I hope you didn't make their actual basic phrase public.
In my opinion any password that's designed to be human-friendly isn't secure. Every crutch one uses to remember it, a machine can make much faster use of.
In this case I'd say the core idea: "SWydThIThBaPl!" is relatively safe, but 690720 is almost immediately recognizable as a date - to a machine! - and amng, leum etc. are even easier assuming the cracking program has knowledge of which site they're trying to gain access to.
So the only good part is the one that repeats for every password.
I think the top half of this xkcd illustrates some of it; but iirc the bottom half has been sort-of half debunked.
In any case, I use only very long and completely random passwords for online accounts.
Does this person think password managers are crutches? You cannot out-remember a machine.
PS: entropy is not the only measure for password safety.
Worst thing, the world is getting used to this. Soon (some) people will think that's just how politics works. Partial imitations are popping up everywhere.
Yes, I already don't feel sorry for him. I'm 100% sure his actual mental and physical health - his most guarded secret - is very much worse than what he likes to broadcast. I mean listen to him talk, look at him move. Fear must be settling in at the back of his mind. There isn't many people on this world I wouldn't feel any compassion for, but he is one of them. He has consciously chosen to be the asshole too many times and on too grand a scale.
Yep. Certain patterns are easily recognizable even by machines. One could have a relatively simple "IHeartRadio algorithm" that should work 99% of the time (esp. with Ed Zitron who brackets the blocks with that insane guitar riff).
Hell, I could even write that with ffmpeg and a shell script.
Try to strip it of all its baggage (it's almost impossible) and the word very neutrally describes its function but conveys nothing of the horrors. Same with "remigration".
But there’s a lot of podcasts, especially from sources like IHeartRadio, that have scads of annoying ads
And they're so repetitive. And each block is the same length if I'm not mistaken. This could even be automated - not relying on human input - or at least half-automated.
I was thinking about this; probably true for the origin, but I'm sure it can be mitigated or at least minimized and maybe avoided completely for the cloning side?
Your workflow is actually something I thought of but the duplication of all lossy files would be a bit too much and replacing them with symlinks would not work with git afaik.
Please just read the whole article. It's an easy read for the first half, and well researched. Proper journalism. And relevant not only for Canada.
Thousands of councillors in more than 500 municipalities have received these emails, according to KICLEI, the group behind them, whose name mimics the international environmental network ICLEI. Screenshots of KICLEI’s internal database show the email addresses of local officials nationwide.
Sounds like they're proudly doing it out in the open.
And on:
(...) the digital infrastructure behind KICLEI’s campaign: a custom AI chatbot designed to express fears about United Nations control using moderate, civic language — messaging that is now shaping real decisions in town halls across Canada.
At least 14 municipal halls have received KICLEI presentations, with Thorold, Ont., already voting to withdraw from Canada’s flagship municipal net-zero scheme, Partners for Climate Protection. This month, Lethbridge, Alberta, voted to cut its governmental emissions reduction target in half. These decisions followed receipt by the town councillors of letters, presentations and reports from KICLEI members.
And on:
KICLEI (‘Kicking International Council out of Local Environmental Initiatives’) was founded in 2023 by Freedom Convoy activist Maggie Hope Braun
Why am I not surprised. And please don't call these people activists. That's just the skin they're putting on. They're grifters.

Brute force comes way down the list.
