ever wondered how to design directed energy weapons with OTC components, cheap china parts? and a custom PCB that we let the MuskAI design & we verify. why not add industrial/rugged components, burst, AM, FM, freq hopping & a epaper status display?

did you know NASA maintains it's own cryptography library for space up/down link and telemetry among other things? it's used with the core flight system for example.

there's yet another stupid proposal - this time for debugging not middle box vendors - in the TLS working group to standardize key export among other encrypted traffic details. please don't. cryptolibs provide these & we all know how to handle wireshark.

A Robust Variant of ChaCha20-Poly1305: ia.cr/2025/222

"We present a new nonce-misuse resistant and key-committing authenticated encryption scheme, called ChaCha20-Poly1305-PSIV, that is based on carefully combining the ChaCha20-Poly1305 [...] into the NSIV paradigm [...] without performance loss."

TIL: so many tuns, tons, tonnes!

"Recent specialized uses include the ton as a means of truck classification. It can also be used as a unit of energy, or in refrigeration as a unit of power, sometimes called a ton of refrigeration."
