Depending on the situation it can be fun to ask, “A female what?” Try to get them to say human.

Now do the A spec.

Not what I expected. You’re a rockstar for sharing!

Are you referencing something or is this satire?

ircCloud because my self hosted push notifications were failing and it worked right away.

Irssi before I started depending on push notifications though.

What makes it more of a minefield than email?

I agree. Premium modern plastic or resin beats metal or glass any day.

Better grip. Better duribiliy. Transparent to radio. Easier to repair or replace. It’s just better.

That’s why I agreed with you. :P

I agree. I didn’t realize we were talking about average users. I thought we were talking about people building NAS.

It can be. It doesn’t have to be. If ECC is too expensive I recommend avoiding ZFS.

If you are planning to use zfs its worth a few extra bucks for ecc.

Do you also prefer to drink water out of the toilet? I know taste is subjective but…

CMD.EXE is eye cancer. Whatever launched when I searched for powershell was a slightly better blue version. What are you using that you actually like?

If your average house only has one person showering at a time an 18 kW 3.51 GPM Tankless Electric Water Heater would work. It would cost about $500.

To replace that with Keurigs would take some work. They draw 900 to 1500 watts depending on model. So it would take between 20 and 12 Keurigs to match the power draw. I’m not sure what the inlet/outlet tubing diameters are but it seems some replacement parts labeled 1/4" so that’s half a gallon per minute max. You’d need 7 or 8 running in parallel to move enough water. Probably 21 900 watt Keurigs running in groups of 3 would come closest.

I estimate about $2000 in Keurigs plus another few hundred dollars in fittings and a lot of time to reproduce a purpose built $500 water heater.

And of course Keurigs break frequently and you’d definitely void any warranty.

Good luck!

Self-hosted Bitwarden. I just pay $10 for their pro hosted version because they’ve not given me any reason to doubt them yet but I hear self-hosted is easy.

I like it. A note that says, “I thought I could squeeze in but there wasn’t enough room. Sorry about the damage.” Might make them reconsider doing this again.

Semantics aside it sounds like we are in agreement. Have another upvote. :)

Why does upvoting feel better without a karma system? shrug

I’m a bit behind on password specific hashing techniques. Thanks for the education.

My background more in general purpose one way hashing functions where we want to be able to calculate hashes quickly, without collisions, and using a consistent amount of resources.

If the goal is to be resource intensive why don’t modern hashing functions designed to use more resources? What’s the technical problem keeping Argon2 from being designed to eat even more cycles?

True. I was all kinds of incorrect in my hasty typing. I’ll update it to be less wrong.

I was incorrect about the goal being minimal resources. I should have written that that goal was to have controlled resource usage. The salt does not increase the expense of the the hash function. Key stretching techniques like adding rounds increase the expense to reach the final hash output but does not increase the expense of the hash function. High password length allowances of several thousand characters should not lead to a denial of service attack but they don’t materially increase security after a certain length either.
