Why is Linux so frustrating for some people? in c/[email protected]

One pain point I commiserate with mentioned here is the fractured nature of finding federated communities, which I don't see any easy way to solve.

Am I paranoid, or is everyone just out to get me? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
 

Ever since the Lastpass breach (thankfully moved to Bitwarden and recycled passwords prior) I've had a heightened awareness of the potential for vulnerabilities beyond my paygrade leading to online catastrophe for me. I use Bitwarden to generate a random password for all sites.

If it's something which could truly cause a headache such as my email or banking however, I'll usually append the domain name, or a word, or a symbol to the password such that after my phone or PC's Bitwarden autofill enters the saved password I also need to enter whichever word or symbol for the site. Feels like this gives me some defense if people smarter than me made a mistake, but I guess I have questions for folks who know about hashing/blackmagic/thecyber.

  • Would this have any benefit, if one were to put "google" at the end of their Google password, as far as protecting from a password manager exploit?
  • No, I don't actually put google or reddit at the end of my password; oops not a question
  • Is that already something baddies would know to try? Or did I just play myself by posting this on the internet?

I'm also no expert, but I know diesel-electric trains typically power each axle so assume it's the same

Well, given they're electric I would assume they're both set to the same speed. This does not look safe though

What are your thoughts on being called Lemmings if this platform becomes a staple? in c/casualconversation

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me

I grew up in Sugarhouse and recently moved to Millcreek after being out of the area for a while. I like being close to most things with very little traffic, also handy having usable pubic transit. I'm not a bar crawler but Tailgate Tavern has great open mic nights.
