If you make homophobic jokes about bad people, you're still engaging in homophobia and the vulnerable folks around you will remember that.

I was recently reminded of this.

A couple decades ago, I wrote a short paper that described how the basic approaches of cryptography and computer security lead to an efficient and practical privilege escalation attack against master-keyed mechanical lock, which I published in IEEE Security and Privacy (a nerdy computing technical journal).

TL;dr: Master-keyed locks have fundamental, exploitable weaknesses.

But I wasn't ready for what happened next.

New server, new intro toot!

Hin I'm Rob Vincent, also known as Rob T Firefly. I'm a hacker, artist, writer, performer, activist, engineer, comedian, and general-purpose nerd. I've been using Fedi since 2018. I'm part of the @2600 radio show @OffTheHook on #WBAI FM, and https://modern.technology is where I make original podcasts with my epic wife @gilahava704.

My forever home is https://RobVincent.net which is where I keep some grievously-outdated portfolios and a very dusty blog.

Hooray!

Nobody ever needs the bathroom in the #SuperMario universe, but there's still plumbing installed everywhere. ​

If you have _ever_ signed up for an email account, but are now complaining about choosing a mastodon instance… looks like you can figure this out, just pick one my dude. 😎

It’s rare that I get a lump in my throat and tear in my eye when writing a piece, but the letters from and about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by his spiritual brother and guide Thich Nhat Hanh were just that beautiful and poignant. More about the incredible friendship between these two great souls in my piece today.

Don't do it. 🍌❌

I wrote my snazzy #payphone pin to the #2600meeting and my friend @LambdaCalculus had the same pin. Then on my way home I encountered this sad payphone.

Those interested can obtain this cool pin at @wbm312's shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1279771245/2600-phreak
