Starting a music streaming service that only implements SSL with 40-bit RC4 because it sounds warmer than modern TLS
Starting a music streaming service that only implements SSL with 40-bit RC4 because it sounds warmer than modern TLS 19 comments
@mjg59 "The problem with modern streaming services like Spotify, aside from their compression *spitting noise* is their use of complex cryptographic protocols. The further we get from the source material, the worse it sounds -- so naturally, more complicated encryption will produce more garbled sound." -- ad copy from Insecusic @mjg59 I prefer to smooth my recordings by keeping only the least significant bits of each sample. @mjg59 You joke, but once one audiophile believes it, they all will. If I had less of a soul, I would sell rebadged Netgear junk from Best Try as $1500 hi fidelity streaming Ethernet switches. @bamboombibbitybop @mjg59 They sound much better when using CVE-2024-27867 to listen to music unencrypted! @mjg59 make sure to use constant time primitives in your cryptography implementation, because it reduces audio jitter. |
@mjg59 remembering the forum thread where people argued about whether
malloc
oroperator new
sounded better
