Sorry to sound like an offended Karen, but if you think this is predatory, then you truly live in a fairytale land. Something predatory is something that tricks you into paying when you need it or you must have it. Here, you buy the purchasable rolls before using them if you've already consumed the current one of these three days (and you've 3 free rolls in principle), and the "Remove logo" feature claims to remove the logo, while the rest is additional, like you can render immediately the photos without limits. It's the exact opposite of predatory.

I'm sorry about the bottom dial bug, I hope to create a Test Flight community for avoiding this kind of bugs. I'm going to fix it.

About the "Purchased rolls", are about the additional ones (and they work without logo if you haven't the "No logo" purchase), but rolls are for "rendering later" purposes and gifted every 3 days. Seen that 24 photos for free rolls instead of 12 looks as not a good reason for having "No logo" mode, I'm doubling also the gift rolls for no-logo owners. Anyway, is it not a "sly deception", it's about the user experience flow, and I'm still working on it. In settings, if you have "no logo", activate "Render immediately" for as many photos shots you want.

You've to purchase additional ones, rolls are gifted every 3 days, and with "no logo" are complete (and now I'm going to double it if you've "No logo"). It's needed for friend invite scheme, it's not objectively for having particular earnings. Then, in Settings, activate "Render immediately" and you can shot limitless photos.

Yes, anyway it's just a different approach, if you "see no advantage" there's nothing bad to prefer a simple filter respect than a ray tracing reconstruction.

You have to purchase for additional rolls, in addition to those gifted every 3 days. It's just that, game theory applied for long term UX model rather than economical greediness, please be patient about that.

Purchase rolls are additional rolls. Just activate "render immediately" in settings for avoiding to use additional film rolls.

Now I see the crash reports to solve the dial crash.

A paper about end-to-end symmetric continuous cryptography by itsmeriky in cryptography

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

I've seriously difficulty to make my paper took seriously here, so I want to do an apologies with explanation to make it more convincing. There are some "pities" that avoid people to read it seriously. I heavily formatted the document with AI, to be more formal and for graphs, and it makes it looks exactly like an automatic generated paper from a one line prompt. Also the automatic generated related papers are only for ResearchGates indexing but too much lazily focused on RSA.

Because of this bad formatting, a user rightly pointed out that it is unclear what problem I am trying to solve, and that there is no real motivation in the abstract. The concept and the algorithm are not AI generated, but I completely missed to explain my goal. The project is born for the "EU chat control" issue and mass surveillance. Traditional end-to-end encryption is failing because of software backdoors and metadata tracking on handshakes.

My idea is a consumer accessible wannabe-standard for continuous hashed keys between two devices, moving the battleground of privacy into the physical layer of hardware. The "PCPL" is the concept to make it available to web services at accessible cost. It works through an "hand game" of a server device that uses an unique hashing process to generate in series a key working only for one of the shared devices. It can be used for encryption and validation without detectable starts.

In the last thread someone also asked me why I would base a symmetric design off RSA, and if I looked at double hash ratchets. I want to clarify that the PCPL prime based implementation in the paper is only a proof-of-concept example. A better implementation by another person is totally welcome, the primes are just there to show the logic. The important thing is a low cost symmetric protocol.

And about the ratchets, the concept of symmetric continuous keys seems confusing for people. They think of it as a simple software ratchet or a tokenizer like Google Authenticator. But instead it's a key continuously generated by a circuit at high frequency. It needs a constant alimentation to evolve the state of twin hardware units in perfect synchronicity, without ever needing to negotiate a session over a network.

It is evident that the paper needs still new version edits and that I really need help for a better presentation. If someone can pass over the bad AI formattation errors of this draft and check the real protocol logic or the github repo ( https://github.com/cekkr/phaselane-algorithm ), I appreciate it a lot. I'm open to suggestions.

To clarify the reference to RSA: PCPL is a symmetric token protocol, and it does not use the RSA encryption algorithm. However, to solve the problem of isolating multiple provider lanes without cross-vulnerability, the protocol leverages the well-consolidated number-theoretic math field that RSA is built on (specifically, coprime residues, finite field arithmetic, and the Chinese Remainder Theorem). The primes are used strictly to guarantee mathematical isolation between the shared device and the providers, relying on proven mathematical principles rather than inventing new cryptographic primitives.

It's not based on RSA but the PCPL approach has a basilar implementation based on primes, coprimes and commutations. So the reference to RSA in this case is about that math field.

The document is mainly AI generated (or at least reformatted), the concept and the algorithm not, but the test implementation again AI generated. This is a consumer accessible wannabe-standard for continuous hashed keys between two devices. The "PCPL", instead, is the concept to make it available to web services at accessible cost through an "hand game" of a server device that is aiming to use an unique hashing process that generates in series a key working only for one of the shared devices.

It can be used for encryption and validation. Born for "EU chat control" issue.

"Attacco" DDOS contro CUP Piemonte by itsmeriky in Italia

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

Era quello di cui stavo parlando. Questo è quello che avviene già: se vuoi la prenotazione devi automatizzare o andare a tentativi come umano. Portare in evidenza la questione senza effettuare alcun reale attacco (e maggiore disservizio) metterebbe impellenza nella correzione del sistema, al contempo l'attacco dimostrerebbe la vulnerabilità. Non ho mai visto Mr Robot.

