Looks like this is the private key. They only had the image in the blog post, but the source on github has an RSA CAPI blob that has a well-known format, and I was able to get p and q from that and then rebuild the rest: >>> p

Interesting. Thanks! I've been experimenting a bit with my keepcalm library. I have some experimental async concurrency primitives in there but I'd like to compare with what you've got here to potentially replace them.

by mmastrac 2y ago
This is extremely useful. It's difficult to build runtime agnostic libraries specifically because of the lack of async synchronization primitives. Do you have any performance metrics you could share?

Ironically ESR seems to be siding with the authoritarians, though that was never really going to be a surprise for a lot of people. He stopped echoing the hacker ethos in the 2000s, IMO. One quote from him in the last week on Twitter (I was

At some point these reckless drivers need to start going to jail. I realize it's not going to happen in the US because the government has been captured, but there's clearly some missing messaging where these drivers don't get

Ah, the explosion of technologies in response to the need to share the very expensive, very limited and scarce resource of printers in offices and homes. File sharing and multi-user access to data was important, but giving people the abilit

This is a pretty interesting approach to replacing your own executable, though it's really akin to a spicy spawn where you (the parent) exec rather than they (the child) exec. Not to minimize the coolness of this approach -- it's

You don't seem particularly interested in seeking the truth, so I wish you the best.

Security clearance will include family members, and it's entirely possible someone will be denied clearance because of something they've done that makes them susceptible to coercion. The candidate would need to disclose things lik

Is there a real source to this? I'll humour you and try to find one. The rabbit hole leads down sketchy sites to sketchy tweets, to someone who eventually sources it as "vBulletin, Biden basement" and links to a Musk tweet wi

The reason security clearances are so important, and why people are so upset about randos going through so much sensitive government information, is that things like this can be used by adversaries to lean on these employees in the future.

I've had much better luck with Who's Hiring. EDIT: Oh, it looks like a job from a few years back I thought I reached out for was actually them reaching out to me from Who Wants to Be Hired. So apparently I had good luck after all.

This response is just saying that "no we didn't fraudulently submit the node.js site, it's just (hand-waving)". They also state that they expect to win on the generic-ness aspect of the suit at trial with the relevant au

The game author didn't upload it -- you can see the uploader on the archive.org page itself (Kim ...). I've never played the game, but apparently there's a bunch of controversy around it. This may be helpful for others: http

I'm looking forward to this -- CUDA has been somewhat off-putting because I haven't really enjoyed C++ since the 2000s. I hope we can end up with something more generic that just a good CUDA frontend (ie: ROCm, SIMD), but obviousl

Read access or write access? This seems like a good move if your end-goal is speedrunning a crash of the US economy.

It's a "gotcha" question that suggests the poster of it is spending a bit too much time obsessing about it in the circles they run in.
