Five more fast radio bursts from other galaxies have shown up and one of them is a double.

Not much information, but interesting.

The school is having a Thanksgiving dinner for the teachers, Peking duck. We don't tend to get much turkey around these parts.

Happy Thanksgiving...

It's Beijing(Peking) duck, and not turkey(火鸡肉 literally "fire chicken meat").

It's not spicy at all actually, it's quite a dry taste on it's own, and crispy, that's why have the sweet bean sauce and and spring onions to go with it, rolled in the pancakes.

I have several password-management programs on computer and phone: LastPass, Pocket, and mSecure...

I just had a random thought, as this is the thread for it - but do these password management programs store all the passwords on a central server, so you can sync up all your devices? And how about *that* server as a target ripe for hacking. Hope they have rock solid security there

 

[psionandy]

Last pass only stores a binary blob on its servers... so even lastpass was hacked, they wouldn't be able to do anything useful with it.

Which they were.

While they only store encrypted passwords on their servers; with enough work, a bad guy can still get useful information out of them.

And that's why one should change the master passwords on your PW management programs frequently.

As far as I know, they haven't figured a way to hack a Post-it note yet.

Can't tell you how many times I've been able to access a system because the passwords were posted on or near the machine.
