    It’s kinda simple actually. As much as I love patching the Linux kernel or debugging it, or anything really it takes a lot of the one resource in life I have less of each day, time. Generally on macOS I can just upgrade and not bother worrying about breakage. Not always sure but if you’ve ever had to deal with python libraries or c libraries and updating source you start to go if I’m not getting paid for this crap why bother.

    My entire network is almost all Linux but I generally just use macOS mostly cause safari battery life is insane. Plus zsh as my shell I live in the terminal and use emacs I can pretty easy migrate off either but video apps and audio are so much better on macOS it’s not even funny. Maybe now that the realtime kernel patches are in mainstream Linux audio can get closer to macOS audio latency but I won’t hold my breath.

    I can’t speak to windows though I don’t really use it outside of work related usage which is minimal as I work for a company that sells a Linux distribution.


  • I’m curious how you could make that work as it’s a basic contradiction. For 6+6 to equal 10 6 couldn’t equal itself which makes the entire premise invalid.

    If you want more single digit numbers hexadecimal aka base 16 is even better than 12. But I can’t see how 10 can be evenly divided by all of 2,3,4,6 without being a multiple of the set.

    Sure just if fully given in this way it’s basically the same as an 11 character password. And more damning is it’s not really random. I’d use this as a case of more education on longer passphrases aren’t always longer entropy on their own if they are non random phrases is all. And there’s a lot of different word lists out there. I’d give this a go on my system and see if a guided run with the knowledge of how things were built can brute force it.

    The big thing is a secure passphrase or password should be resistant to attacks even if there is perfect knowledge of how it was generated. In this case all lower case English words in a non random phrase works against that.





  • It’s just a meme, I mean I never looked at people’s thumbnails before but it is interesting theirs is like the length of my cuticle.

    Another example I have experienced is my ear lobes don’t got dangly bits and are secured straight to my head. It’s apparently uncommon but for me that’s how ears work and dangly ear lobes is odd. I never paid attention to it until an ex told me she was weirded out by my ears intially and found them ugly. So dunno don’t read too much into it I guess?
