2024-04-01 01:18:29 <KipIngram   > A few resistors and a connector seems like it will do it, so long as you have a way to control the pins.
2024-04-01 01:19:11 <thrig       > old protocols generally had to be simple
2024-04-01 01:19:18 <KipIngram   > Point.

2024-04-01 01:27:53 <KipIngram   > Looks like GPG keys and other data files are tiny.  The binary itself is right at 1MB on my Fedora 36 system.
2024-04-01 01:28:24 <KipIngram   > The keys are just a few kB each, which is kind of what I expected since I've seen them in text form.
2024-04-01 01:29:31 <KipIngram   > I think part of this would be a highly reliable approach to storing the private keys, since they never come out / can't be backed up.
2024-04-01 01:29:54 <KipIngram   > I picture some kind of multiply redundant storage with error detection and correction.
2024-04-01 01:30:18 <KipIngram   > Keep tabs on them like we do with our SSDs - if the error count reaches a certain point, re-write a fresh error free copy.
2024-04-01 01:31:19 <KipIngram   > The rest (the public keys, etc.) wouldn't be as critical - you could pull those off and back them up if you wanted to.
2024-04-01 01:31:38 <KipIngram   > But they're so small it might pay to just protect all of them.
2024-04-01 01:49:06 <KipIngram   > Heh.  Fun:

2024-04-01 01:49:57 <KipIngram   > Someone has a LOT of patience.
2024-04-01 01:50:37 <KipIngram   > I wonder how big that GPG implementation would be in Forth?
2024-04-01 01:53:18 <thrig       > see also where GPG was rejected e.g. https://www.openbsd.org/papers/bsdcan-signify.html
2024-04-01 01:56:48 <KipIngram   > Hey, greenarraychips.com is showing down for me.
2024-04-01 01:57:07 <KipIngram   > Somebody else try it - maybe it's just me / my area.

2024-04-01 01:58:18 <zelgomer    > over tor, though, so take that with a grain of salt
2024-04-01 01:59:19 <KipIngram   > Probably is accurate, given that I'm not getting it either.
2024-04-01 01:59:28 <KipIngram   > I hope that's temporary and not a permanent closure.

2024-04-01 04:45:46 <KipIngram   > Ah, good - it's back up here too.
