So I'm probably getting a work truck to drive home soon, which means there's no reason to keep my matrix xrs hanging around. Been toying with getting a brz/fr-s as a project car, and cheap as possible so I don't mind the possibility that I blow it up. Anyhow I went looking for the Toyoburu thread and it has fallen into archives, dammit.

Even when they were compromised, even if they client password data was taken(which it wasn't), it would have been encrypted and assuming you have a secure master password, there is not much to worry about.

That comic is a few years old now. I don't follow up with password cracking but it may take less guesses to break passwords. Computers and GPUs have become faster so they may be able to make more guesses in less time.mungtor posted:I've always found password managers to be a huge pain in the rear end, so to maintain uniqueness I just come up with a phrase like "K3w3lpHRaz3".

the main advantage of password managers is to ensure that you have strong, unique passwords for each individual site to minimize exposure in the event of a breach. 2FA wont help you much if you use the same password on multiple websites.

Computers and GPUs have become faster so they may be able to make more guesses in less time. I really should start using one of those password managers to be more secure. My passwords are long, obscure and stupid thanks to work and customers but they're still somewhat related I guess. I think work recommends lastpass. Should think about using 2FA on more places too I guess. Thought I'd be on site all day fixing stuff, had everything on my list plus a bunch of other stuff done by lunch time. Went out with the customer for lunch and now I'm back at the hotel. Any Bay Area-ish goons bored or have recommendations? I'm near Stanford University and I know traffic is going to turn to poo poo in a couple hours but I'm not sure if I want to sit at the hotel all night.

Computers and GPUs have become faster so they may be able to make more guesses in less time. Guessing a password is not a computationally limited task. It's literally running through a list of possible passwords as fast as it can. Any sanely designed system should have login rate limiting to easily pick out and stop anyone attempting to brute force a password. Cracking encryption, like the SHA1 attack, is computationally intensive because you're performing massive computations to find one that provides the equivalent result.

The absolute best way to get someone's password is always going to be social engineering or obtaining a physical record, both of which are assisted massively by corporate policies that dictate you must change it to a new one of a certain character combination/length at regular intervals. People will choose the minimum complexity, and/or write it down somewhere.

A short sentence, preferably something that doesn't really make sense with a number/symbol thrown in for flavor, is far more likely to be compromised by a flaw in the application or malware than by cracking. Probably shouldn't use something too common like a harry potter book title though. mariooncrack posted:My password managers autofill the username and password fields for me.

BigPaddy posted:Probably going to be joining the landed gentry within the next year and was wondering if anyone had experience with snow plows on trucks. Rather than paying someone to plow the driveway and what not since I will probably be getting something on a fairly large lot to store all my unfinished AI projects I was going to get a old truck and a plow and just do it myself. The question is that will the thing just disintegrate in a winter of hard use and salt and I should just get someone to come do it? Of course there is the fact that being Mr Plow sounds amusing but if the thing is going to cost a ton and then just fall apart either causing me to junk it and get another or fix it then I might as well get heated radiant tiles for the driveway and paths and be super lazy. I had a plow on a CJ-7. I never used it but I'm sure the person before me did and it was still a good car and good plow despite being 10 years old. Dad had a plow on a late 70s Chevy 4x4 and it fell apart after 5 years or so (the truck, not the plow) so he put the plow on his Toyota and used it for another 7 years or something. I think he actually did just replace the plow but it was 12+ years old at that point and got a hell of a lot of use (7800' in Colorado).

slurry_curry posted:because dropbox is not cloud based at all. Sorry, I should have clarified: the advantage of Keepass is that you don't have to upload the database anywhere: you can run if off a USB flashdrive on an air-gapped laptop in your concrete bunker. If you are slightly less paranoid/careful, you can still share access to it across multiple devices by putting the database in the cloud. Bad Guys then have to compromise both your cloud service and then the keypass encryption. Realistically, these are both a little OTT for most people. One thing I do like is that if you are somewhere where you don't trust the internet access, you can run it offline: e.g. when travelling overseas, I have unlocked the local copy of the database on my phone and then retrieved a low value password (e.g. gmail) for accessing a service without unlocking a high value password (e.g. bank account)

If you equip an F-150 Lariat to be equivalent (in everything other than Raptorness) to the nearly loaded 68k dollar Raptors that are practically all you see, it's about 56k. But then you have to factor in that it's easy to get 6k off a Lariat and hard to get a Raptor for less than 5k over the Raptor MSRP, and the price difference effectively goes from 12k to 23k. In other words I'm starting to think about getting an F-150 and putting a 6" lift on it instead of getting a Raptor. Rebates are pretty lovely on 2017 F-150s right now though so I should probably wait a while.

The 2018 is a facelift and mechanical upgrade, once those hit, 2017s should get much cheaper. A guy just around the block here got a grey raptor and it really is an amazing vehicle. probably the most imposing vehicle you can get for that price, and with their insane resale value, you could probably drive it for 3 years nearly free if you fight hard enough to buy it close to sticker. There are a couple hundred 2014s for sale on cars.com for $50k. in 5 years, a $52k raptor will still be well over $40k, a $45k lariat will be $25k.

