  • We are talking about RSA though, so there is a fixed character length and it isn’t meant to be remembered because your private key is stored on disk.

    Yes the word method is better than a random character password when length is unbounded, but creating secure and memorable passwords is a bit of an oxymoron in today’s date and age - if you are relying on remembering your passwords that likely means you are reusing at least some of them, which is arguably one of the worst things you can do.


  • Words are the least secure way to generate a password of a given length because you are limiting your character set to 26, and character N gives you information about the character at position N+1

    The most secure way to generate a password is to uniformly pick bytes from the entire character set using a suitable form of entropy





  • It’s unavoidable - once the cheese gets hot enough the steam will either force the liquid cheese out of existing holes, or it will make its own holes.

    Make sure they are fresh out of the freezer when you put them in, as this lets the outside crisp up more before the inside becomes lava. Once you get close to the prescribed cooking time, you need to just sit in front of the oven door and watch them, and as soon as 2-3 break open, take the whole tray out

    I was consuming about 150% of my normal pre-diet Calorie intake and losing 500g per day for a month. CICO is flatout not the mechanic used.

    You are stating that without knowing your calories out, and asserting that the laws of thermodynamics aren’t real

    Keto works due to two things: 1) proteins and fats are more filling than carbs, and 2) your basal metabolic rate increases when you are in ketosis



  • I’m talking about JavaScript products

    If i build a shitty house and it collapses, I own it, I don’t write a manifesto about how it’s all lumber’s fault.

    FOSS JS depends on how it’s distributed

    As does FOSS C - do you install linux from the source tree and build everything yourself? no, you download an .iso, so you are bound to the whims of the OS maintainer, who have their own interests. When you install filezilla you probably download the binary instead of building it from source - oh no, now you are subjected to the filezilla foundation’s nefarious interests (purchasing a commercial support license so they can afford to develop GPL software)

    If the FOSS JS is in a public repo and statically downloadable

    Literally every JS package I’ve ever used does this. They have github actions set up to commit the compiled binaries to the dist folder, which is then published to NPM - https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/tree/main/dist

    Frankly this entire post is just a critique of how commercial entities redistribute MIT licensed code, rather than anything specific to JS. Whatever point that could be made here is entirely obfuscated by flowery language


  • the problem with JavaScript and the misery it brings to people.

    What. Developers shit on it because 10 years ago it was a cluster fuck, but modern JS is absolutely passable. Most users barely know what JS is, and they attribute buggy sites to the company, not the underlying language (rightly so)

    Non-free software is problematic because the user cannot see the code. The code only has to pretend to serve the user while in reality it serves the real master

    JS runs client side and you can see what scripts are downloaded and running

    Regardless of whether the JS is free software or not, there is an inherent conflict of interest whereby the JS is produced by a non-user party to the digital transactions. This means the software is not working for the user. It’s only pretending to.

    So open source projects written in C benefit the user, but open source projects written in JS do not?






  • If it’s in a sealed plastic bag it doesn’t go stale until long after it would have molded on the counter. I refrigerate mine because I buy Costco sized sliced bread and it takes me 2 months to go through it. If you toast your bread, the staleness is unnoticeable

    A lot of these things only need to be refrigerated to preserve flavor, not to stop spoilage. If you go through a bottle of ketchup in 3 months there is little benefit to refrigerating it, if it takes 3 years for you to finish it, it should probably stay in the fridge.

    Some peanut butter brands require refrigeration to prevent mould. Others recommend it because it stops the oils from separating. Brands like Kraft don’t require any refrigeration at all

    Refrigerating oil will stop it from going rancid, but I’ve only ever needed to do this with used deep frier oil

    Honey is just a hell no in the fridge
