@utahcon At, it appears it's open registration, pending approval of the application. I thought it was invite-only. I'll fill that out instead.

@utahcon Could you send me an invite to the fostodon.org instance by chance?

Is it just me, or does Brave Search look and feel like Duck Duck Go?

I don't support Tor vanity URLs. Sure, they might be more user friendly, but they open up a door for adversaries to generate look-alike malicious onion sites, as it encourages the user to only check the vanity part and not the whole thing.

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I just figured out the math behind network subnet masks.

Turns out doing a double nested for loop iterating over 40,000 items in Python takes a while.

No, I'm not going to name the exam, site, or organization, but I guarantee you've all heard of them, and you would also all agree this is 100% on par.

Do be perfectly 100% clear, according to the passwd(1) manpage, the syntax is:

passwd [options] [LOGIN]

So there is no way the exam is insinuating that "N3wPWD4thi$" is a password, because they know that [LOGIN] is a username, right?

RIGHT???

I doubt it.

Taking a practice exam, and a question is asking what the following is executing:

# passwd N3wPWD4thi$

The supposed answer "Change the password of the underlying desktop Ubuntu installation".

If the underlying Ubuntu install has a user named "N3wPWD4thi$", then I agree.
