To everyone who got here through Twitter or Facebook or Hacker News or whatever: THIS IS NOT ME.

The "Me" in this transcript is @raddevon, who shared his story first on reddit.

Hello software developers,

Please check your code to ensure you're not making one of the following mistakes related to cryptography.

I. General Mistakes

Writing your own home-grown cryptography primitives (For example: Mifare Classic)
- Exception: For the sake of learning, but don't deploy it in production.
Using a fast hash function (e.g. MD5, SHA256) for storing passwords. Use bcrypt instead.
Not using a cryptographically secure random number generator

Using Apple’s Aerial Screensavers on Ubuntu After coming across the [Aerial] (https://github.com/JohnCoates/Aerial) screensavers for Mac, and installing them, I decided that I had had enough of the graphics-demos of my Ubuntu Precise system. I hope to provide a simple guide on how to add them to your setup as well.

First, you need to install xscreensaver (for example with aptitude, but your distro should have it):

sudo aptitude install xscreensaver

	exit ("Usage: markov <input file> [words] [prefix] [minWords]\n");
	}

	$text = file_get_contents($argv[1]);
	$map = map($text);
	$words = $argv[2] ?? 20;
	$minWords = $argv[4] ?? 10;
