This account features my thoughts on Technology, Science, and other thoughtful topics. I will endeavor to provide thoughtful discourse. This is, after all, a vessel of exploration in my banner!

My name Stefen is a portmanteau of Steven and Fennec, but it's still pronounced like Steven :3
My last name Auris is Latin for ear. Fitting huh? X3

There are many reasons why I end up feeling like #PrideMonth isn't meant for me.

Being demi makes a lot of gay cis male spaces uncomfortable. The way gay men objectify each other tells me a lot about the shitty beliefs a lot of men have towards women.

Stereotypes like, "Oh, you're a bottom? So you must be bad at math." Or even, "Oh, you're a bottom? So you must be lean and feminine-coded."

Or the accusations of catfishing because, if you have boundaries, that means you must logically be a "dom".

These are all things that I've been told at least once by someone over the years while being rejected from other queer folks.

Put the finishing touches on these Italian Rainbow Cookies this morning, but #PrideMonth styled instead of traditional. ^^

Love bringing stuff like this to our Pride Fest to share! This time around doesn't check any dietary boxes, but next one will!

This museum exhibition has the strongest point-and-click videogame room energy.

OMG. Apparently tons of people have been generating secrets on an old server-side key generation website that had incredibly weak entropy. Like, 10 bits or something.

The website was allkeysgenerator[.]com. Here is a dump of 1000 keys generated on it. Searching for the URL finds hundreds of people recommending it for key generation.

Some of these snippets have hundreds of GitHub results.

The exact algorithm is unknown but (see below) It generates extremely predictable strings, you can visually see how the delta from character to character is almost constant. Thanks @dramforever for doing some analysis here. Their script here can generate the vast majority of sequences from this website.

Update: This script generates the entire list from a single seed, and large chunks of another.

I'm certain you can break into production websites using these keys for cookie signing etc.

One thing I have been remaining mindful of lately is how all decisions, no matter how seemingly practical, do carry moral implications.

Even after three visits, I still get goosebumps as I push open the heavy doors and step inside once more.

Built in the 1920s, this stunning oval powerplant control room is one of the most impressive examples of Art Deco industrial architecture in the world.

Me: OK, I have to get systematic about testing out this change I made, let's figure out what all has been affected by this rewrite.

Code: Yeah so turns out like 15 of the 70 APIs you modified aren't actually called by anything anywhere at any time and should have been deleted, I dunno, four years ago?
