Bitax put out the NerdOCTaxe, which gets 9.6TH/s for 160w.

I wish Canaan put out an equivalent. I like their app. It's user friendly when Bitax's interface on this miner really sucks, and I'm looking to replace my Nano 3 (got the Q, which I love, but I want something that I can fit on my desk at work). The closest they have is the 3s, but that has been out for a while and the Bitax's thing has superior hashing with comparative pricing. The superior performance would make the Bitax perform better for longer. Wish Canaan had an equivalent.

Oh well

Interesting read, good information and something to look forward too in the world of cryptographic keys.

TIL the French government may have broken encryption on a LUKS-encrypted laptop with a "greater than 20 character" password in April 2023.

When upgrading TAILS today, I saw their announcement changing LUKS from PBKDF2 to Argon2id.

The release announcement above has some interesting back-of-the-envelope calculations for the wall-time required to crack a master key from a LUKS keyslot with PBKDF2 vs Argon2id.

And they also link to Matthew Garrett's article, which describes how to manually upgrade your (non-TAILS) LUKS header to Argon2id.
