Question, would an activity pub implementation specifically designed to support community/charity organisations be a good idea?

Can us disabled people stop being used as a prop please? I don't even need assistive technologies and it still pisses me off. Especially when these same companies and same people going "but disabilities" tend to also just… not care when assistive technologies that real humans use are left broken for years. Or worse, considered security risks.

@Darkedge yep!

@Tamasg Ah sweet! @FreakyFwoof

Sounds like they are Far Beyond Driven?

@encthenet i took a cryptography course in a summer program by johns hopkins from an instructor who openly worked for the NSA (three separate courses) and i left with a solid grounding in number theory but they didn't delve into any of the group theory around e.g. diffie-hellman and were far more interested in RSA. very boring

Hi, fedifriends! Book question for the hive mind – anybody know a good personal library tracker app for getting your whole book collection into a spreadsheet? Preferably by being able to scan barcodes with a phone.

@dominicnieto @mackuba 🏆🏆🏆🏆 is this enough trophies to make yourself feel better inside?? I suggest you close this app and do something else you enjoy with life. It must be exhausting going to every random post and try to clap back at someone. If you are so bothered by me just block me I don’t wish to engage in this anymore I have other things more important in my life.

Here’s a really interesting thing about having #aphantasia: I legitimately don’t know / remember what I look like.

I can’t recall what my parents look like, my wife, my dog, my cat. It doesn’t mean I don’t recognize them (I’m also rather face blind), but it means I can’t make an image of them (or me) in my head. I can’t make any images in my head at all. Not even a faint outline.

Apparently this is unfathomable to many people.. but it also means, I think, that I don’t get any visual intrusive thoughts. I don’t know what that’s like. So the idea of triggering thoughts that are primarily visual is.. a totally intellectual concept to me, not a visual one.

Brains are so weird.

@Bristow_69 Fait par un certain lauau 👍

Yeah, doing integrity on fde is a major problem because of the update problem since usually the integrity check is stored separately.

If we had old scsi disks where you could reformat to a non 512-byte sector size it'd be easier but we can't these days.

I don't know of anyone that does a log like integrity, where they write a log of updates and then after a while update the main metadata.

FreeBSD's geli has integrity protection but I think it may suffer from if the system crashes at the wrong moment, you can end up with data that can't be read, though if paired with a COW file system (zfs) where only unreferenced data is over written, you're likely safe.

I ended up deciding since I'm running zfs, that using a cryptographic hash in zfs and then doing simple encryption was enough to provide integrity. Someone would need to know enough of the key to change two 128-bit aes-xts blocks to match a sha-256 of the blocks along with changing the others. if they were able to do that, then aes is effectively broken.

P.s. feel free to ask questions. I'm not a "certified" cryptographer, but been involved in it for a few years and likely can help navigate some things. Also, take cryptography 1 from corsera if you can. It's pretty good at covering the basics.

@poxviridae yeah, thinking about how one would actually use that data makes my head hurt 😅

@catsalad Is this a slapstick horror scene?

@encthenet @astraleureka i have spent more time on the zip file format than anyone else in the world and i think it has this brilliant capability to scale between local and shared information while incorporating structured metadata. but until i get my rear in gear it remains a dream
