Yeah you’re correct. The person you’re replying to is treating dictionary attacks as separate from brute forcing. Dictionary attacks are great on short passwords using likely words, but as soon as you use 2 or 3 or 4 words it becomes computationally unfeasible. I would say a completely random string of the same or much less length is more secure because a dictionary attack won’t work at all, but 3-4 word passphrases are excellent for passwords that you have to manually enter ever.

hangonasecond@lemmy.worldto ADHD@lemmy.world•What's your experience with open concept offices?English1·17 days agoI definitely have a different experience to other people here, so it’s not all bad. A lot of managers and employers are cottoning onto the fact that some aspects of neurodiversity are a strength in the workplace, and being supported through the challenges means you’ll have an easier time accessing those strengths.
hangonasecond@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go SEnglish3·18 days agoIt’s massive because of context. Massive is inherently a comparative term. Something can’t be large or significant unless something else is small. Here the context is performance gains (in comparison to other forms of PC gaming) constrained by 1) being on exactly the same hardware 2) a sizeable price difference between the two options.
Here the performance gains are 10+% for a device which costs more than 10% less. The size of the performance gains in the handheld market would otherwise need you to buy a new handheld, and those fps increases would demand spending at least a few hundred bucks on a new GPU.
So massive performance gains with the implied context is absolutely true.
Honestly? Take a solid chunk of the credit. An idea is only as good as the pitch when the person on the other side has to sift through x^2 applications.
That’s interesting that you thought split fiction was harder than it takes two. My partner and I thought the opposite, since split fiction seems to let you get away with skipping a lot of things when one of you is dying (i.e. checkpoint reached by one player counts for both of you). In saying that my other theory is my partner has actually gotten better at games since we played it takes two.

Nothing actually wrong in this instance.
hangonasecond@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?English2·2 months agoThat’s really unusual. I’ve found, if anything, most of my games run better since switching to Linux. Nothing runs so much worse and I have rarely needed to apply launch options. I wonder if your games aren’t running on your iGPU inadvertently? That’s the only thing that comes to mind that would cause that much of an issue.

I love itEnglish3·3 months agoYou’re a legend - been rocking default nvim for months on nix and had tried a couple of times to understand how to configure it but nothing stuck. Had somehow missed nixvim and got a colour scheme and a couple of plugins going before work this morning thanks to you.
Now to learn how plugins actually work!
