If it doesn't have a toilet, your fingers won't be the only things crossed. 😂

Real hacker.

77-year-old Carl Gunn legally blocks a Flock license plate camera in St. Petersburg, Florida, by sitting on a public sidewalk and holding a 12-foot pool skimmer pole with a “DOWN WITH FLOCK CAMERAS” sign. Because he remains on public property and never touches the equipment, police confirmed his protest is lawful. #flock

@Alice @Kierkegaanks 😁💕🎉

Some people (lookin at you venusians) say it’s a silly rule, but when Voyager 2 passed 1.000000 light-days from point of launch, the FTL interdiction on our system was lifted. The media dubbed it planetary parental lock, but it applied to the whole heliosphere. Yes, even for you, venusians quiet in the back. Race you to the spiral bar?

wow https://www-ee.stanford.edu/~hellman/publications/27.pdf didn't know diffie and hellman also said DES was brute-forceable like a year after it was standardized???

The cryptosystem is a FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) standard. binding on all applicable federal agencies. Because ASCII is also a FIPS standard, the plaintext data will often be represented as 8-bit ASCII characters.

there's everything there's IBM there's FIPS there's even NIST by its old name

In summary, we believe we have made a convincing argument concerning the insecurity and planned obsolescence inherent in the proposed cryptostandard.

planned obsolescence in 1977?????

@Floppy @shadow-cat How have you found sellshirts? I have my T-shirt side hustle (https://conjuringcasuals.com) setup through Printful at the moment and have been very happy with the quality of the Stanley/Stella Organic T-Shirts I’m using, but I’m not getting any sales.
