At what point do we start to discuss how evil the Russian regime is? I mean, this is feeling like we are approaching the lines in the sand that we drew after WWII, if we haven’t already blown past them.
I have no desire to lose more lives, but this is evil. How can any country support Russia in this?
FWIW: these types of password rules are discouraged by NIST -
- Eliminate Periodic Resets
Many companies ask their users to reset their passwords every few months, thinking that any unauthorized person who obtained a user’s password will soon be locked out. However, frequent password changes can actually make security worse.
It’s difficult enough to remember one good password a year. And since users often have numerous passwords to remember already, they often resort to changing their passwords in predictable patterns, such as adding a single character to the end of their last password or replacing a letter with a symbol that looks like it (such as $ instead of S).
So if an attacker already knows a user’s previous password, it won’t be difficult to crack the new one. The NIST guidelines state that periodic password-change requirements should be removed for this reason.
“The West” is essentially the group of nations attempting to abide by a moral code. It is not always, or maybe even often, successful, but there is a vast gulf between their morality-based approach and what China, Russia, DPRK, and other fascist/semi-fascist nations are doing.

Sorry, but this is such fatalistic bs.
So much has changed.
I remember acid rain.
I remember leaded gas.
I remember 12mpg cars.
I remember the photos of terrible brown smog floating over Los Angeles.
I remember before anyone had a recycling bin.
I remember…
The list goes on. And I’m only a handful of decades old.
Can we do more? Yes.
Should we do more? Absolutely.
Are more people aware of that than ever before? Yes.
Humans have technologied their way out of so much shit, I am not ready to give up on us yet.

If I could finally ditch my windows gaming rig I would be a happy man.
