ntlm.pw update: more hashes and more algorithms! I *know* you're all changing your password to Winter2025!, so I've added 16 million new passwords to welcome the new year :-)

All passwords containing something that looks like a year 2000-2024 was updated for 2025 - and there was a lot of them.

NTLM.PW - Hash to password lookup

Instantly look up NTLM hashes and resolve them to plaintext passwords using our database with 8B+ entries.

Liquor store clerk: I’m gonna need to see some age verification

Me: Prior to V.90 there were two incompatible standards for 56K modems. USRobotics pushed their own “X2”, while Lucent and Rockwell pushed the confusingly named “KFlex”

Liquor store clerk: enjoy your purchase.

My 10" homelab rack is coming along nicely. Two laser engraved acrylic sheets with cool stuff from @dustrial.net running 74 addressable LEDs each. Wife claims this does not look great in the living room?

Windows 10 support ends Oct 14. Reminder: Linux is still here to keep your old PCs alive. I even game on Linux these days, no need to toss good hardware just because MS dropped support. #Windows10 #Linux #GamingOnLinux #Windows11

It cannot be that Russia “accidently” violates three times in two weeks European air space.
Russia is testing European borders and probing our resolve.
It will continue to provoke as long as we allow it.

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t.

We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

I grew up on shock sites as looping video became economical to host, as well as LiveLeak and GWOT novelty. I recognize I probably have stunted emotional reaction to violent/gore content.

But I avoid it because I very much believe it is cognitively harmful long-term. It is not awareness. It is porn.

Adalanche searches works way better now - it uses BFS rather than DFS which gave unnecessary long paths at times. This is available in the latest commit on GitHub.

There might be bugs with the new search - let me know if you see any strangeness. Happy hunting :-)

I know I'm slow, but it has taken me ages to realize that a part of the fascination with Severance is the similarity to The Backrooms. The lit hallways just automatically makes you wonder - where are we, and what's around the corner? Brilliantly played.

In the Danish alphabet the letter Å represents AA, which would make GTA 6 an "ÅÅA" game here. Good luck pronouncing that if you're not Nordic.

"I'd argue that Grand Theft Auto is potentially the AAAAA game, it's just bigger than anything else both in the scope and scale of the game and the kind of cultural impact that it has and the attention it demands," said Nigel Lowrie, co-founder of Devolver Digital. https://bit.ly/3I6ARTn

this is the company in charge of custody for crypto assets held by the US government 🙂

Tweet by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong: ~40% of daily code written at Coinbase is AI-generated. I want to get it to >50% by October.

Obviously it needs to be reviewed and understood, and not all areas of the business can use AI-generated code. But we should be using it responsibly as much as we possibly can.
