Not replying at all takes even less time and doesnt make you look like an ass.

@jens

@johnabs I'll have to read up on it to get a better sense

@johnabs <1 bit would be 0 bits... so that number cant be the actual number.

@johnabs Most crytographic ciphers can be cracked if their parameters arent generated securely

@waltercool Oh that.. it isnt "weak" so much as needing special care.. It is just as strong as the others when handled properly and when using a key of adequate strength and all.

In short the problem is if a system uses a non-secure random value when generating the negotiation then over time it can expose the private key. However if it is secure random (which it should be anyway) it is secure.

@waltercool Agreed, feel free to elaborate though.

What encryption algorithm do you prefer for asymmetric keys, specifically signing?

#cryptography #pgp #GPG #GnuPG

@torq Thats the internet for ya I guess

@shuro Suggesting a specific google search is not the part of what they said that is concerning :)

@Pat

Stux is fromt he netherlands, not Denmark btw.

@stux

@torq Sure, but my comment went out of its away to make it clear thats not what i was doing (precisely to ensure there wast this sort of misunderstanding). So no excuse here.

@decolonialatlas Where exactly did you get the info about Arkansas. I tried to do some fact checking and according tot he state website the minimum age is 14, not 9.

Ahh the fediverse, where people get offended because you politely ask for more information... do these people realize what a fool they make of themselves?

@Pat

I am not arguing for or against any tax model here. Just saying you cant rely on the fact that a society that doesnt heavily tax mega corps are going to lack infrastructure.

Also keep in mind there are entirely different models out there that can be a big incentive too. Some countries for example have no tax at **any** income level and instead rely on sales tax. These countries have seen absolutely massive economic booms in recent years and a good deal of migration.

@stux

@Pat

The flaw in your logic is assuming you can only fund infrastructure by taxing the mega rich... truth is you can have flat tax that significantly reduses the tax on mega corperations and still bring in the same amount of tax by taxing the middle class.

So yea, you can have quite minimal taxes on megacorperations and still have the same tax as a country that highly taxes them.

@stux

@jaysonmassey To be fair I have a feeling that vote will more heavily influence the philly crowd than most other places :)

@jens Oh, what a nice looking high horse you rode in on there..

1) I didnt "demand" anything, but your imagined offense is an interesting tactic... I asked a question for clarification, politely.

2) What would make you think I or anyone would know to google "refugee convention", once you know about the convention, sure, but if someone is asking hte question presumably they dont so would have no idea to search for a "convention" at all. (the op certainly made no mention of a convention).

3) I am, in fact, aware of the "convention" thing is as far as I know (and I spent a few hours after seeing this post googling on it) there is no explicit provision that says you must allow refugees to freely cross your borders without checking in at a border crossing point. But again, this is why i am asking. If it is clearly defined in that convention, or any other, then I would love to hear where it is stated so I can read about it.

4) If that is what is being referred to it is important to note that only countries that adhere to the ruling count. For example India is not a party to that convention and therefore it does not apply to them. That said most countries do adhere to it.

@jaysonmassey Sounds like the guy has a good plan, i need to look into him in more detail...
