im on the wikipedia article for the aes key schedule and its like. its not hard to implement but whats with the 11B??? why does it need the leading 1 at all

where RC sub i is an 8 bit value defined as:
1 if i = 1
2 times RC sub i minus 1 if i > 1 and RC sub i minus 1 < 80 hex
2 times RC sub i minus 1, XOR 11B hex, mod 100 hex if i > 1 and RC sub i minus 1 >= 80 hex

i call it 'the factory' and i drew it in wordle with my mind

redrawn pixel art wordle pattern, entirely gray and green. from rows one to five, the green tiles are as follows: fourth only, fourth only, second and fourth, one through four, and all five. together they vaguely resemble a factory building with two exhaust columns

example profile fields courtesy of @domi—fields now respect capitalization rather than being forced uppercase (which i like) and if theyre short enough multiple will be put on one line (which i have mixed feelings about). but most of all the 'joined' […] [Original post on merping.synth.download]

the badge here is odd for instance (orange is not really part of the mastodon palette) and i think 'posts and boosts' should be moved maybe inline with the activity tab selector instead of within the highest post, but i especially like that the tabs […] [Original post on merping.synth.download]

gee whisk if only there was some kind of 'natural language processing' tool we could use for this

searching for instances of 'MZ' in the rom file turned up precisely one sector aligned address. sure enough here it is in dosbox, though i think some of the other bin files mentioned in the binary which i did not extract probably point to fonts and such that are clearly not loaded here
