Or "let's finish setting up your PC" full screen on a 4 year old system. Then you click through just to find the only options are 1) share more data with Microsoft, or 2) make Edge your default browser. The day I find a decent note taking tablet running Linux, windows is dead to me.

Switch testers are quite nice even if they don't have the exact switch you want. It's a lot easier to figure out what the numbers and descriptions mean if you have a comparison point. The switches I ended up with were not in any tester, but the testers were still super helpful.

As for layout, it's worth being open to the smaller things like CRKBD or Lily58, your brain is better at adapting than you may think. These layouts save desk space, are significantly cheaper, and are quite nice to use. The savings add up especially quick if you are trying out different kinds of keys.

Beautiful, it kinda reminds me of the special effects used in some Star Trek episodes. I wonder if this was the artist's inspiration?

Regardless of the other stuff, deputy spam catcher is and extremely valuable contribution to the community. I have requested this of people on Lemmy and been pleasantly surprised by how willing people are to help.

This especially holds true for niche subjects. I love back country skiing so I created and moderate /c/Backcountry . The mirror community on Reddit is extremely small and dumb crypto spam sits around for days before removal because there is only one mod. He seems like a cool person dedicated to the sport, but he just can't be there all the time. I created the community in the hopes that I can invite and keep a larger mod team.

When you are filling out the web form with your password it's stored plain text in the web browser and accessible via JavaScript. At that point, a JavaScript function checks the requirements like length and then does the salting/hashing/etc and sends the result to the server.

You could probably come up with a convoluted scheme to check requirements server side, but it would weaken the strength of the hash so I doubt anyone does it this way. The down side of the client side checking is that a tenacious user could bypass the password requirements by modifying the JavaScript. But they could also just choose a dumb password within the requirements so it doesn't matter much... "h4xor!h4xor!h4xor!" Fits most password requirements I have seen but is probably tried pretty quickly by password crackers.

Perhaps they validate the passwords client side before hashing. The user could bypass the restrictions pretty easily by modifying the JavaScript of the website, but the password would not be transmitted un-hashed.

It is worth pointing out that nearly any password restriction like this can be made ineffective by the user anyway. Most people who are asked to put a special character in the password just add a ! to the end. I think length is still a good validation though and it runs into the same issue @[email protected] is asking about

Thanks, will check that one out. I do like things that are a little more on the technical side, but it's a fine balance between going deep and keeping it understandable. Especially when it's outside of your field of study.

I tried curiosity stream for a while and it was decent. I think my major complaint was that it didn't do the technical deep dives as well. PBS space time does a great job of that. I didn't feel like I fully understood entropy until their videos.

I have also seen ads for Magellan tv which also calls itself a streaming platform for documentaries. I know very little about it beyond the ads though.

I noticed a lack of eventual consistency while posting a while ago and wondered if this would also be an issue. It seems like one event is published per post and of it's missed, the other servers don't get the post. I was wondering if it was similar for moderator actions as well.

For now, I just appointed myself as a moderator of my community on a couple different servers. Doesn't solve the issue but at least it might improve things a little.

In the us it isn't too hard to get a title for a kit car. It needs an inspection and emissions test in most states, but it's certainly possible and people do it regularly.

I think the question you should ask is what kind of impression are you making? From the perspective of someone who doesn't know how open source or the fediverse works, they will see your actions as arbitrary and unfair (effectively this: [email protected]).

That being said, I am going to have a zero tolerance policy for bending the rules or generally being a jerk from Threads users.
