    Might be an interesting thread to read.

    Many says that your system is “better than the average person reusing the same password”, but still not better than a password manager, and that you can’t “out remember a machine”. Many have also pointed out that data breaches and hacking is actually very common these days, all an attacker would need is 2 sample and they would see the pattern; On top of that, with the development of AI, there could eventually be a bot that would to test variations of jusr one leaked password and attack your acounts on different websites, then you’d have to change all your passwords, instead of just one. Someone also said that, this is essentially like a Master Password of a password vault + a “Salt” as your passwords, and the password is only as secure as those few unique characters, which could be cracked very easily.




  • You can go to jail in some countries for cutting ties with your abusive parents. It’s so fucked up.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filial_responsibility_laws

    Typically, these laws obligate adult children (or depending on the state, other family members) to pay for their indigent parents’/relatives’ food, clothing, shelter and medical needs. Should the children fail to provide adequately, they allow nursing homes and government agencies to bring legal action to recover the cost of caring for the parents. Adult children can even go to jail in some states if they fail to provide filial support.

    In 2012, the media reported the case of John Pittas, whose mother had received care in a skilled nursing facility in Pennsylvania after an accident and then moved to Greece. The nursing home sued her son directly, before even trying to collect from Medicaid. A court in Pennsylvania ruled that the son must pay, according to the Pennsylvania filial responsibility law.

    In Germany, people who are related in a “direct line” (grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren) are required to support each other, this includes children with impoverished parents (de:Elternunterhalt, support to parents).

    In France, close relatives (such as children, parents and spouses) are required to support each other in case of need (fr:obligation alimentaire, duty to support).

    Singapore, Taiwan, India, and Mainland China criminalize refusal of financial or emotional support for one’s elderly parents.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filial_piety

    In some societies with large Chinese communities, legislation has been introduced to establish or uphold filial piety. In the 2000s, Singapore introduced a law that makes it an offense to refuse to support one’s elderly parents; Taiwan took similar punitive measures.

    Some scholars argued that medieval China’s reliance on governance by filial piety formed a society that was better able to prevent crime and other misconduct than societies that did so only through legal means.


  • Perhaps a pc you gotta use you don’t trust completely so loggin in with your master passsord in a cloud based password manager, isn’t a good idea, even if you only want the password for a not so important service, you’d still be exposing yourself unnecessarily.

    Pre-Smartphone Era, you’d have a point.

    These days, everyone has a smartphone that is compatible with password managers.

    The Standard Operating Procedue is:

    1. Don’t log in on an untrusted machine

    2. If you must do it*, then find the password on your phone and type that in to the computer.

    Then after you’re done, you generate a new password on your phone password manager app and change it using your phone.

    If you don’t like to be distracted by smartphones, you can carry one turned off. If you don’t want to carry one for privacy reasons: Use an Offline Password Manager (Keepass) on Graphene OS, another Open Source Operating System, or a phone that has removable battery and with airplane mode on all the time.

    If you need a password for work and work doesn’t allow phones, memorize that password on top of your password manager’s vault password. Two passwords to remember are still better than remembering 20.

    What if you want to type in your password in a printer with limited capability? You’d have to manually and painstakingly type in your long generated e-mail/dropbox/etc password. And more.

    You generate a shorter password specifically for the printer, just read it from your phone when you need it.
