This article explores the fundamental ground field we all exist within and from which we arise to have our being. Ancients have called this (pro)creative ground the demiurgic field (DUF). Entranced by modern day hustle and bustle, we tend to favour our cognitive intellect, the ‘sky energies’ or light forces. Here we seek to explore the "darker" primordial matrix of chthonic energy that shapes or artifices the way we are. We conclude by listing some ways that this energy system can be seen in our day to day world - how we can "touch and be touched by the DUF"; so to speak, including a system of learning "artificer learning" that draws from this energy.

Interesting story.
Did I miss it? Is there a location for this Dyson Sphere? If it's anywhere nearby, the grav effects would be noticed, if not the sphere itself.
I love stories like this...but a grain of salt is suggested.
Too bad you've never heard anything more.
If the system is also low on main RAM memory, parts of the get password routine could be swapped out to hard disk and thus plaintext could show up in a cached swap file

I forgot about the days of constrained memory and swapping when I wrote that. Good point. It could very well have hit the swap file at least once.
What do you make of the 'text file of hex digits'. The only thing that comes to mind is opening a binary file in a text editor that displays, when it thinks data is binary not text, with a dump of hex values. Adding that seems odd for someone who is computer savvy and capable of attacking encrypted data.

I remember reading about Dyson Spheres last year-really fascinating stuff. Well I guess I'll be scrounging every forum I can for more info on this. Would definitely be mind blowing to see.

The distance of the interior shell surface from that centre sun
would be just enough so that all inhabitants would receive
just enough sunlight so as to NOT burn themselves to a char.
There would NO NIGHT TIME since that since that sun would
be sending energy in every direction but the inhabitants
could make artificial darkness by floating blocks of material
in between the shell inner surface and the interior sun to
form a large enough shadow that it simulates darkness
over a large area.

It would be almost unfathomable to see that much
living space that could be made on the interior space
of a Dyson Sphere.
