  • I recently went through most of my accounts and randomized the username, with the thought here being to limit the likelihood of one site being compromised leading to accounts at other sites being compromised. I don’t have to remember them due to using a password manager, so it’s really no skin off my nose.

    I’ll use this as a reminder to everyone to improve your security. Some ideas:

    use a password manager and use random usernames and passwords
    have multiple email accounts, and don’t use your “main” email w/ random signups - I use a simple mnemonic, like “<user>-<purpose>@domain.com”; so “me-shopping@domain.com” or “me-games@domain.com” so it’s easy for me to remember, but unlikely for a lazy hacker to pwn other accounts (a lot of these are automated); my real email is “me@different-domain.com”
    use 2FA if offered, even if it’s stupid SMS or email based; having any extra step can deter an attacker
    

    Sucks that people are targeting IA, I hope there isn’t any lasting damage and that this is a simple defacement/DOS.

    thanks for the advices ! Would you recommend a particular password manager?










  • The box you are talking about refers in the form to caustics which designates in optics and mathematics the envelope of light rays undergoing reflection or refraction on a surface or a curve. it is clearly visible above swimming pools in particular. In substance while touching the light it figuratively refers to a kind of ether. Aether, in physics, was a hypothesis that space was filled with an invisible, immaterial substance called “luminiferous aether”. Before the 20th century, scientists believed that light, like sound, had a kissin’ of an environment to propagate. They propagate through the air, where the expected light is thought to propagate through the ether. The only conceptual link is the central vertical part, it represents Feynman’s double slit experiment which illustrates the wave and particle nature of light and subatomic particles. Everything does not necessarily have a link, it is above all a graphic composition although it is partly composed of scientific elements.
