Garlic Cashew Recipe

The article discusses selling roasted cashews as an experiment in capitalism and provides a ciphered recipe for garlic-roasted cashews. To access the decrypted recipe, readers can either become paid subscribers to the author's Substack or read it in the clear (unencrypted) on Nostr by navigating to primal.net and searching for "marc26z." The author encourages using encryption for privacy but not with weak cryptography. They also mention trying out PGP but finding it cumbersome, leading them to use Nostr instead.

Garlic Cashew Recipe

I wrote about selling roasted cashews as an experiment in capitalism here. I make them myself and in the spirit of free and open source software, I figured I would open-source the recipe with a catch. You can get the recipe in one of two ways.

  1. Become a paid subscriber to my Substack and you will get a key to unlock the cipher text
  2. Read it in the clear(un-encrypted) on nostr. The easiest way to do this is to navigate to primal.net in your browser and search for “marc26z.” Click on my profile and *you can find all of my writing in the clear in the reads section.

I tried using PGP in another article, but it’s a little cumbersome and pretentious. Andreas Grifin said,

. I tend to agree. So I’m using something else.

Decrypt using the passphrase below the paywall.

"To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to encrypt with weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for privacy.”

I do not indicate a desire for too much privacy here, but I like playing with these things. I hope you enjoy playing with them too.

How To Decrypt

  1. Go to encrypt-online.com/decrypt on your favorite web browser.
  2. Choose aes-256-cbc(this is the default setting)
  3. Copy and paste the cipher text into the decryption field
  4. enter the passphrase into the passphrase field
  5. press the Decrypt button
  6. Optional: Copy and paste the decrypted recipe into a markdown editor like dillinger.io
