I just recently learned that cryptography was heavily regulated, in the US at least. What I mean to say is that in the older days (80’s - 90’s) it was illegal to export any encryption system out of the country. This was mainly due to concerns about the potential for these technologies to be used by adversaries to encrypt communications that could not be intercepted by intelligence agencies.

Obviously, cryptography is valuable, however it was unexpected to read about all the regulations in place regarding this subject, though, now I think it makes sense.

I found that Arch worked the best for me as my main OS, been using it for around 3 years. True that sometimes it’s a pain to set things up, but once it’s done, life’s just so easy!! Though, I use debian on my server.

Cryptography. It just fascinates me and I constantly want to know more about it.

But do you use Arch btw?

A few Theory11 playing card packs, because they’re beautifully designed. Besides that, some Bicycle sets too.

“The problem I’m having is that I don’t exist online when people try to look me up.”

That’s not a problem, that’s a privilege very few people get to enjoy. Fuсk social media and fuсk Facebook in particular.

still using my four year old redmi note 8 and yeah, the ir thing works well. I like xiaomi phones because they are so customizable, you can install custom OS and root it quite easily.
