I’m just a weird, furry, pan guy (cis he/him). I also have a big, blue username.

Currently on Earth for 8 years ensuring steps to unite humanity and usher us into the galactic civilization just so I can see my boyfriend again.

  • The most basic rules commonly required everywhere. When you have such specific rules, it ironically actually makes finding the password through brute force easier because you can eliminate a bunch of variables that could have existed without all the rules. I can eliminate any permutation under 8 characters, doesn’t contain a number, and doesn’t contain a special character.

    It will still possibly take a billion years to guess, but it could have been two billion without the rules.

    Of course, I also find it wild that the metric for how good an encryption or password system is, is just how long it would take to guess every possible combination of input it could be, sequentially. It doesn’t account for a brute force attempt that just selects random inputs. It could take until the heat death of the universe… It could take 3 seconds. It’s up to chance at that point. Not to mention all the easier ways of getting a password. Like gaslighting the person who knows it into giving it up.




















  • Well good news: They’ve also recently announced that they’re going to be updating it to be the same as what’s on the Deck. THough we probably won’t see an actual release until either just before or just after the new version of the deck is officially announced/released.

    Also: The failure of the Steam Machine had little to do with the operating system and more to do with the fact there was not one singular “Steam Machine.” It was any number of prebuilt PCs with extra stupid steps. TO say it wasn’t meant for general desktop use is bullshit; a Steam Machine was nothing more than a desktop PC running this OS.
