I’ve been using a combination of “one password for everything” (bad i know) and a sh script to make strong passwords for stuff that matters but I’ll probabaly switch to pass. The problem is we passed the point years ago where passwords that are secure (?) and meet the insane special character requirements are passwords I feel like typing out or even remembering. Kind of like I used to memorise my friends’ phone numbers as a kid but no more… that reminds me, I was recently able to log into my employer retirement account with just my birthdate and VOIP number 😂 💀

Hm reminds me of New Orleans 😀

Good stuff!

@fastidious Yes they are all personal.

how do you geniuses handle all your passwords? People like pword managers but I have like 4 different OSes i use every day and on top of that centralised pword management makes me nervous, upset, and crabby. what if I have to log in from some other system ???

@fastidious 13” chief. just like the old days

@fastidious yes it is very good. i miss it. i may buy a new M1 soon….

current tech level: installed ubuntu over mac os so now instead of the apple bluetooth share thing I open up a scuttlebutt client on my laptop and privmessage it to myself on my phone 😜

“Alcohol is a drug that has its claws deep in Australian life. If you’re happy, sad, bored, have won a promotion, lost a family member, bought a house or graduated from university, these can all be seen as reasons to drink. “

the guardian talking mad shit on australia!

@maya i just watched a youtube that claimed if you have wool clothes, use shampoo instead of detergent because “wool is hair”. i tried it and frankly im impress. 😂

@fastidious yea theres no desktop client rn. its crazy. they stopped developing the mainnone but there are currently no alternatives

@fastidious arrakis huh…..

@fastidious its a new thing theyve invented. its like a pub but instead of a “fake peer” its more like a tunnel.

@fastidious the sad truth of our lives! 😂

https://scuttle.space if anyone want to try out the newest iteration of ssb technology

@fastidious you should…. having a true 4 seasons is good for the soul… especially around chistmas (australians fuck off) time

@fastidious When i quit fb about 10 years ago I remember someone later told me “people are mad at you for quitting”, and I thought, “well? tell me to my face or email me!” It’s not hard to keep in touch with your friends in the modern world!!!

@fastidious personally i feel robbed. mark zuck owes me

@fastidious influence yes, undetectable optional 😆

I always figured the end game for the “powers that be” is to turn the internet into a digital version of the magazines they sell at the grocery store checkout. i would say we’re about 60% there! good work!

sorry for spelling errors. its snowing and cold 😆

i recentl deteoed my twitter accnt and now Ibhave to basically hack the DOM just to read stuff people post about on old school phpbbs… why

i dont use the sites because i hate them but i am literally banned from instagram and facebook. i have done nothing at all. the worst thing i ever dod was change my fb pic to a pic of zuckerberg with octopus tentacles. my theory is if you dont puke out as much personal data as possible in a “normal way” their “ai” (not real) flags you and terminates

am i getting old or has the “mainstream internet” gotten really shitty in the last 2-3 years? i swear every time I try to post somewhere (reddit discord instagram twitter whatever) its an instant YOU ARE BANNED FOR SUBVERSIVE BEHAVIOR. CONFIRM IDENTITY. I just tried to post a gameplay guide on steam for a 12 year old game… “error error error”. wtf mayne

@eldersnake let me be clear the mac was still fully functional 😆

new life update #2: I installed ubuntu on my 10 year old macbook pro. all systems nominal. i even ran a 🇷🇺 video game that wouldnt run on regular degular mac os. having a ball of a time. having a warning ⚠️ label in the app store that says “PROPRIETARY” is the apple on the cake 😂 what a life

@prologic No bugs to report on goryon it’s all ship shape 😂 😭

@prologic I’ve just been busy!!!! 😂

looks like i made up the term cleanroom. oh well you know what i mean

also had to add a function! to the provided nginx conf and deduce the db location from ‘ps’. please do a cleanroom install JS devs! im begging!

i set up one of the new ssb rooms today. they distribute a binary but if you actually want to run it you need to dl the repo and build commands from source anyway 😂 why
