Germany, 20s, yes (and up until recently exclusively drove manual transmission cars from like before 2010)

I really miss a somewhat niche forum about a video game I’m playing… but I also don’t find the time to put in the effort of re-creating and moderating it myself here again.

I mean, you can be forced to learn about the bible, even its contents, as part of a literature or history class in school.

But I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that probably wasn’t the purpose of what you were put through.

I mean, if we’re being pedantic, there’s a reasonable technical limit once the password reaches multiple MBs of data.

But yes, there’s no good reason for the actual limits we’re seeing out in the wild.

Yes @evatronic, this is of course what I meant with “except if the js starts crashing maybe”. I’m aware that hashes end up with the same length, no worries 😄

Sure. Banks should be enforcing that instead of special characters. But the vast majority of people would just choose “football” or “password” as their passwords if they weren’t required to do something more complex.

Ironically though, something like

IveLovedUsingFootballAsMyPassword!EverSinceThe1980s.

as a password would be miles ahead of even the most random character combination possible, but which is only 12-20 characters long.

And as an added bonus, the above example is practically guaranteed to have never been used before, in addition to being correct horse battery staple (that is, tremendously easy to remember).

I hate when a website/app in this day and age imposes an absurdly low upper password character limit like 30. (cough looking at you, PayPal, when I re-set my password a few years ago it was freaking 20, not exaggerating).

Shouldn’t password length below like 100 (or realistically, any length until it starts crashing the js behind it?) not matter anyways, since it’s all salted, peppered and hashed before further processing anyways?

brew install --cask firefox, anyone? (:

Data collection.

What they do with that data? Nobody outside MS will ever know…

Edit: just found this page and this one, see section “How does Orion respect my online privacy”, but in summary, Edge has double of Firefox’s requests to home…

Not knowing about Splines before

Feeling like understanding Splines afterwards 🥰

Patiently waiting on Asahi Linux to get more and more features done – the stuff they’ve achieved to reverse-engineer so far already is frankly incredible.

The hardware is quite nice, after all…
