cryptographic noise

When you try to decrypt something using AES_256 or similar, using the wrong decryption key, the result is cryptographic noise. Cryptographic noise is data that might as well have been randomly generated, as it is not even close to the original, no matter how similar the decryption key you put in is to the correct decryption key. This is as a result of the strong diffusion and confusion principles employed by modern encryption standards like AES-256. Even if youre only slightly off from the correct decryption key, say you forgot to capitalise a letter, you will never get a "partially correct" or "degraded" version of the original data. It will generate what one might describe as "corrupted, meaningless garbage, taking up space on your computer."

White-Noise Blues

The difficulty you experience falling asleep, when you've become accustomed to playing a podcast or YouTube or tv shows before bed. And then you're traveling and have to sleep somewhere without internet reception. So your bedroom is way too quiet, and there's no external jabbering to interrupt your own existentially tormented thoughts.
"Hey, Edna. Glad to see you're back. How was the camping trip?"
"It was great, but I really didn't get very good sleep while I was out there"
"Oh really? I figured without all the hub-bub from the city, you'd sleep a lot better"
"That's what I thought! But I just felt isolated instead"
