No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

If you write it on paper, include the same short word on the end of all your passwords that you don't write down. Password is Hunter2duck but you only write down Hunter2.
*Actually this might be a good idea for password managers too. Brb. **I wonder if hackers thought of this too. If so this could be easy to crack if they get past the password manager. Maybe inserting a letter into the password after the nth character would work better.
I write my passwords on paper in code, like my dad taught me to do.
However, just a personal anectdote, my uncle passed suddenly and he had written all his passwords (not in code) on a spreadsheet with each account, which he then printed. I promise you, this single piece of paper was one of the most helpful things I could've asked for in sorting out all of his assets. It was a genuine lifesaver. Now I often think that maybe I should be sharing my password with an S.O. or someone else close to me just to make their life easier if I were to die tomorrow.
See you can tell your family the "duck" part. Then anyone that steals the paper still can't do it.
And that's how your uncle Billy starts a new life in Mexico using your identity. A tale as old as time.
All I see is *******
I just see
*******duckThis is just a hack. If you use encryption to store passwords, that becomes just a nuisance.
Unfortunately I see headlines every now and then that whatever password manager was compromised.
I mean... Can't happen if you keep your stuff encrypted like with KeePassXC. Even if someone gets my password database, it's useless for them since they don't know how to decrypt it. That's why I don't use some online service, though using one of the online services is certainly better than reusing a weak remembered password.
Yep. Theoretically a vulnerability could be found (or manufactured) for KeePass, but it's much less likely than an online service, and it's extremely common and open source, so if there are issues then there's a fairly good chance it'll be noticed.
Hopefully passwords are encrypted so the hackers get useless data
