It pisses me off when people say a conflict is "just about land." As if it's about five year-olds fighting over a toy. Stupid fuckers - just because you rent an apartment in the city, you think land isn't important? Land is everything. You own land, you own valuable resources, water rights, fishing rights, farming/grazing areas, etc. Land is maybe the only thing in the world that it makes sense to fight over.

I'm bewildered by the thought that there are girls on the internet.
Men are gross! I mean, why would you even want to do it, yuck.
Italy and Greece is the place to go (looks like it's another stereotype with >>544 that southern men are hotter), but they are probably chock full of dirty, nasty immigrants these days. And since they are all have darker skin and speak foreign language, they would be impossible to tell apart. Not to mention that men are gross.

No. Am lesbian. Non practicing lesbian. It seems now I am old enough that everyone else has experience and nobody wants to be my first time. I live in a small college town and there ain't too many grills here; I teach right now so I'm not trying to have sex with an undergrad. I also may have legit aspergers.

I don't think sex tourism is for me anyways. It's was an interesting flight of fancy but I don't think I'd enjoy it if I had sex that way.

sorry for making you all read mi diario amigos just wanted to clear that up i agree with you men are gross

I'm sure this is all obvious advice, but I suggest visiting or moving to a place with a high density of lesbians. For example, I live in the Bay Area and its reputation for being a homosexual haven is actually quite true. Over half of my female friends are lesbian and they all say it's easy to get laid here. You can do it through apps like Tinder, by visiting one of many lesbian bars, or even just in your daily life if you're confident enough to flirt with people. Of course it's still probably going to be a little difficult if you're unattractive or socially awkward, but to tell the truth I've met plenty of nerdy, awkward, unattractive women who are still happily getting laid here. (And I'm sure you're much hotter than them, fellow DQNer!)

Then again, if it's just sex you're after, vibrators+porn is probably better, honsetly. I think the main advantage to real-life sex is that feelings of affection for your partner make it feel better. In any case, I wish you luck.

People here might think differently, but your first time shouldn't be with a hired escort. I mean, once you get money, it won't be hard to find a hooker who's willing to do lesbian but... I don't recommend having your first time to be with a prostitute. It's terrible. Awful. Don't do it. I would've much preferred to swallow 20 minutes of awkwardness and rejection than doing that shit.
Try tinder or something.

I've got a couple of projects in mind for IPFS, one being a standard DNS TXT static website.

Yeah, a bbs would be awesome, but I don't understand how you'd get the most recent commit. I still don't really know how it all works, but what it looks like to me is that the hash of the commit you have can only point to previous commits of itself and can't be altered. If you were to make a bbs with this, how would you get the most recent comments?

588 Name: i L_T`j : 1993-09-8256 00:27

Have they actually tested handling of hash collisions?

589 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8256 01:27

>>588
I was wondering that too, so I looked into it. Unless the algorithm that designates that hash is just prone to collision, then the 32 byte hash should make it statistically unlikely that a collision would occur. There are 2^256 = 1.16e77 possible hashes. Say that hashes were generated every millisecond, then you would use all the hashes at 1.16e77ms*(1s/1000ms)*(1min/60s)*(1hr/60min)*(1day/24hours)*(1year/365days)*(1(age of the universe)/(13.8e9years)) = 2.67e56(age of the universe). But if there are reasons to be concerned about hash collision other than the size of the hash, I'm not aware of them.

590 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8256 01:46

>>589
Also, there should be someway to calculate the probability of a collision happening within in one age of the universe using the birthday paradox, but I'm not smart enough to do that.

That's not very reassuring. We used to think md5sum was good. Now we don't, and we've known how to create collisions for it for a decade (http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/md5collision/). SHA-1 is a 160-bit hash that we used to think was good. We now have (kinda) collision generation for it (https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/967 - read the Recommendations at https://sites.google.com/site/itstheshappening/ for a good overview of where on the enot goodf scale it falls).

