And in the process fucked up how Germans say numbers for centuries.

Sounds interesting. Do you know where I can read more about that?
When I try searching for Luthers influence on numbers, I just get data about Luther (year of birth, age at death, etc.).

OpenSuse Slowroll (rolling release with constant updates plus an update burst every two months)

  • Prefer rolling release over fixed release.
  • I do like OpenSuse in general.
  • I install a lot of packages and want to stay up to date (security & GUI notifications). With OpenSuse Tumbleweed I have to install a couple gigabytes of updates every week. It's not ideal for me.
  • Too impatient to wait for the proper release of Slowroll.

The security of a fully random password depends on the number of available symbols (alphabet) and the length.
The strength of the password is simply symbolcount^length.

For a conventional password the symbols/alphabet are characters, numbers and special characters.
For a mnemonic the symbols are simply full words and the "alphabet" is a list with a couple thousand words.

Mnemonic passwords are secure because of their large alphabet, and easy to remember because of the lower length (in symbols) and because human brains are good at coming up with associations (usually stories) for random words.
If you want to generate your own mnemonic password you can try diceware.
With diceware you roll a few dice to select random words from a list.

"This release includes major improvements to performance, specifically optimizations of database queries. Special thanks to @phiresky, @ruud, @sunaurus and many others for investigating these."

Hehe, lemmy.world doing some stress testing for the entire lemmy project.

There is value in real people selecting what to post on a link aggregator like lemmy/reddit/... .
I don't want to loose that human feeling, both in posts and comments.
Of course the voting mechanism can do a lot of the heavy lifting, but having a flood of robot posts with a score of one might have a negative effect on good posts getting discovered.

Hopefully the community will grow naturally to a point where it can satisfy my doom-scrolling addiction.
