<p>A conversation at last night&#39;s gathering...</p><p>&quot;Do you know whatshisface?&quot;</p><p>&quot;No.&quot;</p><p>&quot;He&#39;s the guy with the podcast.&quot;</p><p>&quot;No.&quot;</p><p>&quot;The angel investor... helped start BroCorp.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Still no.&quot;</p><p>&quot;He runs FounderWank.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Nope.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Anyways... Billy got accepted and is doing something with that.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Great!&quot;</p>

<p>I&#39;m done with this silly &quot;must be declarative&quot; and all this YAML and HCL and stuff. </p><p>I&#39;m transpiler all in and nobody can stop me getting my artifacts by rendering them out with real code. </p><p>And it&#39;ll be JavaScript/TypeScript or I&#39;ll do it all in Scheme because why not.</p><p>The next thing I&#39;m gonna be tired of is the convoluted syntax of Go and Rust. I could have stayed with Perl if I&#39;d wanted more sigils and fiddly bits in my language.</p>

<p>despite how janky-looking it is, their cryptographic scheme actually includes _some_ measure of replay protection (there&#39;s a sequence number in the encrypted blob)</p><p>it&#39;s still malleable, of course; you could conceivably flip bits in the ciphertext in the known positions to advance it</p>

<p>ciphertexts only do this when they&#39;re very distressed!!</p><p>(although i know the first bytes of plaintext, AES is resistant to CPA, so unfortunately this doesn&#39;t quite break it completely)</p>

<p>yes, &quot;set butt first&quot; is a legitimate log message it had from the factory, i didn&#39;t edit that in</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dramforever" class="u-url mention">@<span>dramforever</span></a></span> actually it was aliexpress</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dramforever" class="u-url mention">@<span>dramforever</span></a></span> correct</p>
