@yourwaitress What a beautiful cat!

*yes, I did say it out loud.

@jasmine Performative hatred is the worst. You mean that you make my life hell because you're afraid to stick out? Thanks for telling me where we stand, I guess.

@tychotithonus @Epic_Null

I should probably write what I think is the "real" solution.

The way I would like to solve this problem, that users might use compromised passwords, is a "red team" bot. That would try naive dictionary attacks against high risk accounts, when it break the passphrases the user would be informed that their passphrases is naively crackable.

This would of course require the accusation of passphrases dictionaries.

@tychotithonus @Epic_Null

I begin with the assumption that we can't force users to change passwords. That means we inherently have to accept that risk.

The only real solution to the problem of the passphrases itself being knowable is information.

Giving that we can't control where a user might have used their passphrases, forcing an actual passphrases change is at best an bandaid. That is likely to induce users to once again write down their passwords.

@Epic_Null @tychotithonus the "correct" solution to password rotation is to rotate the salt not the passphrases. By for example using the last login id as the salt you can generate a new hash every login, while not forcing your users to memorise a new password.

@tychotithonus

On a related topic.

I tell people to use long passwords they can remember, to make sure they don't write them down.

The response is sad, and predictable...

Don't put arbitrary constraints on passwords that make them harder to remember, or easier to guess by an computer.

@anthropy 340w continues, 680w peak. Assuming no funny business

The overload protection in psu should be about 2x rated power, their does also exist undervolt protection. Gpus slam the power supply hard, peaks of twice rated load in less than a mile seconds. This causes the voltage to drop as the psu can't keep up

Recent NVIDIA gpu is worse. Power supply manufacturers had to change the spec for the 4000 series. The 12 pin is an indicator off those changes being incorporated

@anthropy gpus can easily draw twice their rated power. AMD had noway of measuring total board power before the 9000 series making the problem worse.

The "correct" solution is overspecing your power supply by a factor of three.

Capping your framerate in the driver/game should be a good enough solution.

@harmonycorrupted my apologies for failing to read your message.

I honestly didn't see the last line, I should've slowed down a little...

@harmonycorrupted it doesn't piss me off, to be asked in a general sense.

But failing to understand that I might have challenges you don't see; do.

If I don't do something after being asked; maybe their exist good reasons why I don't? Reasons I don't feel obliged to share.

I wish I could provide alt text, but in practice I wouldn't share anything if I felt like I had to. Their exist practical reasons why adding alt text would be prohibitive in my circumstances.

The three hardest things I had to learn aa an adult

1. It's okay to be wrong
2. Asking for things I merely would like, rather then need
3. Accepting gifts, not from my mother

@mrsbeanbag UK parliament was the model for Congress. I apologise for bringing up the problem child.

@mrsbeanbag we have the same problem in Europe, where Russian propaganda set the agenda, we have way more then two parties.

@mrsbeanbag every democracy has to deal with anti-democratic parties, parliamentary system that work like the US Congress is uniquely bad at doing that.

@mrsbeanbag the first is autocracy, the second democracy.

@servelan I hope Trump can learn from Williams exemplary example... Let me look for a black suit, just in case I have funeral to attend in proper attire.

@jackyan I think it's less a case of them being unaware.

If they are engaging in regulatory arbitrage I believe they are well aware what they are handing their successor, as long as they are not in charge when judgment day come they still get their bonus.

The legal requirement to do everything to maximise profit is also a heavy burden, do I admit that my profit projects was overly optimistic? Accepting the loss of face, or do I press my staff to do anything to meet the KPI?

@jackyan if Google have aggressive KPI it wouldn't be surprising if a lower level manger pushed for less then ethical KPI "enhancer".

Refer to Wells Fargo cross-selling scandal.

A business never benefit from defrauding customers or investors in the long run, most higher level employees knows this.

@jackyan it's probably a bug, software is hard. Fixing issues that doesn't help with bottom line is low priority, it might take a while to get around to fix the issue.
