🥳 NIST is making updates to their #password standards:
pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/sp800-…
Goodbye unnecessary rotations & hello longer maximum password length! (Fun fact: Tuta has no password length limits 😎)
What do you think of these changes? How do you create your passwords securely?
🔥 Twitter vs Fediverso 🔥
A la encuesta de @ElSaltoDiario sobre si quedarse o no en Twitter podemos ver que:
En Twitter la mayoría quieren que se queden. El el Fediverso prefieren que lo dejen.
Pero en el Fediverso hay un 79% más de votos que en Twitter. Pero aún seguimos con la matraca de "es que en el Fediverso hay poca interacción y por eso he abandonado mi cuenta".
Twitter es un nido de ratas, huid de allí todes y venid al Fediverso! La reorganización es clave para nuestra sociedad.
Pedir a los rentistas que no sean avariciosos no es política de vivienda.
Hay que tocar los beneficios de los grandes tenedores e intervenir el precio de la vivienda.
Sí, intervenir el precio de la vivienda, ministra. Ya hemos perdido una legislatura, no perdamos esta también.

Ale zaroven je vyjadrenie urcitej nadeje a naznacenie moznoho nasledujuceho scenara: uvedomit si, ze city a vasne¹ nam mier a blahobyt nezabezpecia.

Completely Useless Legislation, Exhibit A:
Hungary has a new law that students have to surrender their phones at school. The phones have to be locked up, hauled around in safety boxes by teachers etc. Students get them back at the end of the day.
A friend of mine teaches high school. He noticed that when students get their phones back, they don't even turn them on, just toss them in their bag.
Decoy phones.
Seriously, no one thought about this?...

Just to spell it out for clients that mangle things, it’s at JonathanMosen at CaneAndAble.social
The CaneAndAble.social instance is also now open to sign-ups. You’ll need to read the rules carefully to know how to gain access.
Where's the relaxation? The fun? Family time? The books? The Movies?
Hopefully it'll be over soon!
I know, ineed to work to enjoy everything else. but when your waking hours are so limited it's even more frustrating that this has to be the priority.
Soy estadística, pero también la persona con más aversión al riesgo sobre el planeta. La gente me pide consejo como lo primero, siempre respondo como lo segundo.
90% de probabilidad de que si el día del examen sacan cuatro bolas¹ con títulos de temas para que elijas cuál desarrollar, al menos un tema de esos será de los que te has estudiado. ¿Es 90% suficiente o iríais tirándoos de los pelos pensando en el 10% en el que no caería nada de lo que has estudiado?
¹alerta si te sacas las opos de profe en #murcia, se rumorea en sindicatos y academias que hay una bola menos este año
jajaja, es que por un tema...
Yo respeto mucho a quien se prepara oposiciones de este tipo, porque no poder confiar ni en la misericordia de quien redacte el examen para no profundizar en esos cambios de última hora me pondría tensísima.
En las últimas del INE también cambiaron el estatuto del organismo mientras me las estudiaba a un mes del examen y me faltó presentarme con dos pistolas.

Leaving the NSSS conference yday I was stopped by a fellow attendee who told me
- Thanks! Your presence here made a huge impact to the better for the conference.
Gosh, it turns out humans can be all friendly and awesome!
We often saw statistic that there are few software companies in the EU as an example of lack of innovation.
But 48% of maintainers of open source projects live in Europe, compared to 38% in North America and 8% in Asia. And the number is growing.

My talk titled "CVEMITRECVSSNVDCNAOSS WTF" was very well received at the #NSSS conference with week. So well that I will re-do it live-streamed on Twitch on September 30. (recorded for YouTube as well)

Two big wins for Honduras this month. Our Supreme Court has ruled that darling techbro project ZEDES (special economic zones exempt from local laws and taxes) are unconstitutional.
The National Energy Company won a court ruling against a foreign, private managing company overseeing our electric grid (as assigned through the right wing nationalist party) for failing to reduce energy losses. Already, our current government had managed to free the National Energy Company from privatization and this further ensures the stability of that service for Hondurans. We have been paying lower energy bills since the Libre Party took over and their plan is too keep the company as a nationalized asset, thwarting all attempts from the past government to privatize it.
Hoy tengo noticias de Administración Electrónica pero no las voy a poner porque son un poco deprimentes. Todo el tema va en plan de IA, uso de la nube, etc.
Me temo que nuestros gestores desconocen o hacen caso omiso de la ley de Goodhart: cuando una métrica se convierte en objetivo, deja de ser una métrica útil.
Factores de la digitalización como uso de la AI o de la nube se toman como objetivos, y dejan de ser métricas útiles si alguna vez lo fueron. El uso de la nube puede indicar el progreso en un proceso de digitalización, pero no es o no debe ser un fin en si mismo.
Me recuerda a fallos de la planificación central por basarse en el número o magnitud de operaciones realizadas (superficie irrigada, litros de agua empleados) en lugar de la función-objetivo que realmente se quiere maximizar.

On this day, nine years ago, I launched my sub-project "everything curl". A free book about #curl.
Today it contains 114.000 words in 1,056 separate sections.
Thank you for this example 🙏
On this day, exactly twenty-three years ago, #curl was shipped bundled with macOS for the first time. It has been included in their install ever since.
That day, Mac OS X 10.1 was released, featuring curl 7.7.2
Peter Vágner reshared this.
Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.
Hoy tenemos dos alertas de la AEMET. Y sí, por supuesto, #ChoveEnSantiago.

in reply to Tuta • • •Ah, long passwords.
My WiFi system has a 40 character password.
Which works fine with everything except one particular IoT device, which says "password too long" and refuses to operate. Tech support just said "use a shorter password". Despite most of the interweb saying that it can be up to 63 characters.

in reply to Tuta • • •I use a phrase from a book, preferably one that's not too popular, then add some creative misspellings. For a hint, I can just use the book's title.
Things that I have never used in a password:
- DOB or anniversary of myself or family members
- Pet's name, current or past
- Home Town
- Any dictionary word (unless obfuscated by multiple misspellings)
What am I forgetting?

in reply to Tuta • • •Using a variation of: "day" "month", " year" and a symbol [$, !,?,@,€,&]
And since I use three languages that's three ways of spelling the month.
So if I changed it today it could be:
September25!2024@
Or
!25Setembre-2024?
Not the strongest but strong enough and easy to remember

in reply to Tuta • • •Passwords .. We only see passwords copied or shared (via phishing), not broken by cracking, that takes too much effort anyway. I can't recall password incidents because of brute force attacks, except for stupid breaches of websites, when a password file without decent encryption and a salt is used (like LinkedIn ages ago).