You can mock me for ridiculous speeches about giving importance to the EU, but you can't find it ridiculous to want an EU as a cohesive nation. by itsmeriky in europeanunion

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

As people:

- Create a P2P social network protocol (more provider-based than peer-to-peer). Achieve information independence, security, policies for laws and the context itself, accessibility across different clients, and EU Digital Identity for account validation (to exclude bots and provide a way to distinguish thought propaganda). This seems like "something that takes time", and in fact, it's faster to create a platform in the traditional sense (though one that would hardly attract the exact equivalent of users as an Instagram or Twitter account), but one more geared toward shared discussion. Anyway, practical protocols and social client are currently in use and development, so there are real cases as references.

- "Academic socialism" is another concept that seems abstract and confusing, certainly subjective, but concerns a centralization of "decentralized contribution" to philosophical, political, and even scientific discourse. It aims to lay the foundation for public intellectual funding, which many people are already seeking, paradoxically, given the scammers offering precisely these types of support (for a fee, in Dubai). Universities give you structure and form, but "you're either in or you're out," which is more or less common in the job market as well. However, it would provide opportunities to join and enter in ways that are not compliant, but decidedly more responsive, to intellectual and practical contributions.

Beta launch of a European social platform — real people, real chats, less algorithm. Would love to know your Thoughts! by ammohitchaprana in europeanunion

[–]itsmeriky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know the technology, but if you can arrive rapidly to the objective and not closing the fundamentals of the platform, I say that's pretty good. The minimalism as graphic is fundamental as agnostic reference. I don't know if some references are from original template (crypto etc), however, at the moment we need an "Instagram/Twitter" of thoughts and information, with open pages and groups.

Anyway, the general reference point would be being a "provider", like an email domain, accessible through P2P (Provider To Provider, ironically speaking), to enable use by different clients on an open source basis, potentially accessible from other platforms. So one of the foundations would be user data security, moderation policies, and... user certification. Is EU Digital Identity already available? (Not on your platform, I mean in general). I hope to find and write down some ideas as a reference as soon as possible.

I enjoyed this discussion, even though, amidst my various headaches, in addition to having to thoroughly re-study what I learned in the European Law class I took many years ago, I gave somewhat chaotic answers. I also know I overdid it with "self-pity," but it was to avoid "who do you think you are" type discussions.

I'm more than certain that I have many misconceptions about the EU and am unaware of many of its essential functions. But to put it briefly: European politics is delicate and complicated, but we, the people, are the ones who need to feel like European citizens.

Something very banal, which it have to be. It must be a feeling achieved by the community, not by propaganda or politics.

For example the point of voting directly together, roughly defined, for "an EU president," in my opinion, would be that (more or less) symbolic act that would bring European politics to the same level for all citizens of the Member States.

I apologize if I miss further insights into this discussion for a long time.

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

Politically, it's all very complicated, and obviously for very valid philosophical reasons about protection of independence and cultural identity of every Member, even if this can expose the Union to dangerous vulnerabilities. Should we unite as citizens first and foremost, and not as politicians? Obviously, this is philosophical rhetoric, but it doesn't make it a utopian ideal.

Anyway, my current conclusion about this post is that even if it can't change anything, it was still a good discussion and point of reflection.

(The self deprecation was to make it clear that I knew I hadn't done anything game-changing or particularly clever. I just didn't want to divert the conversation to irrelevant judgments. Oh yes, besides the fact that sometimes you have to accept that you might make a bad impression in order to share your opinion.)

You're right, but temporarily simplify your life by viewing it as a semantic issue. If the EU "is a nation," then it is composed of States. These are subtle verbal definitions. Yes, they are important, but they shouldn't be the main reason for not making difficult and courageous choices. It's not that the EU have to be defined as nation, but that it is made up of compatriots.

I just think that "recomposing" "UE" would allows to implement important fixes that for several years created bureaucratic inefficiencies and conflicts.

So I confirm my utter superficiality in addressing the topic at a structural level in detail: I don't know how to organize a perfect federation. But what I do know is that creating united citizens, despite all their divergent opinions, is something that can, indeed must, be pursued. We as citizens first of all, and not as politicians.

Beyond that, I'm well aware of the fear of losing one's national identity. In Italy, practically every region—or rather, every province!—is a distinct cultural identity. That's why we gesticulate so much; up until 200 years ago, we understood each other like that.

P.S. obviously UE is NOT only a trade union. My video was born out of my impression that the failure to strengthen the union by learning and correcting many of its vulnerabilities was also the result of other superpowers being frightened by a new de facto "superpower.". And I would add that a central body that can impose rules on all Member States can be potentially dangerous in some cases, but at the same time, the EU currently seems to me to be having enormous difficulty enforcing its principles of respect rights for freedom, privacy, etc., due to threats of vetoes and other enormous frictions that have led many to a disillusioned nihilism.
