Twts matching #20

In-reply-to » Finally I propose that we increase the Twt Hash length from 7 to 12 and use the first 12 characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q or a (oops) šŸ˜… And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! -- I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social's 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! 😱 #Twtxt #Update

July 1st. 63 days from now to implement a backward-incompatible change, apparently not open to other ideas like replacing blake with SHA, or discussing implementation challenges for other languages and platforms.
Finally just closing #18, #19 and #20 without starting a proper discussion and ignoring a ā€˜micro consensus’ feels… not right.

I don’t know what to think rather than letting it rest (May will be busy here) and focus on other stuff in the future.

How a 20 year old bug in GTA San Andreas surfaced in Windows 11 24H2
The headline sets the stage, and the article delivers. This was the most interesting bug I’ve encountered for a while. I initially had a hard time believing that a bug like this would directly tie to a specific OS release, but I was proven completely wrong. At the end of the day, it was a simple bug in San Andreas and this function should have never worked right, and yet, at least on PC it hid i … ⌘ Read more

ā€œHow I use Kate Editorā€
I love the Kate Text editor. I use it for pretty much all the programming projects I do. Kate has been around for long time now, about 20 years! At least earliest blog post for it I could find was written in 2004. I wanted to go over my workflow with it, why I like it so much and hopefully get more people to try it out. ↫ Akseli Lahtinen Programmers and developers tend to be very set in their ways and have their preferred workflows – which profession doesn’t, honestly – and since there … ⌘ Read more

A mate and I had an amazing but also exhausting hike to the highest of the Three Emperor Mountains yesterday with perfect weather conditions. Sunny 18°C, blue sky with barly a cloud and a little welcoming breeze, just beautiful.

Mt. Stuifen is 757 meters above sea level, has a small shelter and a barbie area and is still the most boring one of the three. It’s also the one farthest away from me. Not sure why it has two summit crosses, but both aren’t at the summit. The third, makeshift one at the real summit was gone by now. Four years ago, somebody had cobbled one together and put it up.

We bought our tucker at a local bakery on our way. This was the first time I tried a Teufelsbrezel (lit. devil’s pretzel), a lye pretzel with pepper. Haven’t come across that anywhere else. But I can certainly recommend that, it’s yummy.

We were glad when we were finally back home after some 26 or 27km. I won’t do much today and let my feet rest. Another friend called for a much, much shorter hike tomorrow.

Enjoy the 92 photos: https://lyse.isobeef.org/wanderung-auf-den-stuifen-2025-04-19/

In-reply-to » Based on a recent study of the brains of mice I estimated the human brain to have 200B cells/neurons and 50,000T connections. We have several orders of magnitude to go before we reach that kind of scale with these fucking stupid Big LLMs 🤣 And the best part of all? 🧐 It is estimated that the human brain only consumes the equivalent of 5 Watts of power !!! 🤣🤣🤣

One article assigning a draw of 20 watts to the human brain.

What’s the relation between the brains of mice, and the human brain? I am kind of lost trying to make the connection.

I also read that it isn’t 5 watts, but more like 10-20 watts. Still a super tiny consumption, comparing to what it takes to run anything AI.

Alachua County Running - 20 miles: 20.02 miles, 00:10:46 average pace, 03:35:27 duration
long run… drinking the day before and was surprised i got this done. it really felt light the majority of the time. oh man, the massey park saved me with the much needed refill of water since i only had my handheld.

on a side note my daughter did great yesterday at her state gymnastics meet. 1st on bars and 4th overall while winning a slot to regionals!

In-reply-to » @arne Well, just for my understanding. The command: echo "Lorem ipsum" | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -iter 100000 -out message.enc -pass file:shared_key.bin will take the input string from echo to openssl. It then will

trying to implement it quickly, I get the same questions than you

# https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-pbkdf2.php
    $password = $sharedKey;
    $salt = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(16);  # What's the salt length ?
    $keyLength = 20;  # What's the key length here ?
    $iterations = 100000;
    $generatedKey = openssl_pbkdf2($password, $salt, $keyLength, $iterations, 'sha256');
    echo bin2hex($generatedKey)."\n";
    echo base64_encode($generatedKey)."\n";

    $iv = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(16); // AES-256-CBC requires 16-byte IV
    $cipherText = openssl_encrypt($message, 'aes-256-cbc', $generatedKey, OPENSSL_RAW_DATA, $iv);

In-reply-to » I'm rather frozen after half an hour looking at Venus and Saturn through the telescope outside. I couldn't see any rings around Saturn. Disappointing. It also appeared rather dark. The very bright Venus on the other hand told me that there is something growing inside the scope. :-( Or maybe there is dust.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It says F=700, D=70 and RK=20. I have to research what magnification that translates to, a few days have passed since physics class. Your Celestron Ultima 100 looks much more high quality than this thing.

Equilibrium problems are solved by method of relaxation numerically.

Reminds me of deliberately misattributed quotes from a funny German book series ā€œDie KƤnguru-Chronikenā€, like:

How much is the fish?

– Karl Marx

I’m positively surprised there is even an English wikipedia page about The Kangaroo Chronicles. Somebody gathered a list with all of them.

In-reply-to » Healthy new world war!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s not any better on the ā€œgroundā€ with trees and buildings around. They don’t dampen at all, in fact the houses just cause reverb and amplify the bangs. Rest assured, I did not hear any people laughing or anything in that nature. Just grenades going off. Talking to my mates, it appears that I live in an especially bad shithole, they reported a noticable reduction of explosions around 00:20. Over here, there was constant fire till around 02:00.

Yep, that’s exactly how I imagine a war zone, too.
