  • I was incorrect about the goal being minimal resources. I should have written that that goal was to have controlled resource usage. The salt does not increase the expense of the the hash function. Key stretching techniques like adding rounds increase the expense to reach the final hash output but does not increase the expense of the hash function. High password length allowances of several thousand characters should not lead to a denial of service attack but they don't materially increase security after a certain length either.

  • I was incorrect but I still disagree with you. The hashing function is not designed to be resource intensive but to have a controlled cost. Key stretching by adding rounds repeats the controlled cost to make computing the final hash more expensive but the message length passed to the function isn't really an issue. After the first round it doesn't matter if the message length was 10, 128, or 1024 bytes because each round after is only getting exactly the number of bytes the one way hash outputs.

  • For my own projects I buy whatever Supermirco platform the data center manager has a volume discount for or I find used Dell equipment from third party sellers or ebay.

    At work we rent by the month based on needs and availability. I never know the brand, just the specs. Lately AMD based servers have been more competitive.

  • I'm not 100% but they will replace the phone if damaged. I'm not sure about if it is lost. There is probably a cut off where giving out phones is considered worse than having social workers enter data for certain people. There is housing assistance which would include electricity. I suppose you could charge at city service points? The cell phone plan includes Internet access.

  • I added some lettuce, kale, mustard, upped to 3 cans of sardines and a few handfuls of nuts a day. Felt awesome. Woke up early and wanted to work out. Slept an hour less and felt more rested. Lots of extra free time with no cooking or eating out. I kept eating pretty similar until my next doctors' appointment. My blood work came back perfect except I was low on sodium. Weird?

    This weekend I visited some friends and they offered me an ordinary 5% beer. I felt drunk after half the can and didn't even want to finish it. Not normal for me at all.

    TL;DR: I got superpowers but alcohol is Kryptonite now.

  • Firefox blocks a bunch of tracking by default. Chrome requires the user to take action to prevent that tracking. I also recall Chrome leaking hardware UUIDs some years back when Chromium did not meaning Google added code to cause that. I think that has been fixed for awhile since I don't immediately find info about it.

  • Does anyone disagree with this? My city gives out smartphones to people who can't afford them because it's cheapest way they can get access to city services. Much more efficient then having staff in an office to enter data and make calls on their behalf.
