the Gentoo Wiki is also high on my list, actually first because Gentoo is my preferred choice, equal in terms of useful content, only second in userbase - to Arch. Gentoo also implemented a policy prohibiting people from contributing LLM output. Theres not a culty rule-following edit-sanitization mod team, and the wiki doesnt require special permission, just the honor system, but so far its enough to make me like contributing to it is a form of charity to help future mankind.

we have been using wgetpaste, that supports this 0x0 service (among others), as a support tool, so people can paste their debug logs and stuff to chat.

you can also use curl directly:

curl -F'[email protected]' https://0x0.st

The Coming Soon columns make it hard to see the two main price and name columns on mobile small screen at the same time. I wish to hide those. But nice idea.

I liked this article a lot, it really helped to nail down what EXACTLY people mean when it comes to metrics.

What a coincidence, - I was reading about this last night on a great website:

"At 10% threshold, assuming a 10-μs code cycle and non-local connections, one key can be generated every 10 minutes using 6000 modules with 1152 physical qubits each."

1152 qubits sounds like the D-Wave chips. So does that mean 6000 D-wave chips ?

Even if you reverse the calculation, that would be 60000 minutes on 1 chip, which is about 42 days only, so. Quantum Too Good

now here we have "X considered harmful" - a common Trope. This seems more like a "First!" to title their paper this, as a meme of the whitepaper meta, that title came first, then the arguments came. I say this because I joked about a paper being released with this name about a week ago and now here it is, but Its a bit lower quality than expected. We might need another one later...

a similar situation just happened between Nvidia and EVGA. NVidia makes the chips, And So, holds all the bargaining chips so to speak, and EVGA is just the board partner that has to find some way to make the price work. At some point it becomes impossible and they have to actually walk away in order to not be taken advantage of. We know this much, and I'm going to assume the situation was similar here with Apple and Wistron.

I can't believe [What do they have to hide?] was even seriously spoken here. Im not the only one who believes this glows exactly like a state-sanctioned hitjob. This was cyber-warfare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5a42XuzPLk An average fair video on the hack - but Read the comments.

Anonymous is not bashing the fash, they now do the bidding of the far-left Establishment, enforce state-approved Censorship and Cancel Culture of any dissidents against the monoculture cathedral regime - who now just are your average regular independents, libertarians, and freedom loving populists.

Anyone who still falls for "but they're nazis and fascism is bad mmk" is either dishonest or not following this subject matter. Just because you don't like someone doesnt mean they're nazis.

I doubt this is even Anonymous. The real Anonymous would not be hacking companies providing free speech (no matter how bad the security).

One step closer to anarcho-tyranny. Anonymous has become the Antifa of the Internet. Basically a far-left strike force, cloaked but public, with enough plausible deniability that the 3 letter agencies allow to exist because they can do things beyond the law - as long as they dont go after the gov... One has to wonder why they are so focused on [Combating far right extremism and misinformation] when it's clearly designed to benefit the overall establishment system status-quo. Even _if_ this whole Operation Jane anti anti-abortion-law texas hacktivism politics made sense to someone, it now has a much larger effect on the internet as a whole. Epik - one of the last hosting providers on the internet in favor of absolute free speech (within the law) that still exists. The risk/reward equation doesnt add up. More innocent rights are being violated with this hack alone compared to saving womens abortion rights.

Ironic this article was posted the same day as : Why Don't They Make BIGGER CPUs? - (Techquickie) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JAWz9Da5og

Now I know its just a LinusTechTips level video, but I guess they havent heard of "Wafer Scale Engine", and I hadn't either, but now this proves the video is already obsolete…

I havent confused them. Its phrased like that to alert people they can't change the key strength by bit-ness, but they can change the KDF password-strength, on GENERATION, which is peoples first gateway into Ed25519. And X448 opens another can of worms, ssh-keygen still does not support that algo. OpenSSL 1.1.1 does, with: openssl genpkey -algorithm Ed448 but that doesn't relate to this discussion of use for SSH public keys. The support is very bare bones and only allows C code access meant for use in TLS servers, not SSH command line tools. They recently added EVP_PKEY_get_raw_public_key() relating to Ed25519/Ed448 but that doesnt help in actually running a command to generate these X448 algo Curve keys yourself for use in SSH keys.

So if you know how to use X448/Ed448 public/private keypairs with SSH, do tell.

4096 _does_ take a lot of extra CPU resources, and it _is_ diminishing returns. But anyone who prioritizes this above all else is arguing either from a vantage point of distributed scaling across servers that cost money to handle millions of extra cycles per key times millions of keys, or from a place of defending the status quo just for the sake of defending their past choices, which I hate. Their motives for defending it have to be questioned. The page says you gain very little, because by this point we are moving away from RSA to elliptic curves, from which you gain A LOT. Section 11.5 states: "If you need more security than RSA-2048 offers, the way to go would be to switch to elliptical curve cryptography — not to continue using RSA." This is the entire point of this HN Thread. A lot of smartcard and hardware vendors have a vested interest in the status quo 2048-bit RSA because they are stingy with embedded CPU resources or monetary resources in the cost of switching algos. And theres specifically an issue with GNUPG and Elliptic Curves and license compatibility https://www.yubico.com/blog/big-debate-2048-4096-yubicos-sta... If you are an end-user with personal keys only, and fast computers, switching to a 3072 or 4096 bit key is a no brainer. The largest overhead of additional CPU cycles is only consumed on generation, not on verification. Interoperability is nearly always ensured, and you gain some 16% percent security (which is NOT "almost nothing"). Beyond that, you should switch to Ed25519 (which uses less CPU resources anyway). Continuing to argue this point is beyond the scope of this discussion. You can research yourself why RSA-2048 is being deprecated, and everyone who can switch is switching Ed25519. Or maybe the OP will write another blog post better than I can, since nobody listens to me anyway. The point was to get you to switch away from RSA, not continue using it with 4096.
