  Yes, and no.

  If the password is stored properly (hashed and salted), then a high entropy PW will make it nearly impossible for your PW to be extracted from a database dump / data leak

  On the other end, if the PW is stored as plain-text, a high entropy PW is useless.

  In between, a weak hash algorithm or no salt, a high entropy PW still makes it much harder to extract, but it depends

  ---

  In general, 2FA is more secure, since it combines 2 different methods of authentication.

  • something you know: password
  • something you have: the 2FA token (usually on a phone)

  This protects the service (as well as the user) against a broader range of attacks. Such as

  • password reuse (which nearly everyone does)
    • this is particularly bad, because you’re increasing the chance that a weakly designed system will have it’s data stolen, your reused PW and username included
  • phising attempts
  • low entropy passwords
  • replay attacks
    • since 2FA tokens are usually time bases (TOTP), they expire after a few minutes and can’t be reused if an attacker manages to intercept one

  Among others

  Ah, ok

  He’s satire

  I just assumed he was another one of those McDojo idiots

  1. If you’re in this situation, you’ve got about a 95% chance of being boned, regardless of what training you have

  I vaguely remember from Japanese class that China’s name means “middle country”

  But i dunno about that “go” character specifically

  This makes me curious how effective that would actually be

  It probably depends on the electrical conductivity of WD 40, and whether it corrodes

  To be fair

  I didn’t notice that either

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Install MSEdgeRedirect to solve this problem.

  I also recommend O&O Shut Up 10 and StartAllBack

  Me: Why go through all that trouble, just install Linux

  Alternatively you would switch to Linux.

  Welp

  I mean, the graphic designer’s job is to get people to look at the book and consider purchasing it

  It’s the author’s job to convince them to buy it

  So yeah, don’t judge a book by it’s cover

  That is adipose tissue (body fat)

  So yes, she’s American

  Decline in local communities sounds like a natural result of mass communication and globalization, imo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Message scheduling is a wonderful thing 💫⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This would only work if their phone was still charged and on

  Scheduling a message (at least, on Android) holds the message on the phone, until the date, then it sends it to the cell network

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the ping between your eyes and brain increase when you're tired?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think i chose my terms poorly

  In this case, what i meant by “Signal propagation” was purely the time delay from retinal stimulation, to optic nerve, to brain

  And by “brain processing”, i meant “the time it takes from brain receives visual data to you experiencing it”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the ping between your eyes and brain increase when you're tired?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would expect that brain processing takes orders of magnitude longer than signal propagation

  So, while you’re probably correct, I’d wager that the brain processing delay drowns out any variances in signal propagation speeda

  (I are computer science, not neuroscience)

  The prostate is the male G spot, and enjoying anal stimulation is perfectly normal for males regardless of sexual orientation

  I use Tidal instead of Spoofie

  Same price, higher quality audio, and imo a better recommendation feed

  A pill calendar is really handy. When you take pills once daily, it’s really easy to forget if you’ve taken today’s since your brain just filters it out

  But taking a second dose can be dangerous, so a pill calendar gives you visual conformation that you have indeed taken today’s pills

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vinegar⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  1 - popsci headlines about food are always bogus 2 - skimming through the article, it suggests that the Vit B in vinegar is the suspected cause 3 - substituting vinegar for antidepressants (which the article does not state, but seems to elude to) is a bad idea
