I like seeing cool things done with BASH. Hat tip to the Greek letters.

Same garbage in USA. A group of shell companies owned by one umbrella company controls access to legal case rulings. If you try to use Pacer at a courthouse you risk being harassed and treated like a terrorist--especially if it is a case you are working on for yourself. And let's not even discuss transcripts. It can cost arm, leg, and firstborn to get a transcript of a case. The legal profession and the courts are a racket designed to serve the rich.

MEGARAND Extreme Overkill Random Seed Generator

https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/megarand

MEGARAND employs extreme overkill in the genration of a very large entropy pool. The output is extremely random as a result of several hashing, timestamping, shuffling, encrypting, and truncation techniques. MEGARAND is useful for generating large seed bases for key and passphrase material or for feeding to cryptographically secure PRNG software if high-speed outputs are required.

They are explicitly not running it via 9fans bridge. Access is via NNTP only.

Thunderbird sports a very mature NNTP interface if you have a newer computer. Claws-Mail also has a very good and fast NNTP interface, even on older computers. SLRN is available for a terminal-based interface.

Cryptologue Arcade - Crypto Darkpaper - Crypto Color Prints - Simplementation Scheme : A Color-Coded Method For Indexing Research and Documentation

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13149715

Crypto Color Prints are a memorable and data-dense documentation paradigm with a color-coded, structural scheme. The scheme forms a simple framework for publishing and improving primitives and protocols with a focus on both cooperation and implementation.

Hexlish Alphabet for English, Constructed Languages and Cryptography: Automatic, Structural Compression with a Phonetic Hexadecimal Alphabet (soc.octade.net)

Hexlish Alphabet for English, Constructed Languages and Cryptography: Automatic, Structural Compression with a Phonetic Hexadecimal Alphabet

DOI : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13139469

Hexlish is a legible, sixteen-letter alphabet for writing the English language and for encoding text as legible base 16 or compressed binary. Texts composed using the alphabet are automatically compressed by exactly fifty percent when converted from Hexlish characters into binary characters. Although technically lossy, this syntactic compression enables recovery of the correct English letters via syntactic reconstruction. The implementer can predict the size of the compressed binary file and the size of the text that will result from decompression. Generally it is intuitive to recognize English alphabet analogues to Hexlish words. This makes Hexlish a legible alternative to the standard hexadecimal alphabet.
