Ya Bambu is the way to go rn

“Where are they getting money to pay for sponsorships and what are their motivations”

Just some background on the cryptography going on:

Its a hash of a fingerprint of your iris that isn’t used for access, it’s used for Sybil resistance, which is a bit different. You wouldn’t use this to prove you are eligible to vote, only that you haven’t voted already for a specific election.

Under the hood, the iris scanning ball thing is just adding you to a membership registry. When you actually go to use your membership, you are generating a semaphore proof, which is a zero knowledge proof that you are in the registry with some nullification output so you can only participate in certain events some number of times (like voting once). You wouldn’t use this by itself to prove that you are eligible to vote.

Generating secret keys from public data (iris)

These aren’t exactly secret keys, but, yes, I agree. Also the Minority Report vibes weird me out.

Ahh I see, I was thinking you already had POE ran somewhere and didn’t have other power options there.

They use a grounded faraday cage around it. Video on it where he touched on that https://youtu.be/fyai_kUYhLs

It’s USB-C, there are POE adapters. It’s low wattage using an esp32, you could absolutely use a USB c poe splitter for this.

**Get a Bambu printer. Do not get an ender. **

I own quite a few 3d printers and got into it in the late 2000s with MakerBot. I have learned a lot, and have tried to drag friends into the hobby, and most of them have been highly frustrated until Bambu came along.

Please, just get a Bambu printer, right now nothing else compares. Bambu isn’t fully FOSS (firmware isn’t) but people are working on open source firmware. Their slicer software is open source.

For printing anything for a car, don’t use PLA, I’d suggest PETG, ABS, ASA, or Nylon if you get a printer that can handle that (prob more than $300). PLA will warp in a car from heat/sunlight.

A Bambu A1 is $340 without the AMS lite. If you get that and like it, I’d recommend getting the AMS lite so you can do multi color and multi material prints. It can handle PLA and PETG which should meet most hobby needs. If you want to get into actually doing robotics stuff with it more seriously, sell the A1 and get a P1P.

I just switched, looks like uber is working for me

That just would allow a malicious attacker to fake being the server, it doesn’t actually compromise the TLS session. So you are talking about a much more sophisticated multi stage attack that needs to be actively executed. This wouldn’t at all allow them to record traffic and decrypt later.

The certs authenticate that you are talking to the real server, the symmetric session keys that are usually derived from a diffie helman key exchange have nothing to do with certs. That’s two separate (but connected) parts of the transaction to build a TLS session.

I work in cryptography, and I guarantee if that’s true “some person you know who worked in government security” would not tell you if they did know, or they are pulling shit out of their ass. There have been so many people that have looked at or worked on SSL/TLS implementations (including some of my coworkers), any vulnerabilities would have to be pretty subtle or clever, and that would be kept highly classified. Quit making shit up or repeating bullshit you heard.

I have, if you are nice it goes fine

They are so out of touch thinking this is a 1 dimensional problem

I think it’s pretty reasonable for a company as big as delta to wait a little bit to see how a patch rolls out before upgrading.

Yep, I wish more people would get this.

I’m still salty about Bernie being sandbagged. Not a big fan of how Kamala was shoved in either, but she’s impressing me more than I expected, I just hope it’s enough.

No worries, ya I looked into it about a year ago when I was seeing if I could make the switch, glad there is support now.

Grapheneos didn’t support pass keys last year when I checked, so you couldn’t use them at all. There was some APIs broken/missing between the OS to browser comms so you couldn’t use 3rd party apps for pass keys, like proton or bit warden. I have been actively experimenting and adopting passkeys and didn’t want to revert. It sounds like there is support now though, so I will give it a try soon.

Thank you! Idk why I was down voted, I appreciate it. I did a bunch of research on grapheneos last year around this time and it wasn’t supported yet.

We need consumer privacy laws

Agreed, do endeavour, plain arch (maybe with something like arch install), or hard pivot and try nixos. Manjaro has never really been a good option.
