#opaque — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #opaque, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Today was #rage and #pullrequests.

    1. Yes, #hardcoded #opaque identifiers are a little tiny bit faster in this task that runs for a couple of minutes on an irregular, on-demand basis. But maybe you should look up those monstrosities starting from their #humanfriendly equivalents which are much more descriptive.

    2. Fine, you wrote some #shellscript with #LLM. It's not very #DRY and it interfaces poorly with the #pipeline syntax. This will require #commits to a branch, not just a #review.

  2. Credit card companies in Canada (and elsewhere) have been imposing draconian restrictions on the use of their payment networks for anything even slightly racy -- digital Puritanism, enforced by a handful of companies that have a combined monopoly stranglehold on payment systems.

    Risque video content? Racy text? Erotic drawings? All forbidden to one degree or another, by un-elected moral crusaders that you simply can't choose to not use. If you're a content creator depending on payments / subscriptions, you can be demonitized instantly, with no explanation and no recourse, at any moment. Goodbye, income!

    This petition isn't perfect - it's written solely from the point of view of someone concerned with the effects on the videogame market, not any other type of content creator - but it's a start. If you're in Canada and want payment processors to not engage in such discriminatory practices, take a look at this (brief) petition and consider signing it.

  7. OpenBSD has decided to give #FILE a #makeover by making it #opaque because, you know, #transparency is so last season. 🎩✨ Meanwhile, developers everywhere are left to wonder if their #debugging #skills are good enough to see through this fashionable #change. 🤔🔍

    "most on e left tend to think of #darkmoney as exclusively a tool of #Republicans & #conservatives, e fact is tt #Democrats & #liberals also benefit heavily fr #opaque #politicalspending. Per #OpenSecrets, so far tis yr, Biden has enjoyed more dark$ support than Trump. Armiak says most #progressives hv just given up on e fight against dark$ #influence bec “so many organiz'ns, advocacy gps, & #campaigns depend on dark$ now”

  9. I was wondering if there is already #GPU #accelerated #bruteforcers for hash-to-curve
    datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc93 out there?
    and going beyond just "simple" h2c, 2hashdh prf H(pwd, H2c(pwd)^k) seems to be popular, might as well also inquire about their support. #opaque is one case where this is being used.

    does anyone know?

  10. #Adesina criticizes #opaque #loans linked to #Africa's #resources

    The head of the #African #Development #Bank is calling for an end to loans given in exchange for the continent's #rich #oil #reserves or essential #minerals used in #smartphones and #electric car #batteries.

    This type of #borrowing has plunged many #African #countries into a #financial #crisis.

    “They're just bad, first and foremost, because you can't value assets properly,” #Akinwumi Adesina said in an interview with The Associated #Press in #Lagos, #Nigeria, last week.

    "If you have #minerals or #oil under the ground, how do you find a #price for a long-term #contract? It's a challenge," he explains.

    Linking future revenues from #natural #resource #exports to loan #repayments is often presented as a way for recipients to obtain f#inancing for #infrastructure #projects and for lenders to reduce the #risk of not getting their money back.

    The shift to #renewable #energy and #electric #vehicles has caused a spike in demand for essential minerals, which favors this type of lending. The agreement between #China and the #Congo illustrates this well. Beijing thus exploits the world's largest #reserves of #cobalt, a mineral used to #manufacture #lithium #batteries.

  11. note: the OPRF testvectors are only a formality, since in libopaque we are already compliant with the #IRTF/#CFRG testvectors for #OPAQUE which used #OPRF so we know we are compliant - indirectly.

  14. woohooo good news! thanks to the awesome @joostvb and some help from @NGIZero libopaque is about to be included in #debian (and all dowstream distros, like #ubuntu, #raspian, #devuan and #kali ftp-master.debian.org/new/libo

    it only has to pass the ftp NEW queue manual review.

  16. interesting review of the current OPAQUE draft of the IRTF/CFRG:

    mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/

    it rattles on some of the security promises of the original protocol that are not quite proven for the current draft. #crypto #opaque #irtf #cfrg
