Scan of 1..2³² for P-384 complete, running on P-256 now. This is running about 3M/key per second against a set of 700M. Effectively double that, actually, because I'm checking negated keys as well.

This just running on my laptop, not anything large scale.

I've checked private keys 1 through 3,000,000,000 against about 100M P-384 keys from the CT logs, no hits yet. I am going to switch to P-256 in a few minutes.

bad idea: bot that tries to automatically factor all TLS secrets, but is limited to just trying the first couple thousand numbers

it shouldn't ever succeed. and yet, if it does, we know something has gone very wrong

We can imagine an alternate reality in which Trump—chastened by the midterm results—seeks to deescalate.

In that case, spineless Democrats would be in a position to collaborate with the administration, passing joint legislation and preserving Trump's agencies and policies into the future.

Instead, by elevating white nationalist Stephen Miller to White House Chief of Staff, Trump is doubling down on a combative strategy, setting the stage for an open conflict between his administration and the rest of society.

This is probably for the best.

But it will be up to us to mobilize grassroots resistance, rather than imagining that politicians will defend our communities for us.

How to Write Your Own Space Invaders Clone
Week 28
now the fun part. first we provide the framework with the delegate which sets up the callbacks we need to provide, in order to recursively query the projectile server, so that in a few weeks we're going to be able to begin the infrastructure code that will allow us start work on the test suite which we can write the movement engine against. this will be very useful around Week 50-55 when we might be able to get some aliens on the screen

For a while, I was under the impression that all spiciness or, burning sensation in food flavoring, would come from capsaicin, the compound that causes it in chili peppers. Then I realized that Sichuan peppers are a quite different kind of heat. Wasabi (horseradish) is different yet again.

How many hot-flavored compounds are there? At least five!

I had a customer fall victim to the tech support scam via a fake Geek Squad invoice email. In a moment of inattention during a bad day, they called the number & let the scammer remote in despite it feeling wrong. They caught on & force-shutoff the PC before the scammer could completely retaliate, but he got far enough to install the PC lock-out program that would've effectively bricked their PC.

All it takes for anyone to fall victim is just one single moment of inattention.

If free software is not about ethics, then what the fuck is its point.
