What is the /g/ consensus on password managers? How much safer are they to use than using a handful of "smart" passwords for everything?
14 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>107690654
Using a password manager will not save you if computer is compromised
It centralized all the data in a here:thing type way, if PC owned = fucked
Goal is to be "what a clusterfuck, fuck this" for anyone who does get into the system

There is no better solution to passwords than either doing what i said or doing diceware and keeping it on pen and paper. For crypto specifically, I recommend a trezor that stays disconnectsd from any networked computer.
>>
Option 1:
>write down the passwords (safe against digital attacks)
>leave a part of the password away (if your passwords get stolen, you have time to change them)

Option 2:
>Use Keepass (locally stored password manager, allowing you to make very diverse passwords)
>use a keyfile in addition to your password (so it's harder to steal by keyloggers)
>>
>>107690809
>Option 1
So I would make the password something like B00B13S
Then leave out the prefix B1G
>>
>>107690317
the fact that this thread even exists here proves that no one on /g/ knows a single thing about cyber security

>>107690358

Devs by own admission dont know how to use pgp anymore. They also go against the grain of the Tor Project and include ublock origin in TBB when that is stupidly fucking retarded

It isn't compromised in the sense its ran by feds, its compromised in the sense its ran by morons who unironically have no background or experience or respect for what tails is supposed to be or who the target audiance is fof a real, secure, system, they even go out of their way to make fun of the so called "privacy enthusiast", while trying at the same time trying to cite that the main usage of Tor is by domestic violence victims, like some 20 year old woman is going to boot up tails to avoid the network stalking on her boyfriend's wifi network. Just asininely insane stupid motherfuckers. The document on their wiki is called personas. It's stupid. The privacy enthusiast autist is the one who has no life but yet has the time to devot to making the product good, don't alienate him/her, and further, dont alienate anyone from Tor.

I second the suggestion to use whonix, also of note is QubesOS, as well as Knoppix, perhaps also you might find a virtual machine to fit your threat model.

I might start a fork of tails, but nobody wants to trust the new guy. But honestly this might have just pissed me off enough. I'll start rebase at the last point PGP keys were on the site, cherry pick up to master, remove ublock origin, match TBB to stock tor browser exactly by default, with heavy encouragment to set javascript.enabled to false, maybe add toggle to disable WASM, maybe add option to disable SVG, harden the network stack, ship a hardened genkernel. Does /g/ like this idea?

Why is AI so hated?

>>107691072
because even though it has legitimate usefulness in specific niches, it is shoehorned into literally every single thing

It's mainly because of RAM prices going up and Microsoft shoving its shitty Copilot spybot everywhere in Windows 11. Exclude those two and most people are cool with it; AI art and translation are awesome for example. There's probably been more art produced in 2024-2025 than all years of human history combined.

why are so many programming "help" groups like this? like, somebody will specifically opt into helping people, and then get frustrated when they dont do exactly what they expect. it constantly feels like im testing everyone's patience whenever i ask for help and its even harder trying to just learn everything myself, especially considering all the weird semantic differences in both the language itself and guides.

like i can imagine a full script in my head but i wouldnt know how to translate it into the language im currently using. and on the offchance that i *do* get the help needed, usually its just "oh just use the blah function", so its not like i just Dont Know How To Code or anything i just dont know the shit thats specific to the engine, and its not like i can just look it up in a glossary or something because the words can be totally different from language to language, like how "object" in one language can be "entity" in another, and object in *that* language refers to an object in an array or something, so theres just a huge language gap that i cant really cross without the help of others, which sucks because working with others sucks
