Nobody said it makes it okay to do that, but that does thoroughly discredit this particular source, quite obviously

Until you lose access to your password manager, of course… which is bound to eventually happen, due to hardware or software issues or loss of the device if it’s local, or due to network issues, the provider discontinuing the service, or inevitable enshittification if it’s online.

It has never happened to me and is absolutely not bound to happen, especially if it's local and backed up...

I'd rather remember one REALLY secure password than 100+ bad ones.

Complexity is practically irrelevant when compared to length when it comes to passwords. That’s the point of passphrases.

are you trolling me? I can have 20,000 character long passwords with a password manager. Length is just an aspect of complexity...

You can have a small number of passphrases and simply choose one and add a word or two based on the site. It’s trivial to “remember” an infinite number of unique passphrases if you’ve got an algorithm. 🤷‍♂️

...that makes it significantly less secure and almost defeats the purpose of unique passwords, I could have 20,000 character completely unique passwords with a password manager.

A remarkable paper has just come out on this topic.

That's not true either unfortunately

Why would my butcher recommend me a butcher in the first place?

I moved from tusky to moshidon, as for a server just pick one, I use mas.to

Pretty much everything important is mirrored somewhere

I highly recommend avoiding manjaro like the plague, their team is incredibly incompetent (see: https://manjarno.pages.dev/ ), I say this as someone who has given people manjaro for years and regretted it, I was also their it person, manjaro regularly broke every few months and gave people a very bad taste of linux

for example, why are kernels given version numbers in packages? This caused 3 separate peoples computers to break multiple times. Everything good about manjaro comes from arch, everything bad about manjaro comes from the manjaro team.

Y’know how it’s not rolling release because they delay packages by 2 weeks? They actually do no testing in this time. How do I know this? They pushed an update that caused steam to uninstall your desktop environment. Famously covered by linus tech tips… this is something that should have easily been caught, and yet the two week window did absolutely nothing.

the truth is for manjaro there is no real usecase, there’s no set of desires that align with manjaro being the best choice for you. I am not asking you to switch away from manjaro, but I do not think we should ever recommend it to anyone, and on your next machine, I recommend trying the arch installer.

But if what you’re looking for is an easy pre-setup arch, use endeavoros

If you want something simple and up to date, use fedora kinoite

If you’re a power user and want to configure every little thing about their system, use arch or nixos

If you don’t care at all about updates and want the most rock solid system possible, debian.

It has a number of benefits over a normal keyboard:

  1. No need for autocorrect since the buttons are so large that it's hard to accidentally press the wrong one
  2. It's symmetrical so both thumbs can type any letter, so you can type faster, in fact the world record typing speed on a phone was set on a one-handed version of this, i'm sure with the two-handed you can go even faster
  3. Pretty much everything I need can be hit without switching to another layout (no need for a symbols page)
  4. The other features of the keyboard are easily accessible, like, copy/paste/select all/undo/redo etc.

It's awesome, it's foss, and not a keylogger like most keyboards.

I don't choose to believe facts
