Practical Collision Attack Against Long Key IDs in PGP
In response to the GPG.Fail attacks, a Hacker News user made this claim about the 64-bit "Long Key IDs" used by OpenPGP and GnuPG, while responding to an answer I gave to someone else's question: OK, to be clear, I am specifically contending that a key fingerprint does not include collisions. My proof is empirical, that no one has come up with an attack on 64 bit PGP key fingerprints.

Don't, uh
Don't use this. Don't let your family or friends use it. If you see it in your neighborhood, bang pots and pans, whistle, and scare it off.

Debugging some #asahilinux USB issues with 
@janneJanne Grunau and right now it looks like ATCPHY is even more cursed than we thought: At boot time, macOS powers up the usb2 PHY once, switches it to host mode and immediately shuts it down again even when no device is connected. I missed this so far but it looks like we actually need this if we want usb2 devices plugged in during boot to work reliably 🙃
@svenSven Peter still wondering why it even helps if we might just chasing the “ghost” of initializing the usb controllers in device mode in our m1n1 test setup. that needs of work as well

Good morning Fediverse.
Please always remember, we have enough bad examples. We need more good ones.
Looking for #music suggestions - something lo-fi for reading to, with hot chocolate cosy vibes. My go tos are Nala Sinephro and Zero 7 but fancying something new.
Bonus points for artists on 
@mirlomirlo.space or at least #bandcamp.

the purpose of a system is what it does, and it sure does this a lot, eh?
“WAGMI” — we're all gonna make it — was crypto's 2021 rallying cry. But those with wealth and power knew it was a lie, and that “all” just meant them. My latest traces the last five years from hype to technoligarchy — and why they're not all gonna make it either.

ICE hastily pressed thousands of poorly trained agents into service, anonymized them, gave them weapons, told them that protestors were evildoers, and shoved them into high pressure confrontations.
We *all* said that this was going to end with ICE openly murdering folks and it gives me no joy to be proven correct.

Please be aware that there are multiple videos circulating of the murder of the legal observer that happened today in Minneapolis. I don't think this is something worth watching even if i do think it's good that there is video evidence of this killing. be aware of what you are clicking, and disable autoplay where applicable.
please boost! 
Mario was recently detained by ICE and is being held at a detention center. He has a hearing on January 13th, and his lawyer is asking for $5,000 up front to represent him.
