But different doesn’t mean random. An attacker could test every possibility for that pixel rather quickly. Even faster if you know a bunch of the pixels are, for example, a shade of gray.
I found an explanation where they bring up the issues I brought up as well as some others.
https://blog.cloudflare.com/lavarand-in-production-the-nitty-gritty-technical-details/
They give an example with one red value for a single pixel. They don’t address my point that there are a lot of pixels like that one, maybe not all would be 50/50 like their example but a lot of pixels would have a much narrower range of values than randomness.
But they answer my second point about a hacker putting something in front of the camera with known values and that answer sort of takes care of everything. It boils down to, it doesn’t matter because the lava lamp wall output is mixed with other sources that an attacker doesn’t have access to.
I’m sure they’re smarter than me but my novice cryptographer brain doesn’t understand this.
Isn’t the string of numbers representing each pixel rather limited Aren’t all those sections of the image that have lava lamps limited to values somewhere in the reddish/blueish spectrum? Isn’t the gray background very non-random?
Apparently the camera is accessible in the lobby. They say people walking in front of the camera adds randomness. If I go there and hold a photo in front of the camera which I know the values of, doesn’t that compromise everything?
To be fair their site says they take the lava lamp output and combine it with entropy from two servers and probably do a lot of other stuff before actually getting random numbers. But I don’t get how the lava lamps photo setup is even close to being random
tried and failed to add image, so here a link: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/lava-lamp-encryption/
Ah darn. Well I’m sure you find some locally. Good luck!
PM me if you’re in the US I’ll send some

I have this one, it’s probably the most minimal https://a.co/d/1BycXW3
Ha, I thought this was a question and started to link to the lawfare article which came out today and has same title… because this was actually a link to the article and not a question
I love wireless charging. I don’t know how it would be a gimmick, except that it’s slower than using a cord (but I think the next generation is supposed to be really fast). They make DIY wireless chargers that you can wire up and put in things. I have two that I mounted under the little tray on top of my dash. I put my wireless charging earbuds case in the tray and it automatically charges while I’m driving. I have a flashlight that can charge there too. The tray is too small for a phone or else a phone could charge there. I’ve been thinking about putting one inside my nightstand at home https://a.co/d/gdghAWp
I also like magnetic phone holders with wireless charging. I made mine out of a different type of mount and charger but it’s something like the link. I have one mounted to my dash where I can see the phone if I need nav or something, it holds it firmly and charges as I’m driving. Also mounted one on my desk next to the computer. https://a.co/d/7pauuzO
Very interesting. Is there somewhere I can buy a fork that doesn’t have those slots?
JFC, the person who started all this on Facebook says it’s false and these freaks are like “NOPE, THIS IS ALL WE CARE ABOUT NOW”

I’ve watched a lot of religious arguments and debates and, let me tell you, the religious have no problem whatsoever with lying. I mean, sometimes they’re wrong, sometimes they have a weird interpretation, but they also tell bold faced lies that are easily disproven. They do it often and even when proven to be a lie, they just keep saying it for years.
I was on a highway doing around 60 when the car in front of me suddenly spun around in a 360 and stopped. Luckily they were some distance in front and there was no other traffic. When I passed, it was a teenage boy in the passenger and his grandmother driving. She was yelling at him and reaching down between them trying to do something. I think he had pulled the e-brake just to see what would happen.

Biden is now a man with nothing to lose and a supreme court that said presidents can do any damn thing they please
In order to sue you have to show damages. It seems like she can only show benefits. Maybe she can gain more weight than she lost before she goes to court and start dating an asshole or something.
