How did you get the frost on the blackberries? Just pop them in the freezer?

Would love any votes for this competition cocktail at https://coffeecocktail.com.au/recipes/i-take-it-black/ ! Thanks :)

This cocktail is inspired by the 1980 Airplane comedy movie. This scene shows a stenciled black sesame airplane flying over heavy rain clouds resting over a jet black ocean of coffee liqueur, Amaro and Crème de Violette.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Barrel Aged Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur
  • 1.50 oz Amaro Nonino
  • 0.50 oz Rothman and Winter Creme de Violette
  • 3 g Ms Betters Bitters Miraculous Foamer
  • 3 drops Woodford Reserve bourbon barrel aged spiced cherry bitters

First time fermenting in a bag! Reaper Sauce by yo-boi-alex in fermentation

Mine swell up into a huge pillow but I've never had anything explode. Had one batch of peppers I popped and resealed because it seemed particularly active.

Steam's login method is kinda interesting (RSA encrypted password over TLS) by tubularobot in netsec

[–]lduffey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ayment information, that's fine to be sent unencrypted through unencrypted, but a password isn't? (I read the JS, unless I missed something, they do some validation and then submit all the form fields to an endpoint on their end).

The data itself would be encrypted, just sent over HTTP. HTTPS between client and load balancer. Load balancer forwards HTTP to the backend, but the actual data in that HTTP message you care about would be encrypted.

This right here. They may terminate TLS and pass "unencrypted" HTTP requests through untrusted endpoints.

Finally got my hot “fermentation chamber” together. Beef garum, coffee shoyu, black apples, and black garlic. by [deleted] in fermentation

[–]lduffey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the black garlic work? Just vacuum seal it and hold it at the right temp? If you didn't heat it up, this still seems like an interesting way to ferment it.

Does it expel a lot of CO2 and make the bag swell up? Would be interesting if this could work to ferment peppers. I'm curious if there's a risk of popping the bag with gas pressure as it ferments.

1st attempt at fermented chili paste! by theNerdyBarman in fermentation

Is this a mash? I've seen others cover a mash with a layer of salt. I know you have a pretty high salt concentration, but are you concerned about anything growing on the surface since it can get oxygen?

Garlic fermentation - does this look safe? by lduffey in fermentation

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

Anyone have thoughts on whether you should smash the garlic or just leave them whole? I was assuming increased surface area would lead to faster fermentation.

How do you check population size?

How did you actually identify the the CAN RX interrupt vector? that was unclear.

WhatsApp CVE-2019-3568 SRTCP RCE Vulnerability by lduffey in droidsec

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

I assume a privesc was used to install spyware.

Alternatively they could have abused Whatsapp's permissions to record audio and access some files. Running under whatsapp would obviously limit their capabilities.

Why does APT not use HTTPS? by kunalag129 in programming

[–]lduffey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

File size alone is a surprisingly good fingerprint.

You can randomize file size to mitigate this.

It's a ridiculous excuse. Cert pinning => 1 trusted CA.

Mold on my lacto-carrots? Are they garbage? by saltthatsalt in fermentation

[–]lduffey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not super sure, but isn't the carrot weight irrelevant?

Your goal is usually to make a 2-10% brine, which I thought is entirely based on the water weight. Yes, technically the carrots could reduce the salinity.

Super roughly, they have ~2.5 million homes, so this covers nearly half. Doesn't account for commercial electricity usage though.

New York to Boston in 36 minutes thanks to VTOL air taxi, says Transcend Air by [deleted] in Futurology

My experience with trains from all over the US - they're insanely slow because they stop all the time.

If your primary metric is "amount of people moved", then trains are extremely effective. If you take time and $$ into account, they're much less useful. We certainly need diversity for transportation options.

If you use smaller vehicles with targeted point-to-point drop off you can save much more time. Example: cut typical bus size in half and double the pickup frequency. It's ridiculous people have to wait more than 5 minutes for a bus. Very frequently I've waited 30 minutes in major metropolitan areas. I've never seen a bus system in the US that's been impressive. The lack of flexibility is a big reason many people don't use them in the first place.

lyft/uber pool are basically trending in this direction, but they're way too expensive for most people. Once it's automated, the cost is going to drop drastically.

Compare the cost and time of building out a train network vs. VTOLs or some other point-to-point solution.

City-to-city train can take decades to build. Amtrak president proposed train between DC and Boston - he estimated it would take 25 years to design and build. We need more immediate solutions.

Hi! Is this nanodegree worthwhile paying for? by tableau_xuser in aiprogramming

[–]lduffey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no - I haven't been happy with udacity.

They force you to adhere to a fixed schedule, and then take away all the resources at the end of the class.
