and yes that means that very soon I will have to implement AES-128-ECB

I love that I can populate a const array using a const fn:
https://github.com/jamagin/cryptopals/blob/b7e79c0eb8faa9ae2bf1f0f5af2a462fa35459aa/src/bytes.rs#L21
and have the values in the array be Ok(value) for valid inputs and Err(Base64ParseError) for the rest

I think with some more experience I could write something even clearer for the rest of the implementation, but this feels like a good start:
https://github.com/jamagin/cryptopals/blob/b7e79c0eb8faa9ae2bf1f0f5af2a462fa35459aa/src/bytes.rs#L57

Still trying to feel out what's the most sensible thing for arguments and return values in an API, &[u8] vs Vec<u8>

OH: SSH_AUTH_GOCK

@rabbit @jima @saraislet @munin This thread is reminding me that I'm really weird and good at DNS

@ryanc I was just mentioning elsewhere how much I like to swap to a zram device

Is this art?

What they don't tell you when you're a kid is that the best role models break the rules thoughtfully and regularly

@mokomull @regehr @dan oh that's lovely

@dan Oh, that's the coolest thing. But wait, it's a rotary dial phone, but the cards use the same matrix as DTMF to encode the number

@ireneista @goatsarah One of the frustrating things about twitter-era social media is that it's added almost no durability to oral history.

@thomasfuchs (although on more reflection I suspect this is like how French people don't actually say ordinateur)

@thomasfuchs ohh Brustwarzen and Nippel, is the latter just something different like on a baby bottle or a pipe nipple?

@thomasfuchs could they have not simply said "Nippelhof"? this is extremely weird

So I decided to watch a Black Mirror episode for the first time in a very long time and "Joan is Awful" was a pretty amazing click-through EULA + generative AI nightmare fuel

> "Default Together" Policy at Company: At Company Inc. we believe that being together in person helps us build our culture faster, reinforce our values, and serve our community, customers and partners better through dynamic collaboration. To reflect this, we practice a “default together” approach and expect our team members to work in an office 4+ days per week.

Really getting tired of the euphemisms

@inthehands @mekkaokereke Never thought about the parts of undergrad that were good and the parts that were difficult in that way, but that's absolutely true in my experience

Things I would not have imagined saying 20 years ago:
My fastest Linux machine at home is my Windows desktop (because of WSL2).

Hilariously, just two days ago I was saying "most of the things I do don't require more than the cheapest VM", and suddenly I'm looking at a fuzzing problem

@thomasfuchs As I like to point out, at least in passenger airliners, we brief people on this stuff every single time (and its more straightforward!)

@ryanc thanks, I love/hate it

Love the evergreen "my trans employees [with which I have a certain power dynamic I am not acknowledging] didn't protest" that these kind of executives always say: https://web.archive.org/web/20240220054026/https://www.tumblr.com/photomatt/742806189400866816/you-gonna-do-anything-or-make-any-statement-about
