Nice light saber!

@lcamtuf yes, this cryptoanalizer is ready for some social engineering and passwords guessing, it's very good for those longer passwords until we have quantum 'puters.

@lcamtuf

In Germany we call this 'Hartloeten', means hardsoldering, brazing. Soldering with an alloy of copper and zinc at high temperature.

@lcamtuf now can I do a goto line number?

@lcamtuf that is some proper cursed C there. And can you really guarantee the side effects of an array initialisation will be in order?

@lcamtuf But... Why???

@lcamtuf "Category theory for the seasoned category theorist who lost all interest in communicating with non-category theorists but has to pretend like they are to get at least one grant per year to pay for heating and food"

@lcamtuf @xameer AUTHOR: I will prove to others that _I_ know the thing!

@lcamtuf That reminds me of this Springer meme.

@lcamtuf *blinks*

literal cult

@lcamtuf this case, when science seems like magic

@lcamtuf@infosec.exchange I hear you and I think what you're saying is the real villain is systemd.

@lcamtuf @jerry If only someone would have a sleeping defensive security podcast and could reactivate it. Why not, with a guest this time.

@lcamtuf let's add that to the debrief^W retrospective under "what we learned".

@lcamtuf

I see what you did there.

@lcamtuf it would be fun to try a keymap that puts letters close to their common typing error neighbors. Lossy compression that can be further improved by applying automatic spellchecking.

@lcamtuf
Compression implies something else.

I would say this is a kind of lossy data transmission.

Compression would suggest a restricted character set intended to convey the same message.

@lcamtuf
Excuse me, but I don't see it getting any smaller…

@lcamtuf the man is a national treasure. Money Stuff is the only newsletter I have ever signed up for that I legitimately read every day.

@lcamtuf
Would you share the source of this quote?
I would like to read more 😀

@lcamtuf my husband is a financial lawyer and he did his master’s thesis on this stuff. he’s both a traditional finance expert and a cryptocoin expert and owns zero coins, that should be a hint…

@dan Yeah, rules-as-written, the Elf is a fascist. He plays a different role at our house - a bringer of snacks, a player of tricks, and eventual confidant. :)

@lcamtuf Santa outsourced his list making to Palantir

@lcamtuf

"Dad, why does Santa only deliver presents on Christmas Eve?"

"It's because he spends the rest of the year in prison for breaking and entering."

@lcamtuf not au beaucoup PAIN?

@lcamtuf Some french guy in hard boots is going to fuck your day up.

@lcamtuf Well, I'm sold! Which team should I support?

@lcamtuf I'm a software person and I haven't had a car for over a decade but, if I ever have one again, it will have a electromechanical switch to start it, no software involved.

@lcamtuf holly cow that looks like a 2019 something update. What's your take on not updating it?

@lcamtuf Another one with Teslas (maybe other EVs, I don't know?) is that they can go into a deep sleep, and can take multiple minutes to wake up enough to be driven.

Every time that happens to me, I think about axe murderers.
