  • All tools that bruteforce passwords attempt each password only once, and if it doesn’t work, discard it. Nobody really runs 2 identical attacks back to back (they’re incredibly slow when done over the internet), so the password would seem uncrackable at first glance.

    This approach wouldn’t work with hash cracking, vault breaking or file encryption, because once they get their hands on the hash/vault/file, the attacker can use their own code for hashing/checking a password candidate.

    Transcription for those who need it:

    Matthew 5:43-48 New International Version

    Love for Enemies You have heard that it was said “Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.



  • Yes, and no. No app will display the image if it wasn’t already capable of displaying webp, period.

    However, there are many places (mainly websites where you can only upload certain formats, but it can also be apps) where the underlying infrastructure supports webp, but they do a simple extension check first with a list of file extensions that doesn’t include .webp. In those cases, changing the extension to .jpg will get the image through the filter, and the underlying system will detect the format using the magic number at the beginning of the file.

    The same thing can happen when your OS has no associated app to open .webp, but the app it uses for .jpg can also display .webp.

    Linux apps follow simplicity principles. If you don’t have permission to delete a file, why assume you may know the password of the user who has permission?

    You can preface sudo to any command to execute it with root privileges, which would be similar to running as admin in windows.

    Graphical apps do tend to ask for authentication if it makes sense. No userland apps should need more permissions than the current user’s in order to run.


  • Spain used to have a budget of around 1% of their GDP for the military. It was so much that they actually could not spend it. Now that the budget has tripled almost overnight, they are having an internal crisis because there is no way they can use up all that money, even if they overbought 200% of supplies and overpaid for them.

    Increasing military budget is useless, because the service will not improve with it, just the useless spending and inefficiency. And because of the rushed spending, I’m sure the move will increase corruption.
