Hashing is more about obscuring the password if the database gets compromised. I guess they could send 2^256 or 2^512 passwords guesses, but at that point you probably have bigger issues.

It doesn't matter the input size, it hashes down to the same length. It does increase the CPU time, but not the storage space. If the hashing is done on the client side (pre-transmission), then the server has no extra cost.

For example, the hash of a Linux ISO isn't 10 pages long. If you SHA-256 something, it always results in 256 bits of output.

On the other hand, base 64-ing something does get longer as the input grows.

As someone stuck in DTW, I feel the pain.

I just sleep in full plate, because keeping track of the AC difference is too hard (because I am lazy).

Probably for tax purposes.

The beauty of Linux at home, you get to choose what works best for you.

Also, you can configure sudo to prompt every time if you really want.

I was on a system that was configured that way for "security", so I would just 'sudo bash' which is obviously much safer /s.

N64 controller. It's insane, but I love it.

I totally expect one day a XFCE (Wayland) option will show up, I will click it, forget I did, and use it forever more.

[–] wer2@lemm.ee 18 points 1 month ago (4 children)

XOrg is my daily driver for these reasons:

  1. I mostly use XFCE, which doesn't have Wayland yet
  2. last time I tried Wayland (long time ago now on Gnomr), it was buggy and didn't work
  3. I don't change my setups that much, so I haven't tried it since
  4. I don't need the features Wayland offers/XOrg covers my use cases
  5. Wayland drama

That being said, I have no fundamental opposition to Wayland, and will probably use it someday.

Rollmaster has entered the chat.

Here is your supplement book Arms Law. It is just tables. Pages and pages of tables.
