US Credit Union Service Leaks Millions of Records and Passwords in Plain Text
  • They aren’t sure yet if someone else found it first. If a smart person found it first they could sell it piecemeal to make it harder to know where it came from. Each identity isn’t worth much but that’s a lot. Combine that with the password stuffing capability from a plain text password list and there’s…

    If you ever, ever store passwords in plain text instead of hashed and salted your business should be shut down. Thats below even Security 101 level, and shows a critical carelessness for user data.

    When we’re find things like this, unless we have exact audit logs proving there was no misuse, we assume it was misused because that’s the only sane way to do it.

    If it turns out they have excellent logging (hah) maybe they can prove it, let’s hope so for the affected people’s sake.

  • Face the consequences - Work Chronicles
  • I have seen a pattern of the boss or even second-tier management not even knowing it's about to happen. Like the now-famous Cloudflare botched "layoff-not-a-layoff" decisions are being made by folks who probably don't even know the people they are firing, they are just names on a spreadsheet.

    The good managers I've worked for think this way, they are there to make their team better and actually care about them as humans. For anyone thinking about going into management, every business I've ever seen needs more managers that care, it's a worthwhile job and even fewer people can do it correctly than many technical jobs. Managing poorly is trivial, so we all think it's "easy".

  • Can RISC-V SBCs use ARM software?
  • RISC is just a design philosophy, ARM and RISC-V are different command sets (opcodes) and software will have to be recompiled to run on it without emulation, which would be slow.

    Think of it like languages. Both Japanese and English can describe an apple, but the actual words are dramatically different.

    A good thing is that with the ARM revolution people have gotten used to building and debugging code that can build on both x64 and ARM, so being able to build and run on RISC-V is like learning a third (or fourth language if you include going from x86 to x86-64) and anyone who’s learned languages will tell you each one is easier to learn than the last. It will take less time for developers to have RISC-V build targets in theory.

  • I installed a new, bigger SSD and cloned the old one, LUKS partition is still old size
  • Did you expand the filesystem itself?

    You go from physical (your dd) to encrypted (luks) to lvm(if used) to your filesytem itself.

    You probably have btrfs so check out Resizing btrfs

    Edit: I can read, you have ext4 :)

    Check out resize2fs, IIRC it can do it live on a mounted partition

  • Need new cookware
  • If you want a dutch oven, I have empirical evidence that their ceramic coating is better than the cheap (Tramontia, Lodge) coatings as I have all three. You pay for Le Creuset but they are close to gold standard for "buy it for life"

  • Need new cookware
  • Aluminum (hard anodized) is ok if and only if it's super thick and heavy. The biggest problem with most aluminum pans is that they're flimsy so they get hot spots and warp and generally are garbage. All-Clad, Calphalon, and others make very high quality aluminum pans.

    I always recommend finding somewhere that has pans for you to pick up and look at then maybe go online to buy them, that way you don't get garbage that photographs well.

  • Need new cookware
  • My collection has been picked up over about 25 years and is about 10 different companies and quality levels. If I had to rebuy pots and pans, here's what I would do for minimum coverage of most of my cooking:

    • 3 frying pans, 8-10-12 inch. The 8 would be hard anodized, the 10 a cast iron, and the 12 a stainless steel.
    • 2 pots: 2-quart sauce pot and a dutch oven. The sauce pot would be anodized and the dutch oven would be either cast iron or ceramic-coated cast iron
    • 1 wok, carbon steel

    Calphalon "Select" or "Premier" Hard Anodized

    pros:

    • Good non-stick coating
    • Durable enough to throw in the dishwasher
    • Stacking flat lids are weird until you realize you get 2x as many pots and lids in your pot cabinet
    • Pretty heavy and heat evenly

    cons:

    • Not induction compatible

    Alternate: All-Clad HA1, which is more expensive but induction compatible.

    All-Clad D3 Stainless

    pros:

    • Basically indestructible
    • Very heavy
    • Induction compatible

    cons:

    • Not cheap
    • likely will take the most effort to clean if they get stuck-on food (but see below)

    Lodge cast iron

    pros:

    • Inexpensive for the features
    • Extremely heavy
    • Nonstick gets better with use and is fixable
    • Induction compatible

    cons:

    • Don't put it in the dishwasher
    • Requires the most care and feeding
    • Cheaper ceramic coated dutch ovens will chip and stain

    Alternate: Le Creuset ceramic dutch ovens if you want better ceramic durability and can afford them.

