  • That would be because the pattern on the first password are correctly spelled words and the way passwords are cracked offline (when there’s a leak of data being sold somewhere) is that they use dictionary attacks.

    This means that a big file containing all known words, and can also include known used passwords from past leaks, is used to try a lot of combinations. A combination of good words that appear 1:1 in these word lists will score way lower in terms of difficulty for a computer to crack. A simple script can add spaces and periods (like your example) between words and they WOULD get your password. By adding only one random character that doesn’t fit a pattern (just like your second ‘t’), you basically force the cracker to try all possible combinations of all characters for the length of your password, which is WAY more difficult.

    TLDR: There are more combinations of aaaaaaa, aaaaaab, aaaaaac then there are of matching words together for the same length of password (one.one, one.two, one.three)










  • There should obviously have a no-stickers-on-the-instructions rule! Thet can’t just put a sticker over the instructions! What can I do? I certainly can’t return them now, they were on rebate!

    I’ll tell you what you do, Larry. You take that back to the grocery store, you march right in, and you demand a rebate on the rebate! You tell them loud and clear that the sticker-on-the-instructions is unacceptable!

    You think so Leon?

    Oh yeah, Larry. Let me cancel my pedicure and I’ll go marching in there with you. Let’s go right now.

    They go there while borrowing Susie’s car.

    – And somewhere throughout there’s a “Jesus fucking Christ Larry! Just fucking buy new ones. You can’t berate a kid working there for a stupid fucking sticker! You’re ridiculous Larry!”

    “It’s about the principle now! You can’t just stick your rebate stickers everywhere, anywhere!”

    – Cue the end of the episode where Susie goes grocery shopping and the store workers put rebate stickers all over her car, thinking they’re doing it on Larry’s.

    Back and forth of the camera between Larry’s surprised face, mixed with hand gestures saying “no, I didn’t do this, it’s not my fault” and Susie’s face being mad at Larry for someone else’s fault, but somehow it’s always Larry’s fault.

  • Well, your Guest Wi-Fi can either have access to the pihole server and have its benefits, or point them to a public DNS. You can’t block access to the dns server for your guest network and hope it works - because it’s blocked. Personally I’d give Guest Wi-Fi a public DNS, as you won’t have much fun when an app of your friend’s stop working and you have to fiddle and work it out.

    If you point the guest network’s dns to the gateway, that gateway needs to know what to do with those requests. Either it has a resolver locally or it mist forward it elsewhere.





  • I have seen the same behaviour in myself. Reddit was the only social media I used and when they pulled the plug on third-party apps, I took it as a goodbye.

    I see myself sometimes opening my phone to “do something” but I have almost no apps to waste time on. I’ve reused that time to do better things, which feels nice. I read a little more here and there, I learn stuff of wikipedia when I’m on my phone, or I get up and do something else. It’s been great for me, even though I’m kind of sad to see it go. Lemmy is a great community, though I’ll try not to start using it so much, just for my own sake and not on the fault of the platform itself.
