  • What do you mean, the XOR Algorithm?? For this case, an AES-256 GCM AEAD (Authenticated Encryption, possibly with Associated Data) seems like the perfect use case. AES GCM is usually the most secure mode.

    I hope you didn't literally use XOR, so like you have some key stream the length of your data, XOR the key stream with the data to get some output. This is what some modes do internally, like AES CBC, but for an application you should just use something from a stable crypto library.

    If anything, keep to Rule Number 1: Never do your own Crypto.

  • All the Japanese language resources for a lifetime you need and then some more for lessons if you want.

    • Wanikani and Bunpro might be about 300€ together for a lifetime.
    • A few grammar books with extra exercises, like Genki, would be less than 200€ I think.
    • Writing supplies, a computer, Internet access etc is assumed.
    • 500€ Could likely get private tutoring for quite a few lessons I think. You may also want to look at courses by the nearby university or language school, or get additional support resources.

    Japanese learning resources are really amazing nowadays. Tons of good free content too, like articles on grammar or YouTube Videos by people explaining stuff. If you cut Wanikani and Bunpro and go with Anki (FOSS) instead for SRS, you can go really cheap.

    That is, the price you pay for learning the Japanese language is also that it takes a fuck ton of time to get anywhere. But then again, you understand Japanese after that, how cool is that??

  • Got a Framework 12 and have all sorts of tiny annoying but somewhat manageable problems with it.

    It used to overheat and then throttle to 400 Mhz every few seconds on high load. Overheating meaning 100°C. After a long time being annoyed and thinking "did I do something wrong" I reached out to support, and eventually got a new motherboard. It's better since then, but it still gets hot quickly. Also, if I just idle, like maybe a few Browser tabs and that's it, it will get somewhat warm ~65°C and I just don't get it.

    For some reason, it sometimes does not find my hard drive on boot. Works the second or third attempt, and is no software problem.

    The light detection thing has to be disabled in software to be able to use the brightness buttons.

    At the start, my wifi sucked really bad, just on this device.

    Having some more ports than just the audio jack and the extension cards would be neat too.

    Also, it was really expensive.

    So yeah, I sadly wouldn't buy it again, I think. The concept is really neat, but I've had too many annoying little problems. I still do use it as my main computer, and it works reasonably well, is light and well transportable, works with my docking station easily, etc, but those issues are annoying.

  • Why JK though? There are many financial options to at least get more returns than inflation, working for people without fuck you money too. It takes some financial education that we likely have to learn ourselves, but there are options. And it's possible to reasonably lower risks and costs enough by selecting the right financial products.

    Though obviously, if you just buy what the bank guy says, the bank will make the profits, not you.
