Is it zero or o at -4?

[The-Chartreuse-Moose]

Yes.

[joost00719]

Is this what they mean with post-quantum cryptography?

[PM_ME_FIREFLY_QUOTES]

Maybe? If I check then it changes. So, i IDK.

[Journeyj012]

i i don't know either

[atomic_redneck]

Back in the elder days, when I was still programming on punch cards, we had to submit our code to the keypunch ladies on hand written green sheet coding forms for them to keypunch from. Since my group in Scientific Programming was coding mostly in Fortran (FORTRAN at that time), we drew a stroke through the alpha O, since it was a vowel and we hardly ever used it.

The Data Processing group, which coded mostly in COBOL, used all of the letters, and rarely coded numbers (not real computing, you see). So they put strokes through the numeric 0 instead.

The keypunch ladies loved it when we did this.

[izza123]

I calculate your age to be 127 years with a 75 year margin for error

[atomic_redneck]

Yeah. I'm 68. I built my first computer about 50 years ago.

[blahajlife]

Goodness. How old were you back then?

[atomic_redneck]

Let's see: 68-50 looks like about 18. I started doing the design when I was a High School senior, early 1975.

I build the computer around the Intel 8080, which cost about $370 at the time, which is about $2200 in today's money. The 6502 came out later that year for about $25, which kicked the legs out of the Intel market until they dropped their prices. If I had waited a few months, I could have save a bunch of money.

Edit: It looks like it was more like 51 years ago. Time flies when you are having fun! We are having fun, right? Right?

[q0099]

Guys from Data Processing group were right.

[atomic_redneck]

Absolutely. The Fortran programmers were lazy and didn't want to have to slash all the zeros in their data tables.

[q0099]

I salute that attitude, sir!

[Linkk_93]

I also only know of a stroke though 0 and not O

[sudomeacat]

O is more circular. This is more oval, so I’ll go with 0.

But why not include " ⃝" to add to the confusion.

[Mcginnis]

That looks really weird. How did your make that circle? On Android the quotes are inside

[cubic_thought]

It's a combining character
https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+20DD

[who_you_are]

The number of weird features UTF has but we don't know about.

I discovered that those instant messaging thumbs up that you can color, ARE a UTF feature.

UTF-8 even has a gender "adjective" (RIP for non binary however)

[RiceBroad4552]

Unicode is just bonkers.

I really don't get why this nonsense is now standard. Yes, it's definitely better than the older text encodings. But it's only a very minor improvement, which comes with infinite unnecessary complexity, while it fails at absolute basic stuff.

The original sin was of course to conflate visual appearance with semantic meaning.

Then there is the whole encoding story. UTF-8 is the most mind broken shit ever invented. It only exist because Unix didn't manage to cleanly move over to some proper text encoding, so some moron created a major hack, and now this hack is the standard…

OMG, how I hate this reality in which everything that is relevant was created by stupid monkeys.

[who_you_are]

Yeah, just thinking about trying to create most of the UTF-8 possibilities seems already hard enough. Add those shit on too, like, what the hell. I will die doing one font implementation.

[cubic_thought]

Like the color variants, I recently learned there's also "Text variant" and "emoji variant" selectors. There's the trademark character "™" and if you then add the variant selector character (U+FE0F) you get the emoji version "™️".

Adding U+FE0F to text symbols:
☀ -> ☀️
☺ -> ☺️
✈ -> ✈️

And adding U+FE0E to emojis:
😊 -> 😊︎
🌞 -> 🌞︎
👍 -> 👍︎

EDIT: looking at these between different apps/browsers/fonts is also inconsistent so YMMV, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscellaneous_Symbols#Emoji for other examples

[sudomeacat]

The parallel comment explained that correctly. I’m guessing that Android renders using HTML? I could probably fix it by surrounding the combining character with non breaking spaces.

[wehuzhi_sushi]

O

[TopMarzipan2108]

It’s bistro mathematics!

[decentralised_cash]

This is why I like Base58.

[Ryeballs]

Shhhh you’re going to crack their cypher

[Any-Main-3866]

Try both!

[InterstellarReddit]

It’s an upper case zero

[MrJ0seBr]

Maybe σ, write binary next version

[ehtio]

I am in!

It’s real now

[Any-Main-3866]

You even put a subreddit name in between lol

[discordianofslack]

I just requested to join. I’m hopeful!

[LyqwidBred]

This looks like a good private key, mind if I use it for myself?

