In the case of RSA it's not meaningless to increase key size to fend off quantum computers. Quantum computing vs RSA is a case of being the largest contender, because quantum computing in itself doesn't definitively unravel the in

Probably because RSA 2048 is not yet broken, and once there we still have RSA 4096 to lean back on which is since quite some time the most common key size for most things using RSA (DKIM being one of the exceptions). In the context of DKIM

by daneel_w 2y ago
Not common. 1024-2048 bit RSA is the most common DKIM scheme. It's been 6 years since Ed25519 was labeled "required" in a drafted RFC, but adoption is as usual taking an unfortunately long time.

"None of the database guides I followed had warned me about the dangers of exposing a docker containerized database to the internet." Really? Nor any Docker guides warning in general about exposing a container to the Internet?

To my understanding, even with Shor's algorithm, RSA is quantum-resistant when applying sufficiently large numbers such that the quantum computer used to locate the prime must be "sufficiently larger", i.e. a cat and mouse ga

Realistically the "speed limits" are not imposed in name resolution, as that would offer only a temporary delay.

You won't be able to read those blocks in any normal way. I don't know if the specialized set of "block remap/reassign" commands in SCSI, or in S.M.A.R.T, can be used to reach the blocks.

Yes, that's exactly what the problem with flash storage is. A single pass of overwriting all nominal storage is pretty close to wiping the entire disk - the spare blocks are limited in number - but with SSDs there's just no easy w

I haven't found a technical whitepaper on it but supposedly NAND/NOR flash goes void immediately when reaching a certain high temperature below the melting point of copper. Something about putting a blow torch to the chips for a b

Barebones alternative for *nix people: just "dd" random data over the entire disk. A single pass suffices because there is no such thing as "gleanable history" on the sectors of magnetic storage - nor for flash storage,

If you are refering to EFI/BIOS level secure erase, it's for hardware-encrypted storage and the function merely replaces the current master key such that the current data becomes irretrievable.

My problem isn't the network I'm originating from. It's a) that Proofpoint doesn't track "state" (message-IDs) between outbound and returning e-mail, and b) that I don't send regularly enough to be a &quot

Not all other messengers require a mobile phone number in order to get access, meaning not all other messengers have a view of users' social networks - some of them are anonymous, and Signal is not. It's a fundamental difference.

But, a drop-in replacement of what? SS7? Diameter? Chinese cellular base stations from Huawei etc.? The collective telco IT infra and the shoddy security practices (or lack thereof)?

That's their cost for a dedicated "clean" transit. At $15/mo you're just sharing tenancy with everyone else, using their SMTP setup together with everyone else. I'm running my own setup for a handful of domains

I prefer as few middlemen as possible for my personal communications, and not having to spend a hundred bucks a month on it.

My questions were rhetorical ;) I've commented on his "patterns" previously, in particular whenever Signal's lack of anonymity is the topic. Apparently it's an offense so one must watch the way they phrase their res

Do you happen to have a full list of what media formats are still working in Messages when in lockdown mode? Does HEIC/HEIF work? (Pardon the question but I just don't have a second iOS device available for testing this myself.)

So it's either because you, too, have never heard of them, or because you're obliged not to. Which one is it? Are you making an educated guess about their presence?

I, too, have issues specifically with recipients sitting behind Proofpoint setups. My IP isn't blocked per se, it's just not "trusted" because I don't send enough, so it's permanently stuck in "new untrust

It has certainly worked very well as a server OS for me the past 20+ years. I agree that FFS on the whole is a very dated and sluggish file system, though anecdotally I've not once suffered a loss of data with it despite several power

It's been doing this since long before iOS 18. I first observed this behavior already on my 1st gen. iPhone SE with iOS 11 or maybe iOS 12. Every now and then, especially after having taken new pictures with the camera, I'd see th

Neither Scaleway, Oracle nor AWS ever asked me to scan an ID document to prove my identity. I presume my debit card details were sufficient.

They're working hard on "volatile", too.

Nice setup. $50 for a used LS-2000 is a steal! I used the Minolta Dimage Scan Dual II for many years until it broke down, at which point I could not afford a replacement. I stopped shooting with film almost 15 years ago but for a long time

The mechanics and gameplay look much like I remember it, and a nice visual upgrade. I currently don't use Steam, though I have an account with a few wishlisted titles, and this went in there as well.
