A quotation from Samuel Johnson

Pleasure is very seldom found where it is sought. Our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks. The flowers which scatter their odours from time to time in the paths of life, grow up without culture from seeds scattered by chance.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1759-05-26), The Idler, No. 58

Took these holding the kebab - which is all you can say about them, tbh.

Unbelievable. I've been asked to stage an exhibition of my student's photographs. Looking for a venue/gallery who might sponsor a good cause.

After a bit of night shooting, I'm sitting in my local curry house, waiting for a kebab roll, and a man asks me what camera I'm using.

We get talking; He's a fine art photographer, who specialises in staging photographic exhibitions!

Learning is messy. When we embrace this reality, we become open to event designs that provide the flexibility and openness to address it.

When I got home from getting vaxxed today, I found a fifty-dollar bill in my garden.

I wish I could remember what seeds I planted last season. I'd love a bumper crop of fifties. #serendipity

https://s9ycamp.info/ auf #Serendipity 2.6.0 upgedated.

Die Seite rund um den #S9y Podcast ist zwar nur mehr Archiv. Aber aktuell soll sie technisch schon sein.

Update ging wie immer "flutsch". Neue Dateien hochgeladen. Kurze Update-Routine im Weg und feritg.

"just because *you* can't figure it out, and just because I can't figure it out doesn't mean that it is ipso facto something which a really bright NSA analyst working in Fort Meade can't figure out.

Entropy Quality

I am trying to confirm that it is safe to generate very high-importance private keys in Qubes Whonix. I’ve read every Wiki post and GitHub issue that Qubes/Whonix have on this topic (excellent work there Patrick) and I am close to being confident enough, but I want to be certain of a few more things. I think the main sources of credited entropy are the kernel’s in-built “Linus Jitter Dance” [1][2], haveged and jitterentropy-rngd. There’s also some uncredited entropy from dom0’s getrandom(0) [3]...
