  Security by obscurity does not work, because people are only so creative up to a point. Hence, there are only handful of configurations for the attacker to try out.

  This contrasts to e.g. 128-bit secure encryption, which involves trying 2^128 times to break it - which is a number with whopping 38 zeros. It takes 10^22 years to break it with trying at 1GHz rate. It is simply incomparable, and adding a few bits of security by obscure combination is simply not worth it.

  Yet, so many people and organizations seem to prefer obscurity to actual security.

    It really depends in the purpose. Sometimes you can hide stuff in unexpected places when there isn’t much interest for other people to find it, or if they don’t even know about it’s existence.

    Also sometimes it is good enough to just delay the discovery of something for a while, because its value after a certain time diminished completely.

    So, I would argue that sometimes security by obscurity can be useful. But I agree that it generally shouldn’t replace proper encryption.

  I know a dog called mister Dingleberry. Mister DingleBerry likes to Dingle his berries. In dingling his berries he takes such delight, if he could he’d dingle his berries day and night.

  One time, I remember it well, he dingled his berries so hard, he tripped over them and fell.

  In dingling his berries he takes such glee, they say he dingles his berries mercilessly.

  He dingles and dangles his berries berry hard. One time he got got completely dingleburried under em and let out a fart.

  The end.

  I was a child star. As a member of the Singing Boys of Pennsylvania I performed in every state east of the Mississippi before age 12. I sang Carol of the Bells to a Cardinal in a McDonald’s. I have 8000 hours on a jack hammer and 5000 hours on a forklift. I’ve got thousands of hours doing finish concrete, plumbing, framing, roofing, sheet rocking, demolition, and more.

  The only degree I’ve completed is my bartending degree, but in the 7 years I wasted in college I spent a year as a high school student teacher and two years interning as a respiratory therapist. I was a summer camp counselor working with horses, leading trail rides and teaching basic riding skills. I’ve worked farms. I was a commercial salmon fisherman in Alaska. I was a volunteer fireman. I was a mechanic, A basement waterproofer, a contractor, a waiter, and a 6 figure salesman.

  I’ve made $10,000 in a day may times and used a kureg to boil water for ramen because I didn’t own a microwave just as often. I’ve explored the pyramids with zahi hawass. I’ve crossed the Saini desert and slept under the stars in the Negev. I have crossed a desert on a camel with the the bediuon. . I’ve snorkeled in the red sea and swam a mile across shark infested waters to explore an island in the Mediterranean.

  I’ve traveled north Africa. I’ve lived in Jerusalem. I’ve prayed at the Western wall. I’ve studied 5 languages but I only speak 2. I’ve traveled Europe by train. I’ve seen the Aurora with my eyes. I have a picture of myself standing next to a salmon shark while holding a WWII vintage M-1 Garand. I saved a harbor seal from a net. I have seen pilot whales surface three times before diving.

  Today I am the only person in the world who makes the quarter million dollar JHMCS helmet, specifically the ROMA carbon fiber housing, but I am responsible for the whole thing. Any time you see an F 18 take out a target from five miles away, that was me. I work 65 hours, 7 days per week to meet demands that only get tighter.

  A am a father, a husband, and carry the burden of more than one child who was never born.

  My story is still being written. I will never stop searching for peace.

    Three questions:

    1. Zahi Hawass - was he just “on” as official national tour guide, or was he able to act like a real human, and if so, what was your read on him?

    2. While out and about in the Sahara, ever hear of or run into a guy named “Camel Steve”?

    3. Do you have a few JHMCS helmets with manufacturing flaws that you take home and let the kids run around with and play jet pilot?

    Also, thanks for being a dude with stories on Lemmy.

    • fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I think “intersect” keeps only the shared sections, so it would give you “Rick Man”. We’d need an “exclusion” or an “XOR” to retain the non-shared sections.

  You can’t go faster than light because time and space are basically the same thing, and you’re always moving through both of them together at a constant rate.
  When you stand still, you move only through time, at the top speed of one second per second.
  When you start moving through space, your speed doesn’t change, only your direction. The faster you move through space, the slower you move through time.
  At light speed, you’re moving only through space. Your movement through time is zero, so time stops for you.
  Going faster through space would mean going back in time, which would break causality.

    To be fair, what even is “standing still”? I’m sitting in a chair in a spaceship made out of silica, metal, gasses, and water traveling around 220km/s relative to Sagittarius A.

    source

    • mech@feddit.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It’s always in relation to a frame of reference.
      Compared to earth, you’re standing still, so your time passes at the same rate as earth time.
      Compared to Sagittarius A, you’re moving through space, so your time passes slower than that of Sagittarius A.

  Socrates only knows enough to know that he doesn’t know anything.

  An airplane tire will hydroplane at a speed in knots equal to nine times the square root of the tire pressure in PSI. The real trick is undoing the little cap on the tire valve and reading the tire gauge while turning left base.

  You can test if a 9 volt battery is good or not by touching the 2 prongs on the end to your tongue. You’ll know if it has juice or not.

    A basic AAA battery has enough amperage to kill a human without the ohmage that the skin provides.

    One time a guy got curious and poked himself with copper wires so they would be in direct contact with his electrolyte-filled blood. Those wires were attached to a 1.5v battery, and he electrocuted himself and died.

    source
  • mech@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    You can do the same with any two wires to test if they’re live.
    Depending on the voltage, either you’ll know, or the people around you will.
