a non-peer-reviewed, non-institutionally-affiliated, single-authored e-publication on the topic of government-sponsored cryptography, which mentions a conspiracy theory in its opening paragraph, might be making some incorrect assumptions and drawing unsupported conclusions?? you don't say

yeah i think they may all be fake names - no hits on google scholar for any of the three authors - no relevant hits on google proper either, for that matter - each name is super generically english, yet the paper reads like it's written by an EFL writer - the very first three words in the paper read "SIMON et SPECK" instead of "SIMON and SPECK", which is a bizarre error to make unless you translated it from french or the author is unconsciously code-switching - i can find no reference to the "alba3" group they say they're part of - but "alba3" is a pun in french: alba-trois, albatross i think it's a wacko conspiracy theorist and/or amateur mathematician whose first language is french who has added a bunch of academic embellishments to his zine to try and get his ideas more traction than stapling them to a telephone pole can provide

haveblue posted:what are the odds that you don't type in the name of your favorite beatle but pick it from a dropdown It's not strictly a security question. When you do an interac e-transfer in Canada, you put in the recipient's email address and it sends them a "claim your money" link. There is no verification of the email address, so you have to also write a question where the answer is known only to you and the recipient. This question can be whatever you want, though, so there's nothing stopping you from making it "what is 2+2." I haven't done one in a while, but I'm pretty sure that once you get the email and answer the question correctly, that's the end of it and you can deposit the money into any account you want. Really it's just surprising that no one has reported on it until today Yes, obviously the correct response is to make both fields a bunch of hexadecimal junk but that isn't how people's brains work Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 17:02 on May 13, 2019 |

We say ELL (English as a Learned Language) now because it's presumptuous to assume that English is only their second language instead of third or fourth or more, and calling it a foreign language (EFL) is derogatory because it implies they'll never be fluent in it or something

But what if it's not their secondary language? What if they speak Vietnamese and Tagalog and Mandarin and then English as their quaternary language, hmmmmm?

that was an awesome game though there wasn't much replay value once you figured out how to cheese the "trace a large transaction" job to get like 10 million dollars right at the beginning wish they'd made a sequel. lan hacking was fun

in that vein Watch_Dogs 2 was pretty great. the hacking was more video-gamey for sure but the context of it all was fantastic. they modeled san francisco well enough that i could pretty much just drive around it like i do for real, the bad guy is essentially jack dorsey, there are perfect copies of google and facebook and nest and such and they're all spying on everyone and selling the data, the first mission has you harassing martin shkreli, etc e: oh and there are a bunch of missions involving deprogramming someone who sounds exactly like tom cruise from an organization that is definitely not the scientologists

ah that's right. i knew i was forgetting some aspect of it. anyway point is you could call it the Greek Room or whatever and it wouldn't change the meaning because it's not about racist stereotypes about the chinese

I can't find the computer problems thread so this one will do What is the correct way to add a new device's ssh keys to a server? I have a digital ocean VPS that I use for junk and stuff. I have it set up with password authentication disabled so I can only log in with the RSA keys on my desktop. Now I want to log in from my laptop. I can't just use ssh-copy-id because my laptop is not authenticated yet. Is the proper thing to generate new keys on my laptop, put them on a flash drive, copy them to my desktop, then copy them from that authenticated machine to the server? It seems kind of convoluted and like there must be an easier way

Rufus Ping posted:Log in with your password via the web serial console and paste the new key into your authorized_keys oh i guess i could do that with the web console true. well the duh moment here was that the public key is public so it's fine to transfer it non-securely so i just emailed it to my other computer and pasted it in. thanks much

apparently some of the best flying jobs are with CBP, since you get to blast along canyons a hundred feet above the ground and intercept other planes and drop commandos onto narco-submarines at sea and cool poo poo like that. too bad that to do it you have to be a cop, and one of the most explicitly nazi kinds of cop at that
