    Hey that is neat, thank you for the finding, and I absolutely agree it is actually faster than ImageGlass, even if I have to say that the current version of IG is a lot faster than how it used to be. Indeed I too discarded it for a while because of the loading times, but now it seems only just slightly slower than JPEGView (which truth to be told is absolutely blazing fast) but not that much any more as it once had used to, we’re talking maybe 0.2-0.5s slower on my 3ghz 10 years old cpu, whereas the old slow version I remember used to take even 3-4 seconds to start

    Requiring a 10 character password with additional character conditions is going to turn a lot of possible new users OFF. It should be 6 characters, with no conditions.

    I gather that is not your case and I see what you mean if I think about my parents for instance, but objectively I can only think that a 6 characters password with no restrictions (e.g. 123456) might have been “okeish” and yet still object of jokes 20 years ago, but now it shouldn’t absolutely be passed as a norm anyway close to “adeguate”, users need to be correctly educated on their own security awareness in general, but also especially here because the it is very likely that the instance where the user account is registered to will not have any paid customer service around to solve their users issues with account security breaches because of their weak passwords.

    So regarding passwords for the casual as for the expert user once and for all the xkcd comics stripe on passwords:
    https://xkcd.com/936/

    and here is a couple of handy online and downloadable generators inspired from that comics stripe:
    https://xkpasswd.ethanify.me/
    https://xkpasswd.net/s/

    But also learn to use password managers! Which also come often with their own handy password generators btw. The gist of it is that you need to remember only one password for the manger, and in turn it is going to remember and service for you your credentials for all your accounts. .

    For instance for the average casual user Bitwarden should more than suffice, it is free, has a freely managed remote service, apps for mobile and extensions for the browsers, it is open source and has been audited: https://bitwarden.com/

    I perfectly know that is a an uphill process, I can see that with my parents, but I also like to think that maybe if something I tell them about how to manage their passwords is able to stick in their mind then one day it might save them from being robbed online for always using the same few charters password everywhere for every effing website.


  • Interesting doc piece, it is always nice to see some first hand insight into a deeply complicate and dangerous reality so close to our one, but I it is rather sad to witness it is again squadism vs squadrismo one more time, what to make them different one from the other rather than simply an arbitrary reason to go out, in an organized group, and find someone else, more often than not isolate and not organized at all, just for the sheer pleasure to beat the shit out of them?

    The arbitrary reason is the opposing of fascism, and I’m absolutely fine with that, but then if the nature of the reason is idealogical it should also follow that the fascist groups to fight should be solved with a tool ideologically pertinent, and not just by parroting the fascists beat squads from squadrismo.

    Edit: just some minor wording because eng is not my 1st lang
