  • If you were alive in 1960s America, you would have seen no seat belts, significantly lower life expectancy, children still dying to smallpox and polio, and if you are ethnically from the Middle East; everyone in America would have hated you. Race riots were a massive thing in the 60s, police brutality was rampant against people of color. Even the FBI was trying to suppress race progress.

    You have presidents for decades trying to create racist drug politics to entrap only non-white non-affluent people into cyclical prison systems.

    You have so much hidden then, that happens today, but it was both hidden and far far greater.

    The ideal doesn’t exist at all and more so for someone like yourself.


  • Notice how I didn’t just use the service name?

    <Disco>

    <Netfucks>

    <MailGoog>

    Whatever nickname you use for your services. There is no requirement you also use the service name in the tagging template.

    The idea that a breach of a service would have someone looking at your individual password is also pretty silly. There would be variations and pattern matching Lagos run against lists of hundreds of thousands to millions of passwords… but the decryption of a complete password to plain text is so reductions at this point, we are talking about the 0.01% case of a then even more silly “let’s look at this guys password in particular” 0.0001% case on top of it…

    It’s not a real problem because if your service is at the point it is leaking not just salted and hashed passwords, but plain text passwords: you are in a big problem up no matter what for most users. Almost everyone reuses passwords. The real risk is the simple reuse. Get just a slightly different variation and you are miles more secure in the case of a breach that results in full decryption.

    The majority still reuse Password1234! Everywhere. This gives you a easier way to be miles better.

    Better still of course is some sort of managed password vault, assuming you trust their implementation. However, this costs zero in the training, or tech literacy upskilling that even the moderate change to a password vault requires. It’s simply an extension of what people already intuitively know. Thus, barrier to entry is easier while giving you several orders more protection.





  • You can take this a step further to segregate passwords as well.

    Reusing passwords across devices is bad. If one gets compromised you don’t want a password being out into a brute force table to be used with all your other accounts elsewhere.

    This method of tagging using HTML markup styles in your passwords lets you keep the same core passphrase but alter the tagging, specific to the service.

    You can do this easily while also giving you artificial password complexity.

    Example:

    Core passpgrase is “yogurt”

    Password for gmail becomes markup with a <mailPassGoog>yogurt</mailPassGoog>

    I only need to remember yogurt.

    Every device just gets a truncated service tag appended to the beginning and end using HTML style tags.

    Suddenly you have a 26+ character password that you don’t forget and doesn’t compromise you across other services because each is different.






  • Yes.

    Just this month I was there and the pizza is a different concept there to be sure.

    Street pizzas of thinly sliced zucchini or potato covering bread rounds with olive oil. That’s pizza in Rome.

    Focaccia bread like crust with some anchovies and potatoe? Pizza.

    Neapolitan style is just a different style again, but the theme is dough is not the delivery agent, it is the primary purpose. The dough is the important bit, with toppings being intended to enhance subtle flavors for it.

    Italian pizza is most similar in American expectations of food typically found there, to flatbread dishes. It’s flatbread with some stuff on top to accent it. There is no cheese on most of the pizza I had in the various parts of Italy I was in. Cheese was not an expected component. Healthy or at least flavorful variations on additions to the dough are the goal.

    Whether you are in Sardinia, Calabria, or Rome; pizza is pizza dough with local additives.

    I have seen French fries on top of pizza in Sardinia, and this was called there “American pizza” :)


  • Two questions for you!

    1.) What is the most useful thing we in the Lemmy community can do to help you get that Oscar?

    2.) I have a secret Santa this year coming up in a month that I am a part of with some friends. Would you be interested in leaving a comment for a friend of mine in response to this that I can show them a month from now for the secret santa?

    “Hey Rome, this is Margot Robbie wishing you a merry Christmas and happy new year?”, or something like that?

    Thanks for being cool either way and good luck getting nominated this year!
