I’m pretty sure no one knows my blog and wiki exist, but it sure is popular, getting multiple hits per second 24/7 in a tangle of wiki articles I autogenerated to tell me trivia like whether the Great Fire of London started on a Sunday or Thursday.

- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 1 week ago:
In my opinion, an acceptable password length should be
Linln(alphabetSize^L)/ln(2) = (B bits of entropy). For a Bech32 character set (since it excludes ambiguous characters),alphabetSize = 32. A good password should have been 96 and 256 bits of entropy, with 128 bits being my personal preference. This meansL = (B)*ln(2)/ln(alphabetSize) = 128*ln(2)/ln(32) = - Comment on The road they drove to dump this trash literally takes to the landfill 2 weeks ago:
“I dumped the trash outside the environment.” “Into another environment?” “No, I dumped it beyond the environment. It’s not in the environment.”

First off, your tapeworms. Yeah, you really should’ve refused your friend’s pork chop. Next, your excess body fat. Next, your extreme aversion to feeling hunger. Everyone with a healthy lifestyle feels what you’d call “starving”, like, 2/3rds of the day. Now, your cancers. Yes, plural. Lung, skin, and colon. Pro tip: wear gloves even if your employer doesn’t provide them. Also, wear sunscreen. Next on the list… checks notes ah, yes. Done. What did I do? Do you remember what your nightmare last night was about? Yes, you had a nightmare. Excellent, anti-trauma neural circuit lobotomy was a success.

Let me channel your loved ones: Bring a walking stick with you whenever you go. They make convenient collapsible ones. But better yet, just use a stick wherever you go. They’re convenient to have when encountering rough or slippery terrain since it’s like adding another limb to your body.

The only plausible reason I can see for bringing back coal is that it requires almost no education to make work compared to solar. It’s the fuel of an anti-intellectual society.

- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 month ago:
Most problems people have with Linux, I think, come from trying to be Linux power users from the start by performing very advanced techniques beyond their time and patience: dual booting multiple operating systems (so they don’t have to buy Linux-dedicated hardware), using any graphics card (the latest and greatest GPUs are all closed source and developers who work on Linux do so because they despise closed source), using the least expensive hardware (which are typically closed source and buggy with anything except Windows), and emulating Windows apps so they don’t have to learn new workflows or abandon their favorite games (technically, Proton with Steam allows Windows games like FFXIV to be played, but it’s a neverending journey to get it working and keeping it working.
If you switch to Linux, accept that for a smooth experience you’ll have to pay more than you would for a Windows machine (e.g. System76, Framework) And if you want graphics card support for your emulated Windows games on Steam, you’re going to have to use the specific flavor of Linux the manufacturer supports.
That said, if you value free/libre open source software, then making the switch from Windows is totally worth it.
- Comment on Video Shows Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Under Gunfire Barrage, With Ambulance Lights On 1 month ago:
The Times verified the location and timing of the video, which was taken in the southern city of Rafah early on March 23. Filmed from what appears to be the front interior of a moving vehicle, it shows a convoy of ambulances and a fire truck, clearly marked, with headlights and flashing lights turned on, driving south on a road to the north of Rafah in the early morning. The first rays of sun can be seen, and birds are chirping.
The convoy stops when it encounters a vehicle that had veered onto the side of the road — one ambulance had been sent earlier to aid wounded civilians and had come under attack. The new rescue vehicles detour to the side of the road.
Rescue workers, at least two of whom can be seen wearing uniforms, are seen exiting a fire truck and an ambulance marked with the emblem of the Red Crescent and approaching the ambulance derailed to the side.
Then, sounds of intense gunfire break out.
…
The Palestine Red Crescent Society spokeswoman, Nebal Farsakh, said in an interview from the West Bank city of Ramallah that the paramedic who filmed the video was later found with a bullet in his head in the mass grave. His name has not been disclosed yet because he has relatives living in Gaza concerned about Israeli retaliation, the U.N. diplomat said.
