About: I will gladly follow back webmasters and admins of small instances, especially those interested in cryptography, ciphers, language, encoding, and writing systems. Many large instances seem to be automated echo chambers and rage outlets with nothing new or useful. See the tags and pinned posts below for the kind of things that interest me most.

Got it. Thanks for the heads up. Fixed (I think).
Also, would this method work with Akkoma, or has it diverged from Pleroma enough to make this irrelevant?
Thanks. That was quick. I'll report back if I have any problems.

I cannot find any documentation for how to install friendica using sqlite driver instead of mysql. I already know how to do the standard installation with mysql but I want to use sqlite instead.
I need help with installing and running via sqlite backend and tips on how to minimize database storage size. Is there any documentation on this? Has anyone done it?
How to install pleroma using sqlite instead of postgres?

If you are referring to MEGARAND, no. There is no need for that since all of that has already been done over the years for the underlying primitives:
/dev/urandom ... b2sum ... shuf ... chacha20 ...
These primitives have been run through the gauntlet for years and are known to produce or use very good entropy. Chacha20 is especially prized for this and taking already random data and running it through the chacha20 cipher with random keys and/or salts is a very nice hedge against patterns and biases. Megarand stretches these primitive outputs to build a much larger pool for wherever you might want a big initial pool for pads, tokens, seeds, whatever.
If you're paranoid you can run dieharder tests on the output, but it would just be placebo at this point.
Thanks for the link. I see you're not far from the home of Iris DeMent. She's a treasure.

Nice cat. You caught the blue eyes with just the right amount of laser vision.
How about a link to that podcast? If it has a RSS feed so much the better.

My people are like this:
You played hooky from school so you could hide under your favorite spruce tree and read books under the branches.
Despite all the chastisement, yelling, threats, and punishments, you refused to ever reveal your secret hiding tree. You would not ever let anyone take that refuge from you. They had their libraries. You had your hidey-hole.
When the principal gave you detention you played hooky from detention to read another book under the tree. You got extra weekends of detention for that and for refusing to tell the adults where you were at.
No reading was allowed during detention. You knew that was evil horse pucky!
If this make sense to you boost and follow.

This version is longer. The first minute shows the purpose of legal language: to claim possession of people and their property through identification with titles of authority:

If you have millions to throw at a IP attorney, you stand a good chance of the judge telling you that your case is dismissed because the other party is richer than you.

Same garbage in USA. A group of shell companies owned by one umbrella company controls access to legal case rulings. If you try to use Pacer at a courthouse you risk being harassed and treated like a terrorist--especially if it is a case you are working on for yourself. And let's not even discuss transcripts. It can cost arm, leg, and firstborn to get a transcript of a case. The legal profession and the courts are a racket designed to serve the rich.
The only bogus thing here is your baseless insinuation and false comparison.
You are insinuating that MEGARAND is built upon Fortuna or a copycat thereof. That insinuation is false. By calling my work, 'bogus' you are casting a baseless barb, or a slander against my work.
You are attempting to dissuade readers from examining the work by labeling it with a negative label. And you are also attempting to promote Fortuna instead, when Fortuna has nothing to do with my work. Anyone taking your false comment at face value would be dissuaded from reading my work.

Goldilocker is a brain wallet application for generating ED448 encryption and signing keys via OpenSSL.
Encryption keys may be stored offline as a complex passphrase or a seed phrase generated from the BIP39 word list.

KEYSTRIKE generates very, very random seeds that are truly random.
KEYSTRIKE uses /dev/urandom and several TRNG mixing techniques:
keystroke timestamps, doubling and shuffling, modulus and size truncating.
The final output is a whitened, true random and pseudo-random mix.

MEGARAND Extreme Overkill Random Seed Generator
https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/megarand
MEGARAND employs extreme overkill in the genration of a very large entropy pool. The output is extremely random as a result of several hashing, timestamping, shuffling, encrypting, and truncation techniques. MEGARAND is useful for generating large seed bases for key and passphrase material or for feeding to cryptographically secure PRNG software if high-speed outputs are required.

Crypto Color Prints are a memorable and data-dense documentation paradigm with a color-coded, structural scheme. The scheme forms a simple framework for publishing and improving primitives and protocols with a focus on both cooperation and implementation.

Hexlish Alphabet for English, Constructed Languages and Cryptography: Automatic, Structural Compression with a Phonetic Hexadecimal Alphabet
Hexlish Alphabet for English, Constructed Languages and Cryptography: Automatic, Structural Compression with a Phonetic Hexadecimal Alphabet
DOI : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13139469
Hexlish is a legible, sixteen-letter alphabet for writing the English language and for encoding text as legible base 16 or compressed binary. Texts composed using the alphabet are automatically compressed by exactly fifty percent when converted from Hexlish characters into binary characters. Although technically lossy, this syntactic compression enables recovery of the correct English letters via syntactic reconstruction. The implementer can predict the size of the compressed binary file and the size of the text that will result from decompression. Generally it is intuitive to recognize English alphabet analogues to Hexlish words. This makes Hexlish a legible alternative to the standard hexadecimal alphabet.
