I am not going to be using this account now that Twitter is bought by a megalomaniac.

That is to say, PASSWORDS ARE A BROKEN AUTHENTICATION MECHANISM in the era of plentiful, affordable, mass parallelised processing offered by GPUs. Use a password manager, randomly generated 64 (or longer) passwords, and MFA. Ideally, use WebAuthn/FIDO2 only. You're welcome.

Several years ago I added a slide in my security presentation about a box filled with 1080Ti cards that cost several thousands of Euros and could crack passwords at a stupid fast rate. Now you can do it with a ~3k rig using a single 4090. https://t.co/C1FCpTcyBU

UI developers, please, PLEASE don't move or rearrange icons / list items AS I AM BLOODY TAPPING THEM. If your UI is not ready yet don't assign click handlers and indicate that things are still loading. Simple, innit?

@Torettox84 Very likely someone with the same neurodivergent traits. Speaking from experience.

[N.D. @sledge812]

@Torettox84 I have more respect for people who don’t have kids because they don’t think they can be good parents than for people who become shit parents. Kids are not (just) a gift, they are a responsibility for the rest of one’s life.

@Torettox84 I know enough of the Dutch pronunciation to know I can’t make the g sound correctly. I don’t think anyone but native Dutch speakers can.

@Torettox84 I live in 32C weather. The CPU temp never went over 60C and the fan is permanently at minimum. I’ve even transcoded video. Don’t trust benchmarks designed to run the CPU at 100% for hours. Intel processors reach 100C in these benchmarks after 10 seconds :p

@Torettox84 Wait until he finds out that he can upload information to his brain by intently staring at ink markings on thin slices made of dead trees. Magic!

@AngieRadtke Send me an email Nicholas at my domain with some more info. If I am guessing correctly what you’re asking me yeah, sounds right but I need to know AT version, exact URL and if you’re using Core or Pro to tell you for sure.

@fedikw Only if you keep the plugin as a legacy plugin. I was already at 2000 words, I had to stop there. See the last paragraph where I allude to a next part talking about native Joomla 4 plugins.

@brianteeman He’s a guaranteed podium. Given the car he’s driving it speaks volumes to his driving talent. Respect.

Today's task: make images out of a box of CD- and DVD-ROMs gathering dust for 18-22 years and get rid of the physical media. Almost there… I had forgotten how frustratingly slow reading CDs and DVDs is.

@FiloSottile A better approach is a tiered approach: warning, temporary ban, permanent ban (talking about contributors; general participation threads are another matter altogether).

[N.D. @sledge812]

@FiloSottile Nobody sane wants to invest technically or emotionally when they are one minor misunderstanding or taking a troll bait away from being banned for life with no appeal process whatsoever. Within 2 years are left with a toxic swamp of manipulative sociopaths, yes-men and leeches.

[N.D. @sledge812]

@Torettox84 The same people who will call you a narcissistic asshole for contributing and a useless leech of you don't? These people need professional help. They no longer live rent-free in my head and I feel so much better for it.

[N.D. @sledge812]

@Torettox84 From a MITM POV they’re like plaintext username and password. From a server vuln, depending on implementation they’re two orders of magnitude better or worse than passwords. Better if they expire and have a limited scope.
