Are there recommendable sources on how to learn solving/the concepts of a classic cube?
The website this post is on is a wiki that explains how to solve a lot of different puzzles like the rubix cube.
Watching The Holy Mountain, I felt like my life had been divided in 2 - that which came before watching it, and that which came after. Sure is an experience, and I certainly can't unsee a lot of it.
Watched it with some friends on shrooms for the first time. Incredible. All the movies we watched after it that night felt bland and uninteresting.

> The “Public IPFS DHT” is henceforth going to be called “Amino”. This follows along with the trend from 2022 in the IPFS ecosystem to use more precise language to create space for alternative options
I'd argue that "Public IPFS DHT", if less catchy, is far more precise than "Amino".
I think the point is that amino is just one public ipfs dht, so they renamed it, so that other public ipfs dhts can exist without confusion.

TBH I definitely consider Linux a niche use case. It’s an outlier relative to 99.99% of projects.
How can Linux be a niche use case for git if git was made as a version control system for Linux?

The author seems to have been working alphabetically, and didn't even get out of alt (for me the thread stops at alt.f*). So it's not exactly delivering on what title of the HN submission promises.
Is there more to the thread, actually looking at all 65k groups or a fair sample of them? Where can one find it?
The thread continues and he actually got through all of them.

I just gave nix a go and so far it seems great.
But do you know, if they’re a nicer options finder? The one I found where you just search all several thousand options kinda sucks. I want to just see my package (say, ssh) and just the ssh options, but the results get littered with irrelevancy.
I found this a few weeks ago: https://github.com/mlvzk/manix
An important point to note, that is not very obvious from the text, is that it is (very, very) difficult to retrieve ka from A=ka.P and kb from B=kb.P. For an attacker who has A and B, it's close to impossible to recover P and ka.kb.P
Isn't P always the same? Or is it shared before the exchange?
Edit: just looked it up and the base point for curve25519 is x=9 so no point in recovering it.
