  • It’s the never ending battle between what’s secure and what’s practical. In order to have widespread adoption, it has to be easy. In order to be secure it requires layers of complication.

    It’s a yin/yang battle.

    A bank vault with walls 2 feet thick, 24/7 surveillance and requiring a two key unlock mechanism is secure compared to a house door lock on a regular suburban bungalow, but is it very practical?

    The level of digital security generally attainable is limited by how likely someone is to use it.

    2FA using keys is the closest I’ve seen to a happy medium, but it has to be implemented correctly. If the private keys are sitting on a cloud server somewhere and it gets hacked, is it more secure? Maybe not.

    Just like real defence, the walls are only as good as the foundation or weakest point.




  • I keep getting this sinking feeling that this is all leading up to a precise and coordinated attack of evil.

    Russia bombards the EU, the US attacks Greenland and Canada, while Israel finally bulldozes Gaza and Iran. China takes Taiwan and the south sea.

    All at the same time so NATO is overwhelmed and can’t decisively defend it all without risking spreading too thin. No matter what happens, one of the bad guys gains ground.

    I honestly have no idea if this is even possible, it’s based on a dream I had a few weeks ago.

    Disturbing thought though.
