Ardens, I agree with trying to create your own password system - at least for your most commonly used things. My concept is a bit like this (don't wanna give it all away): I keep at least 3 different emails and they have their own browser (Brave, Goanna engine (Palemooon or Basilisk), and Firefox, for example - ones with different engines) and I also use those browsers' profile options for certain categories. Then, just so that i remember what I am using, I try to color-coordinate the browser's theme and email theme. Ex: gold is for money/financial stuff and I use protonmail with an odd email name used for nothing else and I use a passphrase in a language I speak a tiny bit of. I assume that most company wesites have a minimum of 3 letters and I can either use the first 3 letters or the last 3 letters as part of my passphrase. If for my financial stuff, I can either add or multiple the numbers....if letter E is 5 and E is one of the letters, for financial, I can multiple by whatever number i choose but I stay consistent...so let's say it is 3. Letter E is 5, so 5 x 3 = 15. If another letter in the company name is C and that corresponds to 3, then 3 x 3 = 9. And then there is a 3rd letter L which corresponds to 12, so 12 x 3 + 36. So, somewhere within my passphrase, instead of the ECL that is the company website's name, I use 15936. I also must use a combo of caps and lowercase letters, at least one symbol. usually over 14 total characters and no more than 18 - because some websites set these rules. I can inject the number sequence anywhere I choose - maybe after the 3rd letter of my passphrase just so that I recall that number 3 as being for financial stuff. Example if my passphrase (in a different language) is mykiTTycatisythecutestintheworld =/becomes myk15936iTTycatisthecutestintheworld. Also, for common words such as is or the, swap that word out of symbols - in this example, the word "is" will become %$...so, myk15936iTTycat%$thecutestintheworld

I get tripped up for work passwords, though, because some employers force you to update your PW every 90 days. I usually just add a character and keep the rest the same...but, I can still get a bit forgetful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F0jE1UAdt8 Hear about what the leaked secrets from Discord really were. I am shocked that such a liberal channel is the one giving me the facts this time! Perhaps some liberals still hate war after all.

Right and wrong are relative to some extent and always have been and always will be. Who is to say the religious fundamentalist's 'decency' is better or worse than (the obvious opposite) a Progressive's? Who is sole arbiter of the truth? Shouldn't it be more up to the individual? What ever happened to "Live and let live"?

My rights end where yours begin and vice versa. My main point will always be "you do you" or "good fences make good neighbours" or don't trespass on my property or in my mental space. Values differ from individual to individual - even within close-knit families or within causes. As long as you don't infringe upon another's freedom (I include all animals - wild and domestic), you should be able to do as you please. Both Left and Right have one thing in common - both try to shove their values ("decency") down the throats of others. Fuck you both equally. If that (do as I say) mindset isn't offensive, then i don't know what is! Be as this or that as you like, but preaching to me when I don't wanna hear it is going to breed resentment. That is you wasting my time and mental energies. Live by your own values and if I see that you are content, healthy, and successful in one manner or another, maybe I will adopt some of your ways WITHOUT your saying one word to me. Proselytizing or 'teaching' me is so often rude.

can't you stick to the OS and hardware (facts) and leave politics/opinions outta this? the community does matter if you need help, but how in the hell do they know your race, sex, or politics unless you wear them on your sleeve?
