  • Same. Tried bazzite, works fine, but immutable was annoying me for things like getting openvpn3 working (or anything involving more direct kernel stuff). Still use bazzite on my kid’s pc and my laptop but switched to fedora for my desktop and it’s been just right.

    Ubuntu and Canonical can fuck allllllll the way off. If I had to go back to a dpkg based distro it’d have to be Debian bleeding edge… and honestly I’d probably bite the bullet and try Arch instead just because of Debian’s release lag.





  • he’s not the kind of attractive I expected to wind up with

    I can’t tell if this is “I’m batting way out of my league” or “dude you’re ugly as sin but you look like my dad so I’m into it.”

    I’ve also told my partner that when he makes that very specific devious chuckle (that deep genuine one it’s hard to fake like when I send him a really good meme) sometimes I can feel my vagina make a little sploosh of goo.

  • Correction: “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.”

    Zack’s saying that the police aren’t your friends, and if you’re a certain ethnicity some of them are actively trying to eradicate you.

    In that context, that MAGAts are championing that song is even more sinister than them just missing the point.









  • Maximum length is the biggest red flag to me and was the catalyst for me making the effort to switch to unique passwords per-account years ago. There’s just so, so many shitty homerolled security systems out there… and data breaches seem to be a perennial problem these days.

    There’s just no excuse for limiting the length if you’re doing security correctly (other than perhaps a large upper limit just to protect against someone DOSing the backend with a bunch of 100MB strings; 512 characters seems reasonable).

    By setting an upper limit, you’re basically saying one or more of these things:

    • We store your password in plaintext
    • We store a hash but our hashing function has an unnecessarily arbitrarily limited input size
    • The person/team implementing the backend has no idea what they’re doing and/or just copy pasted login code from stack overflow
    • We tried to get away with minimal password requirements but some middle manager wouldn’t rubber stamp it without arbitrary_list_of_bs
