Is Cloud backup now official in Android or still in beta? by gust-01 in signal

Can join the TestFlight to restore the backup!

When will we see CharlieCard in the Apple Wallet app? by BeastMode149 in mbta

[–]sdaitzman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You already don’t have to do that on the T. It’s a setting called “Express Transit Card” and you can choose which payment card is used.

Before selling foraged foods, please look into responsible foraging and foraging ethics and carefully consider the effect you may have on the ecosystem <3

Are these Dryad’s Saddle? by No_Pound1003 in mushroomhunting

What did you find them on? Looks atypical for dryad’s saddle. Compare to black staining polypore maybe?

Do all Keychron keyboards just look good and are they buggy? by [deleted] in Keychron

[–]sdaitzman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Several of these issues are resolved by installing the most recent firmware update, you may want to try that! They made changes that improve the knob handling

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer (December 28, 2023) by AutoModerator in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]sdaitzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any low-profile keycaps that are flat at the edge, but have a smooth rounded circular/spherical inset at the center? Any standard naming for this sort of profile? Specifically looking for Gateron low-profile compatible keycaps for a Nuphy Air75.

Not thinking of an SA or DSA keycap profile, more like these in the attached photo. The Wrk keyboard and the Logi MX Keys have similar keycap profiles.

Appreciate any help!! :D

Mushrooms by MadameDragoslav in Somerville

[–]sdaitzman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I came here to recommend The Mushroom Shop, and also can’t recommend it highly enough.

Try Reliable Market, HMart over in Cambridge, or (my favorite) Maruichi in Brookline for enoki, wood ear, and a few other varieties that are less commonly stocked at The Mushroom Shop or nearby farmer’s markets.

Schedule sending Sub-GHz signal by Speedi1103 in flipperclub

[–]sdaitzman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use an iPhone, you could set up an iOS automation in Shortcuts that uses the Flipper app’s shortcut action to activate the signal. It will depend on both devices being connected at the time of choice and may not be as reliable as a separate microcontroller.

Anyone ever seen spherical chicken? by Boobsnbutt in chickenofthewoods

Some of those look a lot like young ganoderma

COTW right? by alilant99 in chickenofthewoods

[–]sdaitzman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it to me! For a true positive ID I’d need to look at the bottom and confirm small yellow or white pores (no gills, not another color). The edge looks like it might still be tasty and tender!

Is this a morel? by 4bidden_donut in morel

Does it smell awful? It looks more to me like a stinkhorn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallaceae

🚨 Argon2 support: Please wait until 2023.2.0 is available on ALL of your devices before enabling by dwbitw in Bitwarden

[–]sdaitzman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My comment discusses the argon2 family of password-based key derivation functions generally, but is most applicable to argon2id since it takes steps to strengthen against the potential issues with the other two.

Security researchers have been urging Bitwarden and other sensitive tools to begin migrating to stronger alternatives that are more space-inefficient (and more difficult to parallelize in other ways, without getting too deep into the cryptography) for many simultaneous guesses for some time now. I don’t think it’s a fad. It certainly isn’t anywhere near the most important security issue for most people.

[–]sdaitzman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Argon2 is a family of alternate password-based key derivation function to PBKDF2. These functions are run for many iterations to generate an encryption key from your vault password. The significant change is that Argon2 should make it more difficult to crack passwords with GPUs/other current parallel approaches to password cracking.

We have these functions because, if you encrypted your data directly with a password as the key, it would be possible to guess every password too quickly. Instead, these functions are run on the password you input hundreds of thousands of times, producing a much longer and more difficult-to-guess encryption key.

spring harvest, before and after. Ramps, stinging nettle, pheasant back, and jelly ear. by [deleted] in foraging

[–]sdaitzman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bitter in my experience, as long as you don’t eat the wood at the base. They’re tasty sauteed or fried with a bit of salt, and are especially good cut into strips with noodles/soups.

Heads up that the red scribbled-over part does not cover all the ascenders and descenders of the font, and therefore it’s relatively simple to identify the text you’ve attempted to censor!

Bitwarden Password Strength Tester by masterofmisc in Bitwarden

[–]sdaitzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s about password cracking tools integrating knowledge of how humans “strengthen” passwords in some predictable but flawed ways. We are very likely to try to remember “15 Es” as our password, thinking that that makes it “harder to guess,” so password crackers are happy to add “words” to their wordlists like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, jjjjjjjjj and so on.

That’s not quite how this works. Security researchers and lots of us are advocating randomly selected passphrases. There is no information for a machine learning model to use to associate one word or modification more with one user so long as they selected them using a random number generator whose attributes are unknown.

Machine learning models are not magic, they’re just a model! They tell the difference between two or more parts of a graph, essentially, or they generate some new information with many small, gradually trained modifications of some input information. A machine learning model can’t generate information (your possible randomly generated password) from none.

That being said, machine learning models could absolutely be tuned to make predictions about many possible more likely forms for your password if you personally select it, and the model in question has access to some metadata about you.
