Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can totally use emojis as passwords. You can probably even make this a policy at your company.

Edit: I thought this was an obvious enough joke, but just to clear things up: Only do this if you hate your company and everyone working there.

this is useless unless you can copy/paste or autofill your passwords

You're not using a password manager?

don't you ever need access to one of your accounts from a machine other than what you have in your pocket?

Using Keepass and a USB, this has never been a problem for me.

i prefer carrying an efficient password in my mind rather than carrying a usb full of emoji passwords

but then each to their own

An "efficient password" you can remember is probably a bad password

work on your memory

So your memory is better than a computer? XD

can you please read what i wrote again? I'm sure i didn't write what you did read.

You said the password in your brain is secure. Thats false.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

do you know my password? no.

you assume that it's not secure. You are false. You are writing about something you don't know and you insist!

There are people who can memorize many tens of thousands of decimals. Don't worry, passwords i need to be safe are safe in my mind. What a dickhead you are!
