(Why yes, yes it is…) :awesome:
* Or, if you want to take all the fun out of it, a base256 encoding of your ed25519 private key that is purposefully impractical to write down somewhere or type in so you’ll be forced to practice good security hygiene and store it in your password manager.

Episode 351 – Is security or usability a law of the universe?
Josh and Kurt talk about end to end encrypted messages. This has been a popular topic lately due to the Mastodon popularity. Mastodon has a uniquely insecure messaging system, but they aren’t…Open Source Security
Getting an #SSL #certificate from #LetsEncrypt (or possibly anywhere) results _immediate_ #attack's on the host. It seems bots constantly monitoring new certs.

Hive ransomware now encrypts Linux and FreeBSD systems
The Hive ransomware gang now also encrypts Linux and FreeBSD using new malware variants specifically developed to target these platforms.Sergiu Gatlan (BleepingComputer)

On the privacy of online login forms inputs
I'm surprised but not shocked by this result. It seems to me that many people are confused about why online login forms have two fields but only one of them hides the input.
On one hand, if all the credentials are meant to be private, why not add a third or a fourth input field with more private stuff? This would be more secure, right? On the other hand, if someone is using a weak password, what is the likelihood their login is easily guessable as well?
I personally believe online login forms have two fields for two different kind of data: an identifier that shouldn't be considered private, because the password/phrase field is already there for that specific purpose. As a result, I fully support letting users fill the login field with as many different identifiers they can have, including email addresses and public usernames, because it is massively more convenient without compromising on security since there is a password.
