Note: deleting this project. Hadn’t realised grip was sending the file to Github to be rendered (WTF + also RTMF, Aral… anyway). So use mdcat if you want to render local files instead (github.com/lunaryorn/mdcat)

Thanks @minus for the heads up.

Remember folks, we must give huge multibillion-dollar multinational corporations every benefit of the doubt. Please make sure you use your limited time on Earth challenging individuals who call them out on human rights and social justice grounds. Together we can defeat the commies.

Have you ever wondered what goes on in those school shooter trainings your child’s teacher is required to undergo?

…as it turns out, I took extensive ethnographic field notes of the one I did.

Want to know some of what's in them?

According to the EU Commission, “…Google and Facebook are being rewarded financially for all their hard work in producing amazing software, clever algorithms and exciting designs…”

On a scale of zero to zero, how much trust do you have that this institution will protect your human rights in the digital/networked age?

Thousands of young people have walked out of school to protest the government’s criminal inaction on the climate crisis. We are chanting “we want change” and we will keep on chanting until that change happens. We are the future. Listen to us.

Got the following error on multipass (beta channel) version 0.5:

cannot connect to the multipass socket

If you encounter the same thing, refreshing the snap to version 0.5-27-g49baef0 fixed it for me:

sudo snap refresh multipass --edge --classic

Likely related to this issue: github.com/CanonicalLtd/multip

If you want to know what multipass is or how it will be used in , see ar.al/2019/01/05/hypha-spike-d

~=8 Character Passwords Are Dead=~

New benchmark from the Hashcat Team shows a 2080Ti GPU passing 100 Billion password guesses per second (NTLM hash).

This means that the entire keyspace, or every possible combination of:
- Upper
- Lower
- Number
- Symbol

...of an 8 character password can be guessed in:

~2.5 hours

(8x 2080Ti GPUs against NTLM Windows hash)

OK, so beyond the battle between Big Tech and Big Media, here’s what I want to know: how does this (does it?) effect peer-to-peer, e2e-encrypted non-commercial platforms?

Course no one is talking about that as we don’t have millions to pay shills/lobbyists.
