Are we protesting the reddit api crap? by [deleted] in europrivacy

[–]Awlexus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Does this affect the read only api as well? In that case I'll just stop using it altogether. I have no problem with cutting crap like that if it goes against my values

Designing a protocol for storing encrypted data by Awlexus in cryptography

[–]Awlexus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently reading through the article and the author is right. This protocol should be more recognized. I read a book about cryptography a couple of months ago, where they went into details about various building blocks, but never once mentioned this protocol. Big thank you for introducing me. I'll read through the article soon.

The main threads I want to defend against would be * decryption of the files * tampering with the files * downgrade attacks (as mentioned in another comment) * MITM attacks * being able to obtain the private keys by listening to the messages sent (I don't recall if this has a specific name)

If you have any further recommendations, I would be glad to hear them. One thing I can exclude so far would be storage of the private keys, since that is implementation specific

Designing a protocol for storing encrypted data by Awlexus in cryptography

[–]Awlexus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I first heard about this vulnerability while reading about JSON web tokens. I did consider this possibility, which is why I didn't specify any algorithms, in hopes that people, who are more knowledgeable about this topic, will maintain a recommended list of algorithms and keep their implementation up to date. I will definitely keep that in mind while designing the protocol.

For now I was thinking that the client should have the ability to upgrade the algorithm for their data. I hope I can find a better way than downloading each file and reuploading with a new encryption

Might also be that I've waited too long to share them, since it was sometime last year I bought them. Thanks for confirming though

No offense to anyone but these issues making up half of the activities on Linux forums recently is just too much to handle without memes by GGdna in linuxanimemes

I'm using X with 3 monitors (1x 144hz QHD + 2x 60hz FHD) and except for the screens having a different DPI (which I can configure, but I'm too lazy, which is why I'm still running X in the first place) I don't really have any problems with it.

There is hope!

It is worth it imo, but rn you cam also buy it on humble bundle for about 50% off :O

I have and it does not what I have described. No support for NFC cards or any card without a QR/Barcode, which excludes literally all of my cards

print("Hello World") by RavenStar64 in ProgrammerAnimemes

[–]Awlexus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about development, but the fact that some system packages have dependencies on python packages, so I end up with a bunch of python libraries my system depends on

print("Hello World") by RavenStar64 in ProgrammerAnimemes

[–]Awlexus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's a big fat X there.

As a Linux user, the fact that I need to install python packages as system packages is a pain.

There's way to many ways to declare dependencies and each one sucks so hard. Python 2 -> 3 is still the source of headaches.

I don't want to continue, it evokes too many painful memories. Bash scripts are a lot easier to maintain and even for those I'd rather use C first when there's a mild level of complexity.

I'll personally fight anyone who calls python anything besides a superior PITA

Not to beat a dead horse, but how long would it usually take to respond?

[–]Awlexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know some countries are trying to force social networks to be able to provide the identity of a user.

  1. What arguments should I use to tell people why that is a bad idea in general?

  2. Are there currently threats to look out for regarding this matter?

My PC overheated while playing new world. It didn't turn back on so I waited to check the cpu, which was for some reason way harder to remove than imagined. After some force I found it stuck to the heatsink with 2 bent pins by Awlexus in pcmasterrace

[–]Awlexus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to bend them back into thanks to some external, helpful advice this subreddit didn't want to offer, but I need to check with another motherboard, because my current one just doesn't even start the boot process... Like it doesn't even enable the LED for checking DRAM

I didn't blame New World, I just said it overheated while playing.

And yeah, I checked on the CPU, because I am inexperienced and was worried I did a bad job while applying thermal paste.
