We are constantly reminded to use strong passwords to make it harder for an attacker to brute-force into our accounts.
However, our credentials are usually a login name and a password, not just a password. Attackers have to brute-force both, don't they? When I look at my SSH's server logs, I can see constant intrusion attempts made under administrative login names such as root, apache, admin, and common first names such as john, matt, ryan...
If a login name is unlikely to be guessed (e.g. andreii-alexievitch), can we say it's mostly safe, even if its password isn't as strong as it could?

No.
Strong usernames? You might be retarded.
>>53584568
you could use a random username with 64 bits of entropy and a random password with 64 bits of entropy; or you could just use a normal username and a random password with 128 bits of entropy

Is Siri enforcing rape culture?
>>53584460
You must have some severe problems, if the first thing you do after you got raped is asking your fucking phone what you should do.
More like don't ask your fucking phone about deeply personal problems you fucking morons

typical male attitude. Have you ever stopped to think for a second that maybe the problem lies in the Misogynistic tech bro-culture?
Well /g/, we fought the good fight and sadly lost.

They're not wrong they're just 40 years early. When moore's law starts to drop off and storage+batteries get better I think there won't be any reason to make desktop specific comptuers. The world will move towards mobile laptops/tablets which can be plugged into a set of screens and a charging cable when at a desk and taken with you at any other time.
I recently got a job as a night auditor.
Why isn't this job automated? It's 80% data entry, and 20% math. Is it cause it technically deals with customers? Cause I talk to maybe two people who aren't my co-workers a night.
>>53583984
I've heard of night auditors who literally wrote a script to do their job in 2 minutes with a press of a button and then just did nothing the rest of their shift.
>>53584029
I already do nothing 7 of the 8 hours I work. I was thinking more "can I automate the process and sell it to hotels as a cheaper and more efficient alternative?"

Where does /g/ get their news?
Best I could come up with in terms of journalistic quality
Ars Technica
Digitimes
Techdirt
Semiengineering
Anandtech
Reuters Tech
I kinda want to find something to replace Ars though because they are owned by Conde Nast, who I definitely don't enjoy endorsing.
/g/ gets most of it's news from /g/.
>>53583959
Reddit & The Verge.
And whatever I see on Sourcefed.
Stormfront and /pol/ mostly.
Desktop General:
what's up /g/,
I just built my self a nice affordable gaming rig (windows 8, don't lynch me) and I'm looking for desktop setup inspo. So let me have it, show me your elegant minimalistic desktops. Oh and also do tell us how you got it looking so nice.
>>53583779
Simple, I just auto hide my toolbar.
Nothing to really Lynch you for Linux is shit for gaming. Windows is the only viable option

Have you ever had to downgrade your software because the older version works better than the newest version? Tell me about it.
It happened to me this week. On my tablet, F-Droid recently alerted me to a new version of VLC. I upgraded from version 1.6.6 to 1.9.0 and 1.9.0 gave me nothing but trouble. VLC 1.9.0 would crash constantly so I downgraded back to 1.6.6 and now everything is peachy keen again.
Downgraded phones to root them and downgraded from buggy ROMs back to stable ones.
Haven't really had a problem with apps. If it stops working I just find one of the other 10 that fulfill the same purpose. For example: Google maps takes over 30 minutes to find my GPS signal even with Geolog. It crashes when GPS status or GPSfix are running. So I said fuck it and installed Waze and it finds my location in <1s and has more information about the roads and conditions and traffic.
>>53583672
I wish my phone could be downgraded. I'd love to get cyanogenmod onto it, but from the poking around I've done I've determined that I'm fucked. It's an LG Thrill 4g with android 4.something on it.
>>53583752
I don't know what that phone is
Looks like you should have done more research before buying.

We do not talk about the music as it is but how it's created and what we use and how to help

1 simple rule I hope you can guys do, please don't be assholes to those who
have a different perspective on another DAW, no matter what it is or how shitty
it is. I know there are some very laughable ones out there but ya know...
So please just be as helpful as you can.

Hello desktop thread
>trying to figure ot the password to this .rar folder.
>average speed with full range of all possible passwords: ~ 580p/s
>including dictionary with passwords: ~26p/s
Why the fuck does it take so long when using a dictionary? Anything I can do to make it faster?
>>53582711
Nvm, running the programm 5 times and splitting the password dictionary file bumps it up to a total of ~ 250p/s at 80% CPU usage.
I guess this kinda fixes the problem.
>>53582896
Doesn't it string multiple words together and munge them like a good dictionary attack? Things like "A1pHaz3br@" (from 'alpha' and 'zebra'). If you split up the dictionary, it will cut down the number of combinations like this that it can try because no process's dictionary will have both alpha and zebra in it.
Or is this a one word dictionary attack, just scanning through and trying each and corruptions of it?
Also, if you're trying to crack one of those retarded rars that they want you to do dumb offers to obtain the password for, the password's probably a bunch of random numbers and letters.
>>53583727
A one word dictionary attack.
I was just wondering why it took him so long to enter a 8 digit word that he fetched from a file compared to an 8 digit word that he "came up with" himself.
The only possible reason I can think of is an added delay when reading the .dic file, but it shouldn't really cut the passwords per second down to < 10%.
What should I use my 24.50 in Play Credits for in the Play market? I want to use them before they expire
they expire? isn't that illegal or something?
>>53582011
According to the "You credit will expire a year from now" page after you submit a form I believe they do expire.

Did I do okay? This is mostly to replace an ancient Phenom II X4, but I sprang for the ram since it was cheap and the mobo wanted a different kind anyway. A few years ago I would've just stayed with 8 gigs, which is what I got now, but browsers always seem to bloat up to 4 gigs of memory usage.
I didn't buy a new card cuz apparently there's a die shrink happening soon, and both nVidia and AMD are gonna be doin it at around the same time. I only have the vaguest understanding of what that means other than GPUs are gonna be somewhat cheap soon.
>i5 in 2016
>skymeme
at least mobo and ram are ok
New GPUs are suppose to have better power consumption which make them cheaper in the long run.
>>53581625
I donno what the skymeme is but IIRC when I was looking at i7s they were like $200 more than this i5. I got this one cuz it could be OC'd, but I've only OC'd with the Phenom and that had a really easy program for doing it without fucking around in the bios.
