can't wait for digital euro

i hope it will be part of the digital wallet initiative: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet

there is an active discussion there on NOT integrating play integrity API or any other US-dependent remote attestation: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-doc-technic...


Whatever. They're just going to tie it to age verification, so it's only more control, only of the EU flavour. Might be an alternative for some people though.

I've worked with digital and smart tachographs and seen their security implementation. Its not pretty, mirrors EU bureaucracy. If Franz Kafka wrote specs, those would be it.


reminds me of the famous tachyum prodigy vapourware https://www.tachyum.com/


Well, this has already taped-out whereas the entire reason people call the tachyum prodigy vapourware is that they keep missing their target dates for tapeout and keep delaying it.


if you strap an explosive to it you can make infinite money in ukraine / defense in general


reminds me of sacking of rome by barbarians

but this time we must defend better not to have another "dark age"

sure sad for the millions of displaced people, but for civilisation to prevail there is no way to save them, quite a no-brainer


link to bot detection page - https://bot.incolumitas.com/ - is down


False. It's up.

Alas, does not accept TLS1.3.

     printf 'HEAD / HTTP/1.0\r\nhost: bot.incolumitas.com\r\nconnection: close\r\n\r\n'|openssl s_client -connect 167.99.241.135:443 -ign_eof
     printf 'GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nhost: bot.incolumitas.com\r\nconnection: close\r\n\r\n'|openssl s_client -connect 167.99.241.135:443 -ign_eof
     echo|openssl s_client -connect 167.99.241.135:443  -showcerts|openssl x509 -text


It's been down for months, sadly. I was working on some dummy Puppeteer human-behavior script back then and the site helped a lot. Hope the guy's doing alright :/


I just get a 403. I assumed it was because of my VPN but even without it I get the same result.


Not down for me.

   echo 167.99.241.135 bot.incolumitas.com|sed -i -e1r/dev/stdin -e1N /etc/hosts

I would love to see an AMD MI300A board for hobbyist :D


when you look properly at the end of the video the root hash starts with $y$ implying its yescrypt

more info here https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/libcrypt-dev/crypt.5.en...

https://www.openwall.com/yescrypt/

once you have the hash you have to use some rainbow tables if they exist for that hash function or bruteforce it

the authors of yescrypt claim: "Technically, yescrypt is the most scalable password hashing scheme so far, providing near-optimal security from offline password cracking across the whole range from kilobytes to terabytes and beyond. "

in any way, this is a local attack, someone / some software on your local machine would need to execute it so i am not overly stressed, password hashes leak all the time from all different sources

yet, it does worry me because my AMD stock is dropping on value because of this today :D


Rainbow tables are only applicable to unsalted hashes (or possibly to ones with tiny salts). They are so rarely applicable, that I wouldn't even bother mentioning them.

On that list, NT is the only completely unsalted hash, plus DEScrypt and its variants might still be susceptible with its 12 bit salt. Like all decent password hashes, yescrypt is salted.


fwiw, yescrypt uses a salt so it will not be vulnerable to rainbow tables, and it is a slow hash so it won’t be that easy to bruteforce. A good strong password with a good hash function should remain secure even if the hash leaks.


interesting, i never understood the concept of "want"-ing anything

the last time i can remember that i wanted something was when i was a little kid and i wanted a toy radio, my mum bought it for me and later got "problems" at home because of that as we were poor and it was "expensive", after that i felt bad for wanting it

that was the last time i can remember i ever wanted anything

similar for goals - when i was a teenager i set an ambitious goal for myself to get a prestigious industry certification before finishing high-school, i thought that it will make me happy, but the moment i achieved it - i felt exactly nothing, that was the last time i set a goal for myself

not sure i am weird - but the question "what do you want" sounds silly to me, why would you want anything at all? it wont bring you happiness when you have the biggest truck or house on the street, or when you sell your company for a lot of money or when you get a professorship or whatever other goal you might set for yourself, ask yourself do you really feel joy and happiness when you get there / achieve it?

do what is right every time a situation calls for it, never take the "easy path" - this way you will never have any regrets, because you simply couldn't do more / better

reading this you might conclude then - ok that sounds like a pretty sad life - so let me add that instead of wanting things, where i found joy and happiness is in doing "good deeds" - try helping someone, make them smile, make their day better and see how will that make you feel, similarly in my professional life - i decided to focus only on what i enjoy and that is solving problems, the harder the challenge the better it makes me feel - the thrill that we are onto something and once one challenge is done i move to another and i feel again alive - that i have a purpose and couldn't possibly be more helpful / create more "good" in any other way


But wanting something is not limited to wanting physical things, consuming things. You might want to get better at a sport, to learn how to make pottery, want to express yourself through art, so on and so forth.

It's not weird to not want to purchase things, it's actually pretty liberating, but it's extremely unlikely that you do not have any "wants" as in things you'd like to do or achieve.

Not sure if I interpreted your comment correctly, to me it really sounded very narrowly focused on wanting "things" (as in physical products) which I don't think is the point.


sorry for not clear formulation

exactly as you say, you either want something physical aka want a thing, or you want to accomplish something aka a goal - be better at sport etc, that's a goal - i tried to reflect on both of these alternatives in my original comment, just to expand on that example - you don't need goals to enjoy sport, like i do a lot of running but i don't do competitive running as i don't feel the need to measure myself against others to enjoy running

in fact that's a very good point - thank you for that - i feel having goals is just a "mental trick" to push yourself in some direction, to try to create some "structure" in the unstructured world we live in, one could say a desperate try to "map" the way forward via creating some steps you can follow to happiness... aka i do this then i will be happy, i achieve this, i become better at sport, i run a marathon under X etc, and i will be happy... when i put it like this, doesn't it start to sound silly as a concept? that was the only point i tried to make


> aka i do this then i will be happy, i achieve this, i become better at sport, i run a marathon under X etc, and i will be happy... when i put it like this, doesn't it start to sound silly as a concept? that was the only point i tried to make

This is still too narrowed down, you can just "want to run a marathon", not with a specific time in mind, you just feel like you want to try that. It's quite impossible you only stumble upon doing things without having a want, all of your examples can be a much simpler want: "I want to run", whatever the motivation "I think it'll make me happy", "I feel it might improve my physical fitness", "I just want to try". Those are all wants, not goal-oriented, you simply want to do things.

I can't see how someone can live without wants, even just doing things the way you like to approach them and described here:

> where i found joy and happiness is in doing "good deeds" - try helping someone, make them smile, make their day better and see how will that make you feel, similarly in my professional life - i decided to focus only on what i enjoy and that is solving problems, the harder the challenge the better it makes me feel - the thrill that we are onto something and once one challenge is done i move to another and i feel again alive - that i have a purpose and couldn't possibly be more helpful / create more "good" in any other way

Are wants. You want to do good deeds, you want to solve problems, you live by wants.


goals are determined by wants


every time there is some HW hacking and its TU Berlin, only one man comes to mind prof. Seifert and his team: https://www.tu.berlin/sect/ueber-uns/team

quite prolific


as the name suggests, it was first synthetized in 1999 and only now the public got to know about it - that's 24 years and we know about it only because of human spite


Does that mean the patent should start from 1999?


Patents start from the day they are applied from, right? They just kept it secret until they applied for it. So the patent starts from 2020.

Anyway, I wonder how important that patent https://patents.google.com/patent/KR20210062550A/en is in the end, as it seems their way of manufacturing it is not very effective anyway and it might even be possible to find nearby compounds with similar properties.
