"A good disguise does not reveal the person's height." (--Silvio Micali, cryptographer).

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 59 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Pshh, why would I take advice on anonymity from a guy whose full name + job you just doxxed?

The quote is from a well known published paper of his, but yeah, good point.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Do you know how tall he is? No? Then shut up!

You can be a professor of a thing, for example. You don't have to be the thing.

Surely it’s better to appear to reveal the person’s height and not actually do it. Maybe she’s 130cm and wearing stilts or 210cm and just kneeling.

Or maybe it's 3 racoons under a blanket !

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 11 months ago

5 basketball players under a thimble!

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago

No its definitely that, but how tall is she/they?

[–] solrize@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago

Maybe she’s 130cm and wearing stilts

Or the old 3 raccoons in a trench coat, heh.

You should also put some rocks in your shoes.

Or just wake up randomly with your knee sprained so badly it will not bend (for no reason at all) forcing you to alter your gait and walk like a geriatric paraplegic

[–] InnerScientist@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Did that, how do I get back to my regular walking rhythm now?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 5 points 11 months ago

Maybe they've a hat or something else on that changes their height

But in this case I don't think you need to go that far
