Why are you saying rust needs to be flooded with issues? Rust isn't conflating transport layers and protocols. OP is. UdpSocket is just able to take ANY file descriptor and try to use it as if it's a UDP socket. E.g. this compiles

Ironically, if you change so that your software is so longer free software, but "source available", then you become one of the bad guys. At least that's how the community generally reacts.

No, this is nonsense and look like university student naivety. What caused it was rolling out a change and moving on to the next recipient without checking if the previous task instantly died. You can't prevent all crash bugs, but you

Why is the font size on this page ENORMOUS and blocking the ability to make it reasonable? Seems more than a bit user hostile. I guess I could try finding some reader mode extension, but the effort/reward promise is not high enough to

Glad to hear about 128bit. I still stand by that one should not migrate to vanilla `age` until the public key part is PQ, or one will need to do two migrations. The incremental improvement from going GPG to age seems pointless given the tim

Well, I'd say you left out all the important bits, to the point where your comment could easily be read as "it's the symmetric key that matters, even with public key". But whatever. Now I know. Both the choice of symmetr

Your data fits in RAM. If this is a test of how well the process would work for big data sets, then I'm not sure it's even big enough to be able to extrapolate from.

> The key is encrypted with pubkey. Of course. That's how all public key crypto works. It's entirely infeasible to encrypt large payloads with a public keypair directly. But this means that the symmetric key is entirely vulnera

Oh, that's a shame. I'd like to use something stable and supported for long term backups, so size doesn't matter. Pre-quantum is not something worth migrating to.

The File Key is symmetric, but the header having recipient implies this is public key crypto. So break the public key crypto (e.g. X25519), and you don't need to crack the symmetric key. Also 128 bit? That's not quantum safe eithe

by knorker 11mo ago
Yeah 128bit for symmetric is not enough, but it uses public key cryptography, right? "RECIPIENT can be an age public key generated by age-keygen ("age1...") or an SSH public key ("ssh-ed25519 AAAA...", "ssh-rsa

I don't get the downvotes. I'm not saying "stink as in I don't like it". US notes literally smell, and I've not gotten that from other currency. It's not even controversial. If you Google it you'll fi

It seems like a roundabout way to reduce the impact of a symptom of a self inflicted problem. It's clearly not a solution, and it seems like it's a suggestion that can only come from a place of "but we've always done it

by knorker 11mo ago
Quite the opposite. As a fully abled person I find it incredibly annoying to have to flip through US notes instead of just immediately picking out the right one by size and/or color.

by knorker 11mo ago
US notes also stink.

Across the spectrum of all Samsung consumer hardware, phones, fridges, smart watches, earbuds, TVs, etc., they are probably the most consumer hostile company in existence. I would NEVER buy one of their devices again. I've learned that

To add to the reasons others gave: It needs to be correct. Engineers are working the problem. They have a pretty good understanding of the impact of the outage. Then an external comms person asks for an engineer to proof read the external o

It's the worst, except for all the others. 20 years ago someone missed an important email. Every 20 seconds someone misses an important message in a thread hidden deep in a chat. I don't understand how we have moved from email and

It does if the attempted enforcement is sending a notice of a fine to Pablo Escobar. Ok then, thank you, I'll file that demand as appropriate. Now if the UK sends warships to the country, ok. Good luck with sending warships to invade t

Is this still true with OFDM and subchannels or whatever it's called? Also MIMO. And don't think it's relevant to compare what to do in a large space with what one should do at home. The requirements are entirely different. I

One last thing. If you think reading and writing to "address zero" is perfectly fine in C, then I'm curious what your explanation is of GCC removing this null pointer check: https://godbolt.org/z/PjYzqKxs
