Sure, I agree with you if it’s a password that I expect to have that use case (e.g. streaming service, home wifi network). Most of my passwords don’t though.

As a side note, assuming that they’re equivalent length I would argue that a random password is more secure than a passphrase (of equal length) composed of dictionary words because it’s more resistant to dictionary-based password cracking. That said, the point is moot. As xkcd has shown us, length is the main thing that matters. There’s effectively no difference in practice. I always tell people “the longer the better” in either case and I recommend passphrases for secrets that have to be memorized or typed.

That said, I think an acceptable medium would be to use a passphrase, like you’re suggesting, for a situation where entering it via a controller or remote is a legitimate use case. In fact, my password manager lets me pick and can generate passphrases or passwords. Not sure if that’s a feature in KeePass.

For the rest of the time when I don’t need the use case, I’ll simply generate a long random password using my password manager. It’s a faster workflow integrated into the tool itself and theoretically more secure against some attacks.

Many (most?) password managers, including KeePass, have a feature to generate passwords directly in the tool.

It’s pretty funny seeing people complain about this because you know that they enabled this setting and forgot about it.

Great article and one I always share when this argument comes up. It can happen with one simple mistake.

Only on iOS. Dang, another loss for Android 😢

While I agree it we shouldn’t really argue over this, I disagree with their Misconception #1 that “bi” can mean more than 1.

I acknowledge that bisexual may have a different meaning to some people, and also that language evolves over time but the prefix bi literally means “two”. For example bicycle, biceps, biped, bifocals.

Sounds cool, thanks for the explanation!

Catbox links have never worked for me on android for some reason

I’ve come to realize that a lot of sovereign citizens are just poor people grasping at anything to provide hope and safety. These posts don’t seem as funny in that light.

My group plays pretty loose goosy with the rules. We just look at it and make a quick estimate of whether something looks in range. They also have little range finder tools that are helpful for quickly determine cones, spheres, etc. We’re also the kind of party that doesn’t really keep track of gold. Apparently gold has a weight?

For this reason I actually don’t like playing one shots with people I don’t know, because they don’t play by all of our house rules, lol.

“anonymized” sure. I highly doubt they read every message. I’m sure there is lots of de-anonymizing information in the messages themselves

For example–

Anon1: “hey jeff, wanna play Minecraft?”

Anon2: “sure”

Thus we know Anon2’s name is Jeff. I imagine there’s a lot of this.

Great so I can see the highlight of the video and then close out before the ad?

Yeah it’s honestly way more likely for someone to change the file type and break the file while renaming it, than it is for malware to get past Defender.

Isn’t that kinda dangerous? Also potentially illegal depending on where you live.

Funny, I already had feddit.uk instance blocked so this is nice, lol.

I assumed all distilled alcohol was gluten free. Perhaps there are some odd production exceptions.

I know art is hard, but conceptually it would be cool to see a skilled artist take a child’s drawing (and perhaps explanation) and turn it into a detailed piece.

Idk if installing a gas range DIY is actually dull. Seems kinda cool to me.

At that point I think it’s called a gulp, not a sip.
