@coolboymew @siinclaiir @karna Double quotes might be a good idea. It's often used for globbing, but should be there even if not.

@coolboymew @feld @ElDeadKennedy @Moon @adiz I don't know anything about these passmarks or whatever, but my X1 works great. Video conference, CAD, Firefox, e-mail, office: all in the same time. I've got Fedora 38 on it currently. I also have a corporate T14, which I use as a VM host and a VPN node. Both of them have hardware touchpad buttons, which is a killer feature in the world of monolithic touchpads. I used to hate the nipple and the offset Ctrl of Thinkpads, but I learned to deal with that, simply because Thinkpads are going to shit slower than anything else.

1. What is an Ethernet cable? Here's how to connect to the internet without Wi-Fi and get a speedier connection
  
  from Emma Witman
  
  An Ethernet cable lets you physically wire your internet to your computer, rather than having to rely on a more finicky Wi-Fi connection.

I'm making great strides against the poison of social media. Yesterday, a bunch of retards and Moonman were dumping on Python. Instead of mocking them, I went to sleep. I'm like George W. Bush, who overcame his alcoholism with sheer willpower.

This was pretty funny though:

Also, reminded me about this tremendous presentation (I recommend watching it all, although it takes 45 minutes for all 3 parts):

We will e-mail you your new, secure password, securely. Honest.

The rationale of "we updated our encryption, therefore your password..." is also impressive, and not in a good way.

@guizzy @Moon @coolboymew You can also found startups without any credentials. I own and run a company that makes guns. I'm not a gunsmith with an SDI diploma, and not even a mechanical engineer. And nobody gives a flip, they just pay me money for the product.

@coolboymew Anyone with two neurons still firing could write a program to shift those bits into bytes.

@coolboymew Rejected because not using anti-aliasing, which is available at Github.

I'm at the phase of "looking for the cheapest hosting" again. Static website and maybe Postfix.

@Moon @vriska My "password manager" remembers 788 password entities, although not all of them are for websites. Some are for LUKS, some are for routers, etc. The first password it remembers is for "Java development", and the 2nd is for Avogato. It only had 8 characters! I put the manager in quotes because there's no manager. I just store passwords in files and encrypt them with PGP. This excludes my mobile devices, but fortunately I do not lead a mobile life. On the upside, large-scale intrusions at password managers do not affect me.

@Moon @vriska One of the first systems that I worked on had 3-letter passwords. I was an undergrad back then, mind. So, after some snooping around I found that it kept them in a 16-bit word. That immediately made me think about Radix-50 encoding, and after some quick cryptoanalysis in Fortran IV, I found that the encryption was a rotation left by 5 bits. The master password was "WOW". Using this information, I went around universities in the city, penetrating student terminal rooms, and getting privileged access. For one of them, I forged a student ID by using a pencil and a piece of paper that I attached to my own ID with small chunks of bread in leu of removable adhesive. When the developers heard about this, they updated the system to keep 8-character passwords in a separate file, accessible with a special syscall, and modified all utilities of course.
