eMudhra screwed up, there’s no getting around that, but their now-infamous encryption key was not “just 4”. It was a 384-bit key, not a 3-bit key. I grok entropy, a key of almost entirely zeroes is easier to brute force than a more complex key, but it’s still not “just 4” 🤨

It was photography club at the Needle & Pin in Loughborough tonight, and this month’s subject was “creatures”. So these are my submissions. Sadly none actually taken this month; all from the archive.

So yeah, tree surgeons. That was a long, expensive day. But it’s all under control now and, hopefully, the neighbours are happier now. We can see the horizon now!
The view from our back bedroom window. A row of 30+ft tall leylandia and a very overgrown plumb tree. The same view with a lot less leylandia. A petrol wood chipper and a trailer almost full of wood chips. The finished product. A lot less tree and a view of the horizon.

Sometimes the way Apple Music conflates artists with the same name is annoying, even offensive. Other times you can’t help but laugh (although I’m not sure either Max Cooper would agree 😀)
A screengrab of Max Cooper’s artist page in Apple Music. It’s mostly full of his trademark algorithmic glitch electronica. The exception is “WALKING WITH GOD”, an AI slop generated cover with a beardy country western type playing guitar in front of a large cross at sunset.

I suspect the music will also be AI generated, as it’s copyright 2026 “vibesom”
