Yearly update on my verifiable brute force strength gist.

- Bitcoin mining is still just shy of exhausting 95 bits annually.
- Distributed.net's RC5-72 project is still just shy of exhausting 65 bits annually.

We're still 10+ billion years out for completely exhausting every possible key in a 128-bit key space with the current Bitcoin mining power.

WTAF. MS Office is being rebranded to MS Copilot. There is very little "co" to it. It is Microsoft forcing down shite on its users.

Oh and naturally, the pricing get insane bumps too.

Curious how long the "enterprise" users will put up with this dumpsterfire.

Help with locating zines by topic, global politics (US/VE)

Does anyone know of any zines on reasons not to join the military/countering US imperialistic attitudes and behaviors? Accessible to high schoolers strongly preferred but will take literally anything. Please boost & add relevant tags if you know them! I don't do a lot of zine stuff!
