My video showing how to swap out an electronic safe lock and replace it with a mechanical safe lock is here…
Me and my partner picked up our sushi habit inspired by you! We live in different cities, so ours isn't as regular as yours, but one day I hope it will be.
One trick we figured out: we wanted to cut down on plastic waste, so instead of saran wrap we use a silicone baking sheet from ikea cut down to the size of our bamboo mats. Used together with the bamboo mat they give a better feel than full silicone sushi mats. (also they make uramaki a breeze! You can eliminate the flipping entirely because the rice won't stick to silicone.)
so, given that everything about the form factor is standardized, and how easy that swap was with most of the difficulty going into things specific to the mechanical lock, how long until we start seeing open-source electronic safe locks? i'd love to see something combine the ease of use of electronic safe locks with the auditability of mechanical locks. and please, please put a capacitor bank somewhere in there with some nice isolation circuitry to cut out the differential power analysis attacks
Any recs for where to get the fish?
Could you do another going into how to source fish? I live about 150km inland, and fresh fish is generally not an option.
Also, another fun thing to try doing is omelets! Eggs are (mostly) cheap, and you can make spectacular breakfasts with a little skill and literally anything you can find in your fridge. The best bit is, like the sushi, if you screw it up, you have a bowl of scrambled egg and other stuff. There are so many kinds, too, that working your way through mastering each can be a lot of fun and a long, enjoyable quest.
I suspect another reason the locksmith version of the DPA tool has a delay is to get better tips. My friends who did time as locksmiths got worse tips if they opened locked as quick as possible, because it made the task seem embarrassingly easy.
Cold war Sushi… what a nice combo.
my takeaway is "I'm an idiot, and you can too!"
Was not expecting the Mercury Stardust quote at the end. What a fitting quote to go out on though
I ran into one of those 8560 locks recently and I hate to admit; but it took me a minute to figure out how to reassemble it.
we learn so much from you bro
Sushi in restaurants IS expensive. I didn’t care in the past when I was working and had an expense account. Now that I’m retired I don’t often eat in restaurants. I hadn’t considered making sushi at home until just now when I saw this YT video. Think I’ll give it a try. Thanks.
What was the text you mentioned about using radiography in the Cold War? I didn't catch you saying it, but it sounded very interesting
Are the photos at 15:06 the ones I sent you? That looks a bit like my counter beneath them.
Came for the safe locks stayed for the sushi.
Deviant: "rules aren't real!" The island of japan since the 1800s: dies
I used to work in a government establishment and discovered that some of the combination locks (Chubb) had a disk of lead fitted behind the dial pack. The lead disk had a series of concentric circles cut into it. I guess they were to cheap the get the plastic dial pack version 🙂
Excited to hear this Cold War classified documents talk now
I would love to hang out with you sometime when you come to Portland.
03:39 🔒 Safes aren't impenetrable; their purpose is to delay and deter attacks, not prevent them entirely. Understanding risk management and threat profiling is crucial.
07:24 🛡 Mechanically, safes rely on small lock casements to control bolts, demonstrating how a tiny movement can have significant downstream effects.
10:48 💻 Government facilities are moving away from mechanical locks towards electronic ones for convenience, despite potential vulnerabilities and backdoors.
13:20 🚪 Recent incidents, like Liberty Safe's cooperation with law enforcement, highlight concerns over privacy and security in electronic lock systems.
18:11 🏛 Senator Wyden's office's involvement in questioning lock manufacturers' policies underscores the importance of public advocacy for better security practices.
20:26 🛠 Differential power analysis (DPA) is a method used to extract information from integrated circuits by analyzing power consumption.
21:50 📊 DPA works by monitoring power fluctuations in integrated circuits, allowing attackers to infer operations and extract sensitive data.
23:42 ⚡ DPA reveals that reading a '1' from memory consumes more power than reading a '0', enabling attackers to discern data bits from power consumption patterns.
25:18 🔒 A black box device exists that can exploit DPA vulnerabilities in electronic safe locks, allowing for quick and covert access without leaving traces.
27:49 🏦 Many electronic safe locks are vulnerable to DPA attacks, potentially compromising the security of valuable assets.
29:43 🕵♂ Mechanical safe locks, especially those rated as Group 1, offer higher resistance against manipulation and are preferred for securing valuables.
30:51 🔄 Some safes feature modified locks, like Group 2M, which provide manipulation resistance at a lower cost.
32:29 🛡 Certain safes, like Group 1R, are designed to resist radiological attacks, showcasing the evolution of security measures in response to covert threats.
33:27 🔑 Mechanical safe locks offer simplicity and reliability, making them a preferred choice for securing valuables, especially for individuals concerned about potential vulnerabilities in electronic locks.
35:18 🍣 Thursday night sushi-making became a skill-building routine, showcasing the enjoyment and learning potential of experimenting with cooking and food preparation.
40:29 🍣 Sushi isn't always raw; plenty of sushi is cooked or vegan.
41:11 🥒 Sashimi is a great low-carb option for sushi nights.
41:25 🌱 Sushi can be vegan-friendly with options like cucumber rolls or marinated root.
42:21 💰 Making sushi at home can be cost-effective compared to restaurant prices.
43:30 🍣 Basic supplies for making sushi at home include a sharp chef's knife and a bamboo rolling mat.
44:53 🍚 Properly rinsing sushi rice is essential for a good texture; use recognizable sushi-grade rice.
46:45 🍣 When making sushi rolls, chop and fold the ingredients to manage heat and moisture distribution.
47:57 🥢 Use full-size Nori sheets for sushi rolls, as they can't be made larger once cut.
49:45 🥑 Check avocados for ripeness by removing the stem and inspecting the color.
51:48 🍣 Making sushi rolls is not overly challenging; advance and crimp while rolling to shape them.
53:57 🤹♀ Get creative with sushi fillings, such as adding rice cracker for crunchiness or using crushed vegetable snacks.
Coincidentally I recently had a vegetarian sushi weekend at home recently because I have been missing sushi & other Japanese recipes fiercely after acquiring a fin fish allergy in the last year. Thank you for the tip of crushing up rice cakes for crunch! I need to try that. I was missing the tobiko/masago pop and have tried quick pickling small bits of carrot & that works pretty well, but I need to experiment more on size and shape for those. My next goal is to learn how to tempura fry veggies.
I've been considering acquiring a small safe for my house, I need to go back and review your info on safes & take notes!
32:22 Polish native speaker here: I was kinda hoping you would actually tell us the text we can read :DD
The harsh language from the person introducing Deviant at 0:06 was really shocking!
Your friends lock now has a key in the front too. Could you just pick the lock?
So YT is hiding your uploads & posts from my Subscriber feed, despite having the bell set to "All" =/ This is getting past silly with how many channels this is affecting, does anyone want to take a guess what these channels might be discussing:> 5 open spots to the types of channel content that YT is REALLY clearly making a push to smother at least from where I'm sat =(
what up with the "there isnt a proper way" stuff? literally half of them are physically impossible. its not about right or wrong, its about working.
I'm a complete outsider to these subjects, but I still enjoy these talks! Fascinating stuff