Bad Guys then have to compromise both your cloud service and then the keypass encryption. Throw your database file into an encrypted file container that uses a medium strength password & keyfile, then throw the container file on your cloud service and carry the keyfile with you. Then even if someone knows your password they still won't be able to open the encrypted container without the keyfile, which can be anything that doesn't get modified regularly - like, say, a random picture on your smartphone.

Maybe its just me, but please explain how requiring me to enter a 8 digit, time based code is not relevant to account security at an individual level. Even if 1 factor is common, unless the underlying algorithm has been broken it's really not an issue. IMO, that's government or corporate level effort, and it's very unlikely that anybody cares enough about you specifically to make it worth the effort. My post was about how you could create unique passwords, with completely different hashes, easily and without entrusting any third party to manage your information for you. It's easy, and you never have to commit your info to any third party.

Password managers? No thanks. I wont trust any of them and I use passphrases anyway if I cant use two factor. *IF* I have a password list, I'll guarenttee it will make no sense to anyone. IF. Because I've been a SysAdmin so long not writing down anything that looks like a passcode has long been ingrained.

Powershift posted:The 2018 is a facelift and mechanical upgrade, once those hit, 2017s should get much cheaper. Is there a mechanical change? I knew about the facelift but figured any major mechanical changes already happened since the 3.5 was redesigned this year and they went from the 6 speed to the 10 speed. quote:A guy just around the block here got a grey raptor and it really is an amazing vehicle. probably the most imposing vehicle you can get for that price, and with their insane resale value, you could probably drive it for 3 years nearly free if you fight hard enough to buy it close to sticker. Yeah resale is something I've considered heavily and that was what put me back in the Raptor camp a while ago but there's some other things to consider: 1. There's basically no such thing as a 52k Raptor right now. I don't think many dealerships would even let you order one because they have no trouble selling the 68k Raptors which = more profit. 2. There's no doubt that Raptors have (and will continue to have) above average resale but some of it is definitely the fact that they didn't make any for 2015 or 2016 which has propped up the values for the older ones. I expect those numbers will come down relatively hard as 2017s become more acquirable. I know the two used ones for sale locally have dropped their price 5-7k over the last few months. 3. Five year old cloth seat no option Raptors (the kind you could theoretically get for 52k now) aren't gonna sell for 45k. And a lot of asking prices just aren't realistic anyway. 4. The Raptor just isn't as good of a deal as it used to be. The as tested price of a 2012 Crew cab Raptor by MT was 54k but a similar truck (lux package plus graphics but nothing else) is now 64,500 and as is normally optioned for dealer lots is really 67k-70k. I haven't really made up my mind yet. Whatever I get isn't going to be a daily driver (at most it'll be a semi daily driver but mostly a weekend toy) and the plan would be to keep it forever so resale isn't a huge issue. You can't beat the indisputable badassedness of a Raptor. Also the better resale. Whatever I get will go offroad all the time but I doubt I'll be doing rear end out 70 mph runs down fire roads. More like 5 mph runs up crappy old mining roads, and in that regard a lifted regular 150 would be as good or better than the Raptor. This is also going to be the family luxo-barge. The thing that goes on road trips and gets used to cart people around when friends and family visit. Like I'd love to talk my gf into buying a 7 series for her next car but there's no way that will ever happen (because she's cheap as gently caress) so a 150 with some crazy luxo options will be my redneck 7 series plus can go offroad plus has a bed. And in that regard (the luxo options), a non Raptor can be better than a Raptor. I definitely drool over the leather in the Limited F-150.

Thoughts on Phoenix. The weather is delightful. I left sleet this morning at like 23 degrees. I was wearing shorts and a hoodie to the airport (no care). The freeway system is impressive. It's just beautiful ribbons of well maintained pavement all over. Not being a native I would get nowhere without the power of google maps. There are pockets of "oh drat that's busy" but it was pretty much always moving. Arizona drivers are very well mannered. They all queue up nicely and they prepare for their exits early. They appear to let people in where they need to be. No egregious speeding either (that I witnessed). They are vastly superior to Salt Lake drivers. I'm driving a brand new corolla. It had 81 miles on it. I think it has a CVT (with paddle shifters wat why) It does everything you want a car to do. Seats are reasonable and well adjustable. The tech is surprisingly good (active lane assist, say what?). Stereo is decent, hands free calling is good. Getting like 35-40mpg. It is everything you want out of a car. It is so incredibly dull. I have seen a Tesla model S that was

Funny, my gf lived in Phoenix for ~5 years and I'm not sure she'd be as complimentary about the transportation situation there. But more funny just an hour ago we were talking about moving to SLC (from Reno) due to a job opportunity so if you have any general insights on that I'd be interested. I did a six week field course out of Park City and we went through/by SLC quite a few times so I'm somewhat familiar with the temps (about the same in the summer, cooler in the winter) and inversions that are (expectedly) far shittier than Reno. Surprised to hear about active lane assist on a Corolla.
