I'm curious to know how strong people make their passwords these days. What's typical for you? I'll go first. For important things, it's 20+ characters and if that's not possible, then the maximum supported length. This includes passwords that I memorize. For just the standard accounts, usually 12 characters. But I'm probably going to crank that up just for funsies. It's just annoying to type in 32 characters of complete line noise in those rare circumstances where I have to do so for some reasons. #cybersecurity #security #infosec

I just wrote an ansible role to install and configure LNbits with just a single command. It hasn't been through code review yet, but it worked on my test environment. You can use the nginx.nginx, geerlingguy.certbot, and nginx.nginx_config roles to get TLS certs from LetsEncrypt. I've tested that as well.

Just bought a couple hundred bucks worth of stuff over Tor. Had to get a new identity once near the end, but it otherwise worked fine. I'm doing my part to show businesses and they should not block #Tor users from doing business with them. Amazon already knows this, but I've been trying to buy direct from vendors rather than going through a marketplace. The only way this could have been more #cyberpunk is if I could pay in #bitcoin instead of Mastercard. One step at a time, right? #privacy

Matthew Green provides sober look at the #e2ee situation in the #UK with regards to #Apple's #iCloud. I don't like Apple, but this seemed like a fair piece to me. I have to wonder how Apple knows which users are in the UK. IP address? Time zone settings? Whatever address they typed into their iCloud profile? It seems like some people may suddenly move out of the UK and suddenly start using a VPN all the time.

I'm too much of a #hippie to even #recycle this case that has a blemish on it. It will now be the case for my personal #Signet so it doesn't go to #waste. image Fortunately, the next print came out just fine. #3DPrinting #electronics #security #cybersecurity #privacy
