  • This is my biggest pet peeve. Password policies are largely mired in inaccurate conventional wisdom, even though we have good guidance docs from NIST on this.

    Frustrating poor policy configs aside, this max length is a huge red flag, basically they are admitting that they store your password in plan text and aren’t hashing like they should be.

    If a company tells you your password has a maximum length, they are untrustable with anything important.








  • I had a conversation with someone recently about what the Midwest was. I live in Kansas and always just assumed that must mean Kansas because it doesn’t really get any more… mid… and we’re west of where the US started defining things at.

    But apparently everyone seems to also think they’re Midwest and has all sorts of reasoning. It would be interesting to see a map of what different regions self identified as.






  • When I got married, my wife really wanted her hometown pastor to do the religious stuff because it was important to her family. She warned me that I wouldn’t like it, but he literally included “submitting” in our vows.

    Now nothing of the sort has or will happen, because her free will matters to me…. But in many religious communities this is normalized.
