Security by obscurity does not work, because people are only so creative up to a point. Hence, there are only handful of configurations for the attacker to try out.
This contrasts to e.g. 128-bit secure encryption, which involves trying 2^128 times to break it - which is a number with whopping 38 zeros. It takes 10^22 years to break it with trying at 1GHz rate. It is simply incomparable, and adding a few bits of security by obscure combination is simply not worth it.
Yet, so many people and organizations seem to prefer obscurity to actual security.
It really depends on the purpose. Sometimes you can hide stuff in unexpected places when there isn’t much interest for other people to find it, or if they don’t even know about it’s existence.
Also sometimes it is good enough to just delay the discovery of something for a while, because its value after a certain time diminished completely.
So, I would argue that sometimes security by obscurity can be useful. But I agree that it generally shouldn’t replace proper encryption.
I know a dog called mister Dingleberry. Mister DingleBerry likes to dingle his berries. In dingling his berries he takes such delight, if he could he’d dingle his berries day and night.
One time, I remember it well, he dingled his berries so hard, he tripped over them and fell.
In dingling his berries he takes such glee, they say he dingles his berries mercilessly.
He dingles and dangles his berries berry hard. One time he got completely dingleburried under em and let out a fart.
The end.
I’ve learned a few things about some stuff to the point where I can definitely say I have some experience with them.
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
And osmosis is the hyper fusion of water across a semipermeable membrane.
I failed biology because I just refused to study (was an idiot), but that one always stuck with me.
midi-chlorians are the powerhouse of the Force.
You can clean cooking pans and pots by heating them up and then pouring water on them. As the water boils it pulls all the stuck particles off with little to no scrubbing.
You can also make a nice sauce if you use wine or some kind of stock.
Nope sorry
Fun fact: Female hyenas have dicks.

You can’t go faster than light because time and space are basically the same thing, and you’re always moving through both of them together at a constant rate.
When you stand still, you move only through time, at the top speed of one second per second.
When you start moving through space, your speed doesn’t change, only your direction. (You can visualize it as an arrow showing your speed that stays the same length, but rotates in a coordinate system from the time axis towards the perpendicular space axis.) So the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time.
At light speed, you’re moving only through space. Your movement through time is zero, so time stops for you.
Going faster through space would mean going back in time, which would break causality.To be fair, what even is “standing still”? I’m sitting in a chair in a spaceship made out of almost all the elements and water traveling around 220km/s relative to Sagittarius A.
It’s always in relation to a frame of reference.
Compared to earth, you’re standing still, so your time passes at the same rate as earth time.
Compared to Sagittarius A, you’re moving through space, so your time passes slower than that of Sagittarius A.
Causality is overrated. I’d be ok if we broke it.
What would we replace it with? The raw chaos of the universe in its unformed state?
But Causality isn’t OK with that.
When you stand still
That’s not really possible, though, right? It is at a macro level, but you’re never not moving in 3d space at small levels, right?
Alan Wake is a boolean operation between Alan Rickman and Rick Wakeman
Cheers! I’ve never needed to know this. It will probably become relevant in future, now. So cheers for this!
My old man was a fan of Yes, and so when they went on tour sometime around maybe 2003, I don’t recall specifically, Rick Wakeman came back to play keys for the tour, and it was a real treat.
You can just say intersection
I think “intersect” keeps only the shared sections, so it would give you “Rick Man”, the exact opposite of what we need. We’d need an “exclusion” or an “XOR” to retain the non-shared sections.
The real secret to the most delicious sauces you’ve ever tasted is one anchovy fillet chopped into paste and simmered into the sauce, for every litre/quart of sauce you are making.
It’s why the Romans didn’t use salt as a condiment, but fish sauce. The umami+salt is different and objectively better.
I just made Serious Eats All-American Beef Stew earlier today, and they call for anchovies (which I had none, so I substituted fish sauce) as the umami bomb. But even for folks who get grossed out by little fish, it gets blended with chicken stock, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce (and gelatin), to create the base. Fish sauce has become a staple in my house for certain recipes, it’s great.
And you can get 90% of the effect/taste by just adding more salt.
MSG, yes, kindof. Just adding normal table salt will only give about 50% of the effect of the umami punch that anchovies provide. Possibly less, and it’s far too easy to add too much salt.
ad infinitum… or ad kidneyitum, maybe
Young children don’t warn you when they learn how to open locks. Sometimes you find out when they’re rifling through your stuff or well down the road.
This reminds me of something my dad used to say
Put a piece of dark cooking chocolate in your bolognese sauce.
Socrates only knows enough to know that he doesn’t know anything.
The reason the Oracle of Apollo said “No man is wiser than Socrates” is because no man is wise, and Socrates is only wise enough to know himself to be a fool.
“That’s us, dude!” “Oh, yeah!”
I pronounce it So-Crates because of William S. Preston, Esq., and Theodore Logan.
Most excellent!
