you can get digital kits for a more reasonable price: http://www.stgeotronics.com/Enigma-Replica_c3.htm not the same as old school analog tech, but i'd still argue it's a neat demo of many principles

I went to this crypto museum last year and they had a large collection of enigmas and we weren't tuoposed to touch it but I couldn't help myself. It's a very satisfying machine.

In my college Real-Time Systems class we did projects on BeagleBones running Debian. One of my classmates decided that he was too smart to use such a poo poo OS even though it was distributed by the professor and required for the class. Instead he decided to use Gentoo.

The National Cryptologic Museum on the NSA campus is free and open to the public and has an Enigma machine that they encourage you to play with. I went a few months ago and it was pretty cool. I also bought some NSA branded socks for some reason.

I dunno if it's still a thing but a few years ago the Bletchley Park crypto myuseum was selling fully functional Enigma replicas in kit form that you built yourself. If you google around maybe they're still doing it.

quote:Additionally, considering the nature of supply chains, it is entirely conceivable that companies thinking they have purchased legitimate parts are now being impacted as well. With the difficulty of ensuring that components in a supply chain are genuine, this action by FTDI serves as a disincentive to use any part labeled FTDI in the future. can't have a counterfeiting problem if nobody wants to buy your gear in the first place

He still occasionally gets emails from internet crazies trying to get him to join a discussion list for some stupid nerd slap fight. I don't follow the decades long hurd debacle so I don't know any juicy technical gossip.

quote:It's time [to] explain the meaning of "Hurd". "Hurd" stands for "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons". And, then, "Hird" stands for "Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth". We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms. for some reason my eye twitched while reading that

making the first word in a recursive acronym the acronym seems like both cheating and a misunderstanding of what recursive means
