I've been reading the General Report on Tunny while learning how the Lorenz SZ42 worked... and I've built a little hand-cranked model of just the five chi wheels (41, 31, 29, 26 and 23 cams).

With the psi and motor wheels gone, the key stream is just the chi stream, so the period is the product of those five numbers. That seems huge on paper, but each bit stream on its own repeats very quickly.

How would you attack a chi-only machine in practice? Is it basically trivial once you have a bit of depth, or is there more to it than that? I'd love to understand why the psi wheels mattered so much!!

I've been working with Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse and Power BI for a few years and I'm keen to pick up some freelance work alongside my job. The general freelance sites seem flooded and are mostly after web dev or Excel work, not Power Platform.

Where do Power Platform freelancers actually find clients? Microsoft partners subcontracting, LinkedIn, specific communities, contacts from previous roles? I'd really appreciate hearing what's worked for you.
