~=8 Character Passwords Are Dead=~

New benchmark from the Hashcat Team shows a 2080Ti GPU passing 100 Billion password guesses per second (NTLM hash).

This means that the entire keyspace, or every possible combination of:
- Upper
- Lower
- Number
- Symbol

...of an 8 character password can be guessed in:

~2.5 hours

(8x 2080Ti GPUs against NTLM Windows hash)

Europe: What began as a bad idea has become an outright crisis for the future of the Internet as we know it: the #CopyrightDirective is headed for a final vote. There's never been a moment where your voice mattered more. #SaveOurInternet https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/02/final-version-eus-copyright-directive-worst-one-yet

Over four million Internet users have signed the petition against the Directive. Now, it's time to call your MEP directly and tell them #Article11 and #Article13 would be a catastrophe for free expression and competition online. https://SaveYourInternet.eu https://t.co/N9VYWh2iDJ

A student of mine once wrote an amazing essay about how increased efficiency always means we use more, not less. Here's Low Tech with a great article on the topic.

A transition to renewable energy is meaningless if we don't topple our culture of consumption. That's a crucial part of my #solarpunk philosophy.

Me trying to work when I'm not feeling it

Ok, 3h later we have ~140 instances with over half a million registered users.

Some hosted on @mastohost, some on raspberry-pis at home. Some gynormous, some single-user instances.

What I like about this is how diverse it is, and how it completely uproots all the assumptions MEP Voss and his ilk have about "platforms".

Now to make this into good talking points. But that's tomorrow. :)
