I can't help it. Existential comics just combine two wonderful things: comics and philosophy. http://existentialcomics.com/comic/277

BPAS are fighting the UK govt's plan to place a 2-child limit on welfare support, a plan that has been described this way: "If you were designing a policy to increase child poverty, it would be hard to do better than this."

BPAS are fighting this because they don't want anyone to be pushed into having an abortion they don't want out of the fear of becoming destitute.

Sometimes I forget that pro-choice campaigning is about ALL kinds of reproductive choice, and this has been a useful reminder for me today.

If your "pro-life" organisation isn't doing any work to get actual living children out of poverty, it's not pro-life, it's just anti-bodily-autonomy.

#TorProject is a way of using the internet through an ever-changing randomly-connected network of volunteers' computers. The Tor web browser is based on Firefox, but works through the Tor network.

Tor is slower and trickier to use than normal web browsing, but it provides a higher level of privacy as Tor's randomness makes it more difficult to track people online.

<< this is who all your failed sudos get reported to >>

Hey all, @Loa is asking for websites (on our behalf), for looking for places to rent in the UK

Any recommendations are welcome!

Yes, we're looking at moving soon™. No, we haven't talked about it publicly yet.

Boosts are welcome

all right, got to round up volunteers to rep the department at STEM night at a local elementary school.

and maybe round up a volunteer for helping this local government agency with a survey.

huzzah for running the department grad student volunteer org.

So, #Mailpile has a Discourse forum now: https://community.mailpile.is/

Thanks @gwmngilfen for all the help!

Being new, it's of course completely empty.

Suggestions on things I could/should post to make it less empty are welcome. Posts by other people are also welcome.

~=8 Character Passwords Are Dead=~

New benchmark from the Hashcat Team shows a 2080Ti GPU passing 100 Billion password guesses per second (NTLM hash).

This means that the entire keyspace, or every possible combination of:
- Upper
- Lower
- Number
- Symbol

...of an 8 character password can be guessed in:

~2.5 hours

(8x 2080Ti GPUs against NTLM Windows hash)
