So I’ve been trying to create more secured passwords now that I have employment where I have responsibility. They require us to change our passwords every 3 months. I used to use the same passwords for multiple sites. Then I used a password manager and got rid of those memory passwords. With this job I don’t want to mix my...
Using a prefix with a 40 char password is not really a good option because if this was compromised because it was let’s say intercepted then the attackers would easily be able to guess that if there is bank_suffix then facebook_suffix might be a good guess.
I once heard that the part of you that knows you are afraid is not afraid itself. This might be why your trick or others like reciting the Benne Gesserit litany against fear can actually work.
How often does one pay for free/libre software? Unless choosing to send a voluntary contribution to a project, which is not the same as paying in my eyes, it sure has not happened to me in over 25 years when it was easier to order a set of CDs than trying to download the ISOs on a 56k modem.
They are paying for support, not the software itself. A long time ago you could go to the store and buy a box containing the CDs for Mandrake Linux as an example just like you can do with windows right now. You were not paying for the software itself but for the media and the box. Even when you pay for a binary on windows, you pay for the service of them compiling it and making it available to you, not the software itself since it is free/libre.
‘Well it’s only passing mv a list of–’ yeah yeah yeah, I know, and that’s why I’m calling bullshit. It should be massively harder to execute filenames. Even if 1970s decisions make that the eternal hideous default: the lack of any idiot-proof standard workaround is incomprehensible....
Years ago (we’re talking decades) I ran into a small program that randomly generated raytraced images (think transparent orbs, lens flares, reflection etc), suitable for saving as wallpapers. It was a C/C++ program that ran on Linux. I’ve long since lost the name and the source code, and I wonder if there’s anything like...
This autonomous gun is capable of independently identifying targets with its thermal optics, identifying their range with its range finder, then engaging them at ranges up to 1.2 miles (2 km) with its Milkor MGL 40mm grenade launcher or its Daewoo K3 5.56 machine gun....
If someone told me over twenty years ago that one day I would not be using Gentoo, Enlightenment, screen, bash and ssh. I would have had a hard time believing it yet now I am using Arch, i3wm, tmux, fish and mosh. Gkrellm was always permanently running on my desktop at that time too.
The company I work in switched to a new building, and we have those stupid doors with RFID cards on them. I’d be damned if I’m going walk with that I’m-working-in-hightech-company-card dangling of my belt. I wonder if there is a way for me to use my phone for credentials. I tried searching for it, and all I could find is...
There may be phones that allow you to do this and there are also smart rings you may be able to use by cloning the card with a proxmark 3, a flipper 0 or other similar devices.
Can someone explain this one? What is funny is that I would gladly buy some of their latest games if only I could play them on GeForce Now but it seems like they do not want people to be able to play there.

I realized a gamechanger after 27 years of suffering -- when anxious, I can literally just tell myself to act stoic or unconcerned, and simply by outwardly doing that, it quells the bad feelings a bit
