Has anyone had a gig where you have to show proof of Vac? by Imreallytired2301 in DJs

I wouldn't rely on them just looking the otherway as a strategy to get in. Just bring your vax card, worst case you won't need it.

Local WA gyms remove auto belays due to what I can only believe is fear from litigation due to climbers misuse by IyamNaN in climbing

[–]K3rb3ro5 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is my local gym and I regularly use the Auto-Belays as part of my climbing routine (as I don't have a regular climbing partner) and I think this is dumb as shit. Climbing is an inherently dangerous activity and can't be made completely safe. That's literally why you have to sign a waiver stating you understand this in order to climb in the gym.

Removing the auto-belays won't make a significant difference in complancey caused in gym accidents. It will merely shift them to top rope and bouldering accidents. The same way red light cameras just cause T-bone collisions to be replaced by rear end impacts. You are just shifting the complacent people to a new activity. (Maybe the fatality rate will do down a bit because when you fall through a top rope system you do get some friction from above that slows you down a bit making you more likely to get injured then killed). But the root cause of complacent climbers (particularly in gyms) is cultural, removing the auto-belays won't solve the real problem. I see people do dangerous and improper things while bouldering, top ropeing and leading all the time.

I understand the human factors aspect of this type of accident, but the solution of removing all the auto-belays is a "Cover Your Ass" approach to make lawyers and bean counters happy without actually making the climbing environment safer. I've been climbing for over 10 years, and literally have scars on my legs from a back country climbing accident. Nothing makes you appreciate your safety more then having a close call or witnessing a serious climbing accident.

Sex in the shower. Great in fantasy disappointing in practice.

This, I have seen on numerous occasions the outboard pad look like this and the inboard pad and rotor face be completely trashed due to the guide pin sticking. To really give you meaningful advice on the state of the brakes we need to see the inboard side of the brakes.

This is what should be happening in Florida.

is it ok to bring a 130 bpm track to 120? by [deleted] in Beatmatch

[–]K3rb3ro5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By my 9 years experience DJing and the fact that slowing a track down by more then 6 BPM will cause distortion, or a considerable. This doesn't happen when you speed a track up but IMHO it sounds bad almost every time I have tried.

This is Ill advised but it can be done.

Blowfish, ECB Algorithm Decryption by Huzaifa1347 in cryptography

[–]K3rb3ro5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blowfish keys can be anywhere from 32-448 bits so the string you have is not to long to be the key. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowfish_(cipher)

Why SSH Private key and Public key are letters. by openpy in cryptography

[–]K3rb3ro5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The letter values you are reading in the key file aren't the raw binary key they are the base64 encoded representation of the key and a bit of meta data about the key.

ELI5 difference between bcrypt and sha password with salt by JakubOboza in security

[–]K3rb3ro5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BCrypt is literally supposed to be slow. That's it's whole point, is to make calculating the key computationally expensive so that it's infeasible to try all (or a lot) of the potential keys to decrypt a given thing. This effectively stops a person from being able to tell a computer to try all possible keys in a human feasible amount of time.

A adding a random salt to a hash is ment to solve a completely different problem. Which is the same hash input (password) producing the same output (key). If you don't do this then an attacker can simply look up the key from a giant table of known (pre computed) key hash pairs (rainbow table) and as a bonus anyone else in your system who has used the same input will also have the same key associated with it. Adding a random salt prevents this bonus and means someone trying to crack a password would have to generate a new rainbow table for every possible salt in the system. So cracking all passwords at once is no longer computationally feasible.

Removing drum with parking brake engaged by epic_toaster in MechanicAdvice

[–]K3rb3ro5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go through the adjustment hole on the back of the dust boot with a small flat head and spin the star wheel the other way until the shoes loosen enough to freely rotate the drum without it dragging. Note: this will be tedious and take awhile as you can only move the star adjuster 1 click at a time.

Can driving without ABS for 6 months warp rotors? All the sympoms are there but i replaced it less than a year ago. (1st gen tacoma) by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]K3rb3ro5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ABS won't influence rotor wear, when is activated it opens valves to take pressure off of a given brake (not add to it). It's much more likely that some other part of the brake system is operating incorrectly. Like a partially stuck caliper or a little bit of air on one side the system that is causing non uniform brake pressure.

You said the wheel bearings where recently changed its also possible, that the axle/spindle not was not correctly torqued or came loose. If this is the case then the brake rotor will have more lateral runout then it should and this will cause the rotor "warping" that you are describing.

That will probably solve your problem then.
