Replying to a 10-year-old tweet is a power move in itself.
this is gold yet I don’t know anyone who would get it that I can share it with
I just shared it with a bunch of people while also telling them that I didn’t care if they didn’t get it and I wasn’t going to explain it.
They’re used to this.
Edit: 2 of them got it. That’s pretty good for me. I’ve played to smaller crowds.
That’s why we come to the internet. Real life people suck.
I wonder if you string together enough words can it be a valid key?
I would hope so, sentences and words are some of the most secure passwords/phrases you can use
Words are the least secure way to generate a password of a given length because you are limiting your character set to 26, and character N gives you information about the character at position N+1
The most secure way to generate a password is to uniformly pick bytes from the entire character set using a suitable form of entropy
Edit: for the dozens of people still feeling the need to reply to me: RSA keys are fixed length, and you don’t need to memorize them. Using a dictionary of words to create your own RSA key is intentionally kneecapping the security of the key.
While the joke is funny, what is the context? Why did she post the original tweet in the first place?
