An SSH key's randimart image, but instead of many random graphics chars, just a single "4" in the middle of a large, empty space.

For those bitten by #eMudhra, as well, here is a collection of some memes which were shared with me on the occasion.

I hope you enjoy them. You know of more? Share them, please! (#PHP2shell #PHPocalypse is acceptable, too.)

Don't forget to `s/RSA/ECDSA/` in the first two.

@marcel should be all zeros and a 4, and it also should also have a meter in big bold numbers to show how much power is used. almost as bad as if they were burning coal just to watch the smoke.

In the OP, I mentioned that these are not my images.

After having to deal with some security vendors' rather glacial speed this week of removing the eMudhra intermediates, I'm happy for any image which provides some comic relief, independent of the details (see RSA/ECDSA further above).

Since the beginning, I labelled the Lava lamps as PR, not security. It has the advantage of beinbg able to start security discussions with laypeople. I'm glad for that.
