I was recently in a cafe where you had to pay in order to use the internet. I kept trying popular passwords and got in for free... The password was admin.

What is this, 1997? They trying to bring back Internet cafes?

A screenshot of a Mastodon post? This place really is just like Reddit

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Just like the good old times

Crosspostion from Mastodon to lemmy would be cool

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's all ActivityPub under the hood, I've interacted with Lemmy posts from Mastodon before, so it's likely very possible, but needs something done on the Lemmy side

@heimchen
This is me answering directly from Mastodon, definitely possible

Yea, just so we don't need screenshots anymore

Every password should have more than 8 letters to be effective. Beef stew is not stroganoff.

administrator gang

I'm glad password is 8 letters.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Beef stew is not stroganoff would make a great password. Its long, has spaces and is easy to remember.

I think this is a deterrent for skaters and people jumping down the stairs. Like fixtures on the edges of park benches

You can see they just photoshopped out the railing on the side. Not even properly lol.

This is to stop stair thieves.

You'll never catch me, copper! runs off with several flights of stairs

"admin" encryted change to

U2FsdGVkX1+9801xIiwBEo+mwvPNjc6wcGUlvLI9Gow=

Which is a really nice password

Doesn't matter if someone just tries admin:admin.

Encryption only matters if you're trying to get a password list. But admin:admin is the first try everyone uses when attempting to get into a system they're not supposed to get into.

Maybe it's just to keep the obese out?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

As a member of the undertall society I find this offensive.

Well done.

He could install a firewall anytime

I thought you would only see shitty screenshots like this on Snapchat or so

I was about to joke that it's just to prevent people in wheelchairs. I need to get more sleep.

Is @dgar some sort of Fedi celebrity or something?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If you use hunter2 as a password, everyone will think you're joking.
