Pooh bear says Think different.

Keep corporations as persons - restore public execution. If a man with the mind of a 10 year old can be executed, so can executives.

The fuck? How the fuck did that happen? I didn’t even fucking … That’s not what I fucking wrote. Wtf? Fuck is this? Fuck this shit! Oh, fuck. Fucking mother fuck. Stupid fucking auto complete.

My roommates probably think this is a religious mantra by now.

As a user, I sometimes do everything I can to see what breaks a system. (Often unintentionally)

Then, I don’t do those this things.

(Learning permissions on Linux was a great way to destroy a system. Eg “sudo chown -R user:user /” didn’t work as I first thought)

They then used an even larger mouse to drag the actual computer to the garbage bin.

The garbage bin then caught fire.

This is the origin of the dumpster fire meme.

I originally included the words “assuming random” to the post. Why I removed it? I guess for dramatic effect. You are correct. Permutations of dictionary words are relatively trivial for a decent program. But, increasing the length and the addition of special characters adds a nontrivial exponential increase in time, wouldn’t it?

Fun fact: it would take about 37 billion years on average (at current (known) tech) to brute force a 16 character alphanumeric password which uses uppercase ie. using at least one of each of a-z,A-Z,0-9

Adding special characters would not make it easier. A trillion years seems like a long time. (Unless your password is ThisIs4Password!)

I think he was a senior contributor for the underground cracker mag 1600 back in the late 80s.

They called em zines.

I use a very old (circa ~2010), very underpowered (6Gb ram because one slot is dead) optiplex 760 with a DP to HDMI adapter to watch movies and live sports on a projector.

I can watch my pirate streamed movie or sports in one window and do other nerd stuff in another no problem.

Running Linux mint-xfce with Firefox, ublock, and containers.

Internet is acquired by tethering one of my old android phones running dnscrypt-proxy and tor (invisible pro), with KDE connect for remote control.

Or… It was aliens.

Carrier unlocked and oem bootloader unlocking are two very different things.

In canada, all phones must now be free of carrier locks, but bootloader unlocking is a pain. The us version of my current phone can be oem unlocked.

Mine can’t.

So, i use a lot of adb/shizuku

How many brave tokens and/or crypto do I get and/or mint by using their search?

I’m all for ai being used for good.

I’m also for splitting the atom being used for good…
