@GrapheneOS @FantasmitaAsex @sntx @cadey out of curiosity, any thoughts on web fonts? I ask because NoScript still AFAIK disables them by default for attack surface mitigation, though I don't know if that's still a big attack surface. I mean I assume it was important back on old OSes which had a buggy unsafe TTF renderer running in kernel mode, but on modern computers I don't know.
@chirpbirb you could post the new key fingerprints? outputs from running:
ssh-keygen -vlf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub
and
ssh-keygen -vlf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
usually.
@Exilsarahl @NanoRaptor also "Na-no-rap-tor" fits the same scansion & word stress pattern as "H-R-Gi-ger", or the same scansion (but different stress pattern) as "Hie-ro-nym-us". :D
I should definitely try writing some poetry some day about the geniuses of modern technological horror. <3

IHDVGA (Inconveniently High Density VGA) extension lead.

IHDVGA was abandoned early on as keeping pins straight turned out more difficult than expected.

Most manufacturers still turned a profit by selling the leads without shells as convenent groundable wire brushes.

@pencilears cute as buttons
@ireneista @atax1a I think I heard methanol was used, with the same effect, too?
@munin when I first heard this song https://steve.savitzky.net/Songs/bugs/ about the first law of cybernetic entomology ("there's always one more bug") I knew it was true but imagined that it would be because we'd never quite get around to eliminating them all. In retrospect, that was perhaps very optimistic because I never dreamed humanity would automate the process of putting new bugs in.

@munin I would bring up salt and number-used-once selection but those can just be random inputs to a deterministic function. And determinism is a VERY good idea.

@Salty I hope it works well for you ❤️
