Ahsoka Tano.

She is driving everyone crazy but she cares so much, and empathize with her so much.

Man, the clone wars really fucked me up didn’t it…

This one is far more important than it seems: take care of you nips! At longer distances they can get bruised so bandaids or similar things are advised.

There’s a few state sponsored media companies that are actually quite reputable. Al Jazeera has generally be seen as pretty neutral on reporting. Although there’s some exceptions, but not as much as one would expect.

It’s like a 6 year old saying “I can stop eating candy! I’ll do it!” Ad after 5 seconds they eat it anyway.

That’s because the games materials and everything are very creative and this new layer literally just updates it to modern graphics.

Would never work on those triple A games where the developers don’t even bother because they are busy fighting burnout.

100% agree.

The best thing you can do is be nice to them and ignore passive aggression. Some ppl are not nice because they are scared and being defensive helps them, some are assholes, some are confused. Whatever it is, killing them with kindness actually works on a lot of people. The more you do it, the more people realize you are not faking your personality but this is just who you are, and they become more familiar with you.

If people don’t react to your greetings, just walk as if they don’t deserve your kindness, because it’s true. Maybe someday they will.

“ignore latest model changes”

I’m fuming rn

Pokemon literally crying rn.

Alright I’ll give you that

lawful interception

Idk bout that. Usually you get a warrant for wiretapping and then you pay someone to install it. If they are trying to break encryption or identifying users, that means they inherently are doing something the law does not favor.

Let’s also acknowledge that if encryption is bad because it cannot be broken, that means encryption is pretty good at what it should do.

Breaking encryption is never something you do for the right reasons.

That, the target audience and the overall production size as well.

Ah that makes sense let me put an asterisk on that then

That has to do with how hashes work.

Hash is if you want someone to be able to check if he’s got the right password but not able to know what it actually says.

Imagine my password is “shark”. Let’s say I use a hash algorithm so that it becomes “2gtth5”. If I log in. I enter my password. My browser* uses the same algorithm, so the text I entered is “2gtth5” now. The server looks up my hashed password, checks if it’s the same and then it lets me log in. The benefit is, the server doesn’t know my actual password, it only knows that the hash is “2gtth5”. This means if the database gets compromised, people only see “2gtth5” but not my actual password. And because it’s a hash, they don’t know how to get back from “2gtth5” to “shark” and therefore my password is not compromised.

Now imagine if I knew the hashing algorithm used and I have a list of possible passwords. There might be “shark” in there. So I can take the password list, make a hash out of every password and see if it matches. Because my password is in there, the hash for “shark” will match the hash “2gtth5” in the compromised database and they now know my actual password. This is a far bigger problem.

Everytime you see that someone “hacked” a database and password hashes got compromised, this is what happens. They use rock you and a few other lists to see if they can “crack” the hashes (this just means checking the hashes and seeing if one of the password from the list matches).

This is specifically what those lists are for. They are used by bad actors to make use of the hashed passwords they stole.

Glossary:

• hash: representation of some text
• cracking a hash: trying to get the actual text from a hash
• salted hash: a hash with fake characters in there
• algorithm: basically the way your program works, either the code or a scientific representation of the way it works

*Someone in the comments corrected me on this. The server does the hashing not the browser.

I would assume that because the original rockyou list was always just used for dictionary brute force attacks, so no associated usernames.

I think it’s more than that. For some people their mom is their hero for taking care of them and they have a special love for her. Now if someone sleeps with my mom just to brag, the insult is that they did it just to brag about it and I am supposed to be angry because I know it wasn’t genuinely someone who loves her.

For science texts I sometimes need to rephrase sections of text. A perfect task for our in house chatgpt. I’ll give it a quick glance afterwards to see if the content is still the same but honestly it never let me down when I used it correctly.

Then also sometimes I try to look up things and I just ask chatgpt a question and to give me citations for their answer. That stuff only works in 1/3 cases which is a shame.

This means we entered a new era. I like this era.

Yeah maybe that could work. I definitely agree that there’s ways to get good anchor points. Maybe through cross-check with wireless networks even.
