What’s encrypting your internet surfing? An algorithm created by a supercomputer? Well, if the site you’re visiting is encrypted by the cyber security firm Cloudflare, your activity may be protected by a wall of lava lamps.

Cloudflare covers websites for Uber, OKCupid, & FitBit, for instance. The wall of  lamps in the San Francisco headquarters generates a random code. Over 100  lamps, in a variety of colors, and their patterns deter hackers from accessing data.  

As the lava lamps bubble and swirl, a video camera on the ceiling monitors their unpredictable changes and connects the footage to a computer, which converts the randomness into a virtually unhackable code.

Codes created by machines have relatively predictable patterns, so it’s possible for hackers to guess their algorithms, posing a security risk. Lava lamps, add to the equation the sheer randomness of the physical world, making it nearly impossible for hackers to break through.

You might think that this would be kept secret, but it’s not. Simply go in and ask to see the lava lamp display. By allowing people to affect the video footage, human movement, static, and changes in lighting from the windows work together to make the random code even harder to predict.

So, by standing in front of the display, you add an additional variable to the code, making it even harder to hack. Isn’t that interesting?

If you were looking for a sign that your “fresh start” will actually be a fresh start this time, this is it. Your fresh start begins now. You’ve healed, you’ve grown. It is finally time.

If I dumped you and moved tf away, wouldn’t that be a BIG ass hint. That I’m done.

You cheated, lied, used my own illness against me but I’m supposed to run back to you cause I’m sad. Sorry sweets

I’LL NEVER BE THAT SAD

I still love you

I still want to be in your arms. Get your forehead kisses. Play with your hair. Poke your nose. Drive around with you. Joke with you. Cuddle with you....

That text will forever play over in my head. My trust will take a lot more to rebuild now that the one who was supposed to be fixing it was the one who shattered it...

I will always love you. And that's why it will always hurt knowing I will never have you...
