I wouldn't say the spinning in a rotovap is particularly related to this question. The spinning is just to make sure the substance is being heated evenly by the bath of hot water/oil - the evaporation happens because the thing is put under a partial vacuum.

Is the internet done collapsing under the strain of millions of malware-riddled smart toasters?

laser cloud synergy

then again, those store-bought boxes are full of shells

christ, some of the half-baked implementations of the cheese protocol I've seen..

@RoraΖ Hey, at least he isn't rolling his own pasta

it is the basilisk

Did some digging, an apparently, reading from a CUDA-related file in /dev kills everything

hm, this is interesting. My NAMD computational jobs on our math server have been hanging and dying the moment they're started, taking out the terminal with them.

away!

brb chemistry time

Let's answer them all with "pls"

but now it's mostly known as what people do after donning balaclavas so that they can steal folders from your desk

yeah, "hacking" traditionally referred to the general process of inventing and making things work

whoa, man

it actually moves half of each bit into another bit

what if we made rot 13.5 encryption

no viruses :)

oooh, idea: make it for OSX only

academics

gotta run in a minute

but then packet loss would break everything

a weird scheme might be to authenticate the contents of the last X packets with a single transmitted hash

the question is, how tough does it need to be to break?

You could take only part of the hash, possibly

can't quite remember thato ne

malleable encryption?

don't accept anything with a lower number than what you've already seen

digital signatures that factored in the frame number would also work

but I think your challenge system would avoid that?

one issue is replay attacks

and I'm not sure how expensive that would be computationally

Could you use digital signatures instead? The overhead might get ridiculous if the packets are small, though

asymmetric crypto would provide authentication; I think symmetric crypto would also work, as long as you can securely share a secret first

hmm

if you don't have a cleartext counter, then you'll run into issues if (and when) packets are lost

I don't think the spec includes one

Do the UDP packets still have cleartext frame numbers?

between client/server or something?

What data are you encrypting?

50% is way more than 0%

you don't have to be perfect

oh hush

unbreakable encryption + easily compressed output

It's a tower of lies so that the poor mechanical engineers can survive gen chem

hah

chlorine can form five bonds

everything we learned back in freshman year was a lie

man, inorg is weird

Bleep bloop
