Russian farmers are ditching the ruble for a new cryptocurrency, thanks in part to a self-described "agro-anarchist" who throws parties honoring Karl Marx.

Came home to a new error from Kubuntu today. Very good instructions at least! Not sure what exactly caused it though.

In general Kubuntu has been pretty stable, but this error/crash recovery procedure would be tough for most non-developer Mac users I think

This man apparently found a cat under his bed who had given birth to kittens and it is really cute. "Is this what it feels like to have a child? I think I'm falling in love."

gotta say: 1Password 7 for Mac looks pretty nice https://blog.agilebits.com/2018/05/22/1password-7-for-mac-the-best-ever/

Separately, interesting that they commissioned some fun art ahead of this release

TIL Mastodon offers metadata fields in profiles!

honestly one my favorite parts of Plasma/KDE's aesthetic so far is the default cursor themeing

What columns do y'all have pinned? What order do you like them in?

Don’t _think_ I want an LVM???

Going minimal

mmm look at those fat scrollbars (thanks @CobaltVelvet )

Do any instances have alternative icons/markings for these 4 options?

What if they followed one theme/metaphor; something like:

- a billboard
- a bi-plane flying a banner
- a bulhorn
- a hand partially obscuring a whisper

or

- chisel/stone tablet
- a postcard
... I can't think of 2 other ones but you get the idea

1Password's World Password Day challenge just opened!

https://bugcrowd.com/onepasswordgame

Really curious how long it takes for folks to crack. My #rust code, even if I had figured out how to use my 8 cores, would have taken an estimated 120+ years https://github.com/sts10/crackme-rust

More info on the challenge: https://blog.agilebits.com/2018/04/26/how-strong-should-your-master-password-be-for-world-password-day-wed-like-to-know/

messy Rust code

Here's how Pop_OS 18.04 (System76's Linux distro) is nudging users toward encrypting their hard drive during install process, according to new docs: http://pop.system76.com/docs/install-pop-os/

I'd be dead, even using my 8 threads.

So... I guess 3 words, chosen randomly from a ~18k wordlist, hashed with 100,000 rounds of PBKDF2 is... a decently safe password?

Some upbeat reading for spring

lol wow password hashing is p intensive

If anyone knows PBKDF2 and #Rust and is feeling helpful —

I'm confused about why my derived hashes aren't matching those listed in this 1Password challenge I'm trying to figure out.