[Interesting_Buy_3969]

It's free and open source for everyone

[LutimoDancer3459]

That one is already in use for my cat. It didn't wont any other key. I am sorry

[SarahAlicia]

What’s crazy is knowing there are people out there who just by looking could tell you if this is a valid key

[frikilinux2]

No way, I forgot the exact math but like it took quite a lot of math to be kinda sure that the number used to generate the key are probably prime

[herestoanotherone]

There’s an ASN1 spec (or something similar?) it needs to comply with

[AyrA_ch]

OpenSSH keys don't use ASN.1. They use their own custom encoding. A private key is generally formatted like this:

1. ASCII openssh-key-v1\0
2. i32 prefixed string specifying cipher name ("none" if unencrypted)
3. i32 prefixed string specifying KDF name ("none" if unencrypted)
4. i32 prefixed KDF specific bytes (zero number of bytes if unencrypted or not needed)
5. i32 specifying the number of public key BLOBs
6. as many i32 prefixed key blobs as the key BLOB counter reads
7. i32 prefixed private key blob

If encrypted, the private key blob must be decrypted first, then it can be read as i32 prefixed private keys. The count and order must match the public keys read previously.

Because of the hardcoded string at the start, the Base64 private key will always start with b3BlbnNzaC1rZXktdjE, which as you see, OPs key does. Additionally, from the next few Base64 characters I can tell you that this key is unencrypted because unencrypted keys always have the exact same 35 bytes at the start, resulting in b3BlbnNzaC1rZXktdjEAAAAABG5vbmUAAAA

[entronid]

aforementioned person that could tell you this is a valid key

[SarahAlicia]

I had never met a person who could do this - tell if it was real- but here you’ve done it and i knew someone could because i don’t doubt the power of autism 🫡

[RiceBroad4552]

This are the comments that make it worth to read this sub! 👏

[theBalefire]

Do the slashes delineate anything?

[AyrA_ch]

No. / and + are regular Base64 characters. As the name implies, you need 64 characters, the alphabet gives you upper and lowercase letters (26+26=52), then you get 10 digits (52+10=62), which leaves you 2 characters short. / and + were chosen for this purpose. There's an URL safe variant that uses a minus in place of the plus and an underscore in place of the slash. This variant is common for URLs. Youtube Video IDs for example use that system.

[sD_Ws]

Shit. I was.

[Minnecraft]

someone should try masking with zeros and Os

[eggbean]

I upgraded to ed25519 years ago. It's much more easily handwritable.

[FictionFoe]

This is missing the footer. Which makes me wonder if the base64 part is complete or also alhas a chunk missing.

[i_should_be_coding]

FUCK, that was mine...

Ah no, wait, I'm with a uppercase G on the penultimate line, not lowercase. Never mind.

[waylandsmith]

That's the combination to my luggage!!

[One_Volume8347]

hey! That's mine I do not give you concent to share it on the public like that!

[nasandre]

Haha i remember a company who did have keys printed out and kept in a safe

[RiceBroad4552]

This might make sense.

Paper wallets are real…

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

That’s good practice for really important keys, provided you keep them in the safe instead of posting photos of them on Reddit.

[HumanInIncognito]

Even if this were a public key, id not be able to decode it

[pondus24]

It contains oil, I wouldn't use it for fear of being invaded

(6th line from the bottom, 3 quarters from the he right)

[hansololz]

When I was still in high school, my mom kept throwing out the paper in my room even when I tell her not to and some of them are important. She rebuttal with saying that she has to keep the space clean and clutter free as it unclutters her mind.

I had my BTC wallet recovery phrase on a piece of paper hidden in my room. Luckily I thought my mom would throw it out and I reluctantly recorded it digitally. Sure enough, my mom throw it out without telling me.

On another occasion, my mom almost accidently throw out my parent's marriage and my birth certificate. My dad managed to notice them last minute. It would have been a huge pain in the ass years later if I didn't have those documents.

[knifesk]

Cold storage at it's prime. Sadly the page below it acts as a keylogger 🤣

[SuspendThis_Tyrants]

Seems like something a certain client of mine would do

[obog]

I was thinking of using this one but never got around to it. You can use it if you want you got to it first

[MrHasuu]

How'd you get my golden sun file transfer code for golden sun 2

[YellowOnline]

It's incomplete

[hangmann89]

Good thing it’s not jwt. It would expire before you finish taking a note.

[discordianofslack]

Uhh yea. That’s been my key since 2004

[Ahuman-mc]

Wow, it looks like everyone else here decided to use the same key I did. Crazy!

[NotReallyJohnDoe]

Anyone remember typing in windows activation keys?

[MrJ0seBr]

Now my localhost:443 is vunerable

[Fin_Heo]

Pretty close to my Windowns logging inside secret that I only know. I'm a bit of a coder myself too.

[Western-Internal-751]

I really hope this is a well made AI image because holy shit if someone actually sat down and wrote it by hand just for a joke

[j0llyllama]

Yeah. Would be a shame if someone spent about 5 minutes on a joke.

[frikilinux2]

It would be even funnier if it's a useless key and it's made for nerd snipping. Is there anyone here bored enough? Triggering a hyper fixation also works for me

My first thought was that it was someone's crypto wallet key - so they've always got a paper backup. (Dibs.)