    Basically anywhere I would be making "sticky stuff" like eggs, caramel, jam, or similar I want anodized. I am one of those cast-iron elitists but even I don't always want to take care of it afterwards, so I would get a 10" cast iron skillet for general-purpose use. the 12" stainless is great for almost everything saute/pan fry and searing, and if it gets covered with stuck-on food a spray of Dawn Powerwash (if you haven't used this stuff, I worry that it's made from radiation and small children but it is nearly magical) and a steel wool pad and you're clean again. Cast iron pans are good for sear-to-oven steaks, pan pizzas and cornbread outside of regular stovetop duty.

    Saucepots often get sugary/sticky stuff in them so anodized is the way to go there. If I had to get one large pot it would be a dutch oven. I would prefer an anodized stock pot and a dutch oven, but dutch ovens are extremely versatile. I have an enamel-coated cheap one and a large "regular" cast iron one that's a family heirloom and use them for soup/baking/bread and even another pan in a pinch. If you get lids that can go in the oven they are a bread-baking machine.

    Since I have an outdoor gas eye and I recommend if possible you get one if you like anything remotely Asian, I have a large carbon steel wok for stir fry type dishes. These, like the cast iron, take some care and feeding but like cast iron they just keep getting better with age. This is one time I don't get the heaviest thing, since there's so much heat involved it's less important and you're throwing the pan around a lot so lighter can be nice. I recommend one with a removable wooden handle so you can throw it in the oven at 350 wiped with oil a few times to build up a starting coat.

    Everything else is bonus, really. I tend to look for the heaviest induction compatible stuff I can as I have an electric stovetop but I have one portable induction "eye" and it's so useful I will likely get an induction cooktop when I upgrade. Cast iron is not hard to take care of and can be extremely non-stick, as well as being totally safe for cooking with zero possibly dangerous chemicals, but it does take more work than just throwing it in the dishwasher. One of those little chainmail pads will usually solve the problem though as they get slippery once used, but you have to dry them after washing unlike everything else that I can drip-dry on a rack.

    If I was only allowed one pot material it would be cast iron, but like I said I know I'm biased since I have a couple heirloom pans and am spoiled. Since heavy pan = more thermal mass = less temp drop when you put food in, you get better browning so whatever you get, just the overall weight compared to other pans of the same size is important.

  • 50 shades of greige: Why our clothes and homes became so monochromatic and blandly uniform
  • I actually prefer the light grey walls, I have lots of smart lights that mean I can bounce light off them and give rooms whatever mood I want anytime I want. The walls are just the canvas now. Don’t underestimate an rgb light pointed at a wall to make things really colorful without being overly bright, and nowadays relatively privacy-friendly Bluetooth lights are available down at hardware stores for cheap.

  • A Tribute to Bram Moolenaar, The Maestro Behind Vim Code Editor
  • Calling it a code editor is like calling my car a “work transport vehicle”

    Vim is an all purpose text-editing machine and although it has some definite quirks it solves problems. If you’ve used original vi you’ll know just how much more amazing vim is without changing the core concepts.

    Much love to Bram, you made the world a better place ❤️

  • Anti-Fascists Rule
  • The thing I take away from Batman is that if you think a problem though, you can prepare for what might happen and have a response ready, making you look like a super hero for those without the foresight. It’s a power anyone can have, so it’s very relatable and actually a valuable lesson.

    Also, in many of the stories he is a terribly broken and traumatized man, and those sorts of characters are usually more interesting. Batman has just been around for so long he was brooding and sullen before brooding and sullen were cool which gives him additional cred. As the “flipside” to the Boy Scout Superman (at least at times) but the two have the same goals is where I really enjoy the character, I think the Justice League show did a very good job there in playing the two against each other.

    One thing is, like others have said, he has had very different personalities depending on writing so you may really only like certain versions of him and that’s valid.

  • The Crisis Over American Manhood Is Really Code for Something Else
  • Manhood or masculinity is perfectly fine so long as it’s a personal decision and you don’t judge others to whatever you’ve decided is the “standard”

    If you want to wear plaid with an 18 inch beard and chop wood, awesome. Just don’t tell me thats the only standard for “a man”

  • Why do most gaming laptops have vents on the bottom?
  • Even my “corporate” Thinkpad with no dedicated GPU has all the fans on the bottom and exhausting to the sides and back.

    With the new hinges there’s space on the back for exhaust, some impeller fans drawing from the sides and exhausting out the back would be so much better. I custom printed some 1/2 inch high feet so it doesn’t throttle sitting on a table or lap desk because it’s just a terrible design even when used normally