To invoke the birthday paradox as you requested, the average time before A Bad Thing is given by the time to generate 2^(256/2) hashes for a 256-bit sum. Using your calculations, it's ~1e17 * AOU. Note that the same calculations for SHA-1 yield ~3e4 * AOU, and SHA-1 is considered unsafe. Even the humble md5sum yields ~0.04 * AOU, and I can generate a collision in seven minutes on a five year old personal computer (http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/md5collision/).

Who is to say that their hash function will never be enot goodf? Is there a way of sanely upgrading the infrastructure to use a different hash function later?

Alternately, there could be a very good reason why the hash can't be exploited. Git's design makes hash collisions only detrimental to the collider (you can't use a SHA-1 collision to send a poison commit that screws up a remote repository, it just results in your commit getting dropped (I think)). I don't immediately see that similar logic applies to this project, but if it does, it would be the best-case scenario.

Thanks for the resources! As for a sane way to upgrade from SHA256, the first two bytes specify what hash they are using: "the first two bytes in hex is 1220, where 12 denotes that this is the SHA256 hash function and 20 is the length of the hash in bytes \ 32 bytes." I'm guessing they included that so that the hash could be changed at some point. That's just my guess though.

Nodes broadcast "I'm interested in this board" and others interested in the same board scan around to find it (if I understand the DHT mechanisms correctly).
When you post, your node's IPNS reference updates; others pick it up, merge the difference into their copy of the board, and broadcast the new board; this repeats ad infinitum until every node sees the same board. It'll be one giant self-updating graph of replies pointing to posts pointing to threads.
There would be no way to trust who posted when, so every post must be a reply to another, and ordering of sibling replies would remain unspecified. Also, spam mitigation would probably have to involve blacklisting nodes.
You could run a node yourself or visit a website running the same software, and it wouldn't matter.

>>588-590,594
I don't think birthday collisions are an interesting problem on this scale or for this system, because you'd need a universe's worth of data for one to occur. Targeted attacks are more of an issue, but not in the near future. SHA-1 is unsafe, but the current cost to generate a collision is around $70,000, and the hash can be changed when SHA-256 suffers the same fate, as >>598 says. (Git, meanwhile, isn't interested in any of this because it is not designed for security. Trusting a commit is for the repo owner to worry about.)

I somehow managed to graduate high school and immediately moved out with a person I was engaged with. Long story short, I wasn't ready to live on my own and now I'm back at NEET status and scrambling to collect pieces of my life together. I'm selling 90% of what I own to save money so that I can afford taxis to a job (I never got my driver's license). I wasted a lot of time and I'm kind of paying the price for it.

I don't necessarily think it'll all be too hard , I'm still only 21 so I have my whole life ahead of me. I've got no support system though, but I can't expect my parents to help me out more than giving me a place to sleep, especially with that I have been putting them through.

From what I can tell, a node can only broadcast that they are interested in a particular version of the board. You can request a hash, but a hash is associated with only one version of one file (given there are no collisions) in the network. Any modification of that file would no longer have the same hash. The file would have no way of predicting what the next hash would be, since the hash is determined by the content, which supposedly it wouldn't know at least in the case of a BBS. I'm still learning about this, so I could be completely wrong.

I temporarily freed myself from the albatross but it'll be back again tomorrow.

Who here poops from their butt? Don't be ashamed, raise your hands.

I'm hesitant to admit it.

Look duderino the problem you're pointing out would apply to the most recent version of any website, e.g. news

There has to be a standard way of dealing with this somewhere

You're not wrong, but you don't have the full story. There's no need for the board to be the only data your node has.
https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/15
Concretely, every node interested in the same board (on the same BBS protocol and version) would run something like echo 'dqn@ipfsbbs.0' | ipfs block put, and then ipfs dht findprovs <blockname for dqn@ipfsbbs.0> to find other nodes who have done the same.
I haven't actually tried that yet though, so I could still be mistaken in what exactly is supposed to happen.
