Absolutely nothing. I've had my personal site reach the top a couple of times and its been totally fine each time. My site is static and runs on a $5 Digital Ocean droplet. The traffic barely even made it blink.

I'm the original author for this post, and there are a few things I've realised since writing it (despite the fact that it was only 2 days ago). The first is as allwein says below: Just because I made an assumption that source con

What would the alternative be? Allow anyone to request that an account is deleted? Facebook needs some form of verification due to the password being breached (and its great that they are checking for that sort of thing)

This thread is great. Whenever H-1B threads come up on HN, I prepare for the onslaught of what can only be described as hatred. It's the view of many people on this site that all H-1B holders are "cheaters" of the system, and

That's the case for the OS X version, but not for the Windows version.

One of the 1Password ones ( https://team-sik.org/sik-2016-040/ ) about leaking URLs is marked as fixed, however, that's a little misleading. It's fixed if you use their newer vault format, which has limitations

I'm really curious to know how this compares to the rest of HN. I'd expect this to be somewhere in the middle, varying depending on country. However, am I going way overboard on what I'm willing to pay for, or are there servi

I imagine it's to stop hoards of reporters from coming in and bugging them for as many details as possible.

One of the more concerning matters on this is that the BBC, for some reason, are choosing not to report on this at all. Gone are the days when the BBC were the most trusted and reputable news source. http://www.bbc.com/news&

The author quite rightly points out that most of the English speaking countries would treat people exactly the same way, however I find it a little odd that she wouldn't ever go back to the UK, but makes no mention of visiting these ot

Your credentials aren't stored in clear text. They are encrypted with a key only your device has.

The unfortunate problem with this is that while piping directly into bash can be exploited, it remains as one of the easiest ways to install programs. Taking RVM for example. Their instructions are to run this: `curl -sSL https:/&#x2F

When light interferes with itself it creates a "pattern". When the light beams are out of phase, the interference pattern is different. The gravitational waves basically minutely increase the distance that one of the beams travels

Convenience is great. It's part of why I use 1Password. There is a limit though to convenience. It's not convenient for me if my data is out there. If you aren't willing to automatically push this to users, at least give the

That's absolutely not the case. My issue is that AgileBits need to push the new format over the old one. The old one is still the default. Most users, my self included, have no idea that the old format is insecure, or that a new format

No, the problem is that they have a new format but the OLD one is the default. It's incredibly difficult to use OPVault as your keychain format if you aren't on Windows. Even if you are on Windows, you still need to change it eve

by Velox 11y ago
That's the hope with the noise. Agile keychain is old and shouldn't be used. I just want them to use OPVault by default and tell users the risks they take with Agile keychain.

Perhaps I wasn't clear in the article. This is an entirely optional feature. If you don't want to store 1Password in Dropbox you don't have to, and you certainly don't need to have it in your public folder (I'm not

Metadata gives information about other data. The length of your password would be metadata rather than data. I'm pretty sure no one really wants that out in public?

I'm not surprised I butchered it. I'm not a writer by any means. If you look at the few other things I've written, the writing there is just as terrible. Practice makes perfect though I guess.

by Velox 11y ago
Correct. The passwords are not breached in any way. It's the metadata that is the leak, and that alone can be enough to compromise accounts.
