way to do proper multi page docs. And especially Firefox has limited print css support.

Second: everything is crudely hacked together and in no way usable by others…

maybe chatgpt can rewrite the code better, so I can publish it?

I know million dollar machines that ship without MS office, but with Openoffice (!). The problem is, the Software can copy graphs to the clipboard in WMF (or something like that) that neither the super old Openoffice nor a recent Libreoffice can import. So wordpad is the only ootb software able to use the data.

Their reason is that 90% of their customers have an office subscription anyways…

A distro is composed of:

• an installer
• base system (bootloader, filesystems, service runner, DE, basic apps, settings)
• packet manager and packaged software
• an updater between releases

The biggest things you notice are updated packages. Many of the base-system differences aren’t even pushed to updated installations. Most of what the user sees as °the os° is the DE anyway.

The biggest problem, 25% (or however many) will survive this and be unharmed. Those are the ones others will hear about because god saved them. It will not matter how many believers died.

Certificate pinning?

Also all let’s encrypt certs are public. So if someone malicious gets a cert for your domain, you can notice.

(Thats also why it may be a bad idea to use that for secretButPublicStuff.Yourdomain.com certificate transparency logs are a great way to find attack surface.)

edit oh certificate pinning has been deprecated in favor of checking transparency logs.

It is not bad per se. It should be the goal of every government to make all people fat and happy. The problem is, it is enough to only make >50% happy.

It is not a problem to distribute the decryption algorithm. The question remains against what this will protect. Normal https encrypts the traffic safely during transit. With this, the data is also encrypted on the server. But if you can access the server, you can modify the javascript code to send the password back to a server.

It could be used on something like IPFS, where all data is basically public but you can be sure it hasn’t been modified.

Aren’t all (most?) those centralized services? What good is having the app if the service is unavailable? Tox, Jamie and Veilidchat are fully decentralized, not just federated, fully decentralized. They come with their own downsides though…

I also didn’t like AitD. The tank controls, static “3D” screens where you overlooked something if you didn’t walk into every corner and a new screen presented itself… Oh wait, you’re talking about a remaster? I’m talking about the original…
