@shodansafari oh no don't like this one at all

idea: using a 2FA service as a secure RNG (need a random number? try to login somewhere, collect the 6-digit codes they send you, and ... that's it! free numbers!)

I am undecided whether these are more maniacs than this family or the . These definitely have the advantage of being real, not an imaginary one.

@maddiefuzz @pafurijaz @chengdulittlea no, this one's very real - from a prize-winning photo series by journalist / photographer Gabriele Galimberti titled "Ameriguns", in 2018

So. In programming there is a standard notion of:

453 # This is a decimal number
0x453 # With 0x, this is hexadecimal (1107)
0b101 # With 0b, it's binary (5)
0o453 # Less common, but 0o for octal (299)

Imagine I introduce 0a for base 256 (eg ASCII)-- working the way unsigned int yelp = 'YELP'; in C would--

0aYELP # 1497713744

Am I committing a sin against the human mind?

@mcc go all-in and require all decimal numbers to be 0d11

If reality is so good why didn't they make a second one
