@dkf With the money they are saving on developers they can hire more manglement to try and figure why their software is so broken and buggy nowadays.

@robo2 Hm, TIL, never seen anybody actually use that.

@HardwareGeek you definitely heard of their spin-off project even if you didn’t hear of any of their actual games. Basically, their games didn’t exactly sell massively well (probably because they weren’t particularly good) but they had the bright idea to found a little project to raise awareness of their games by hitching them to other games, and in the process founded Humble Indie Bundle, later Humble Bundle, later the Humble Store.

Do they also use the word unalived, unironically, in the video? in the original video I didn't notice any unusual word like this. did you see it in some translation? I saw @Tsaukpaetra using this word on the dream thread, though it was weird but probably a cromulent word It’s only cromulent in as far as awkwardly censoring the words “dead”, “died” or “murdered” because advertisers don’t like it. Yeah, it's becoming popular in the youtube/tiktok/etc space

Everybody I know has always been generating X.509 (TLS) certificates using algorithm¹ RSA, because it's traditional and because it only takes one parameter, the size. But recently I've seen some proposal that stipulated algorithm¹ EC with curve secp384r1² for a project CA, also stating other algorithm like Ed25519 might be considered for the subordinate keys, and we just discussed vulnerability concerning P-521, which openssl would know as EC secp521r1, in putty. The matter is further complicated by the fact that the “normal” elliptic curves are called slightly differently in different sources and it's not always obvious whether they are referring to the same thing, and the “Edwards” curves (25519 and 448) have two separate algorithms each, and X one for ECDH and an Ed one for EdDSA, which is supposed to be more efficient than the generic ECDSA. With the sources never even clearly stating which one corresponds to which keyUsage. Does anybody know of a guide on what to use for which purpose, usable by average developer or devops engineer? My google/duck/etc.-fu is failing me. ¹ As in openssl genpkey -algorithm option. ² The -pkeyopt ec_paramgen_curve: option.

@Zecc said in Help Bites: Sie haben die maximal zulässige Anzahl an Blinkernutzungen überschritten So maybe there's a horizontal gradient atop the conical gradient? I don't think that's it as I think the seam transitions smoothly from soft to hard. But anyway, your attempt looks pretty damn close. EDIT: wait, maybe yours does that too. Doesn't quite look like it to me, but I'm not sure.
