  • Forcing password changes too frequently is actually a security risk, as it encourages bad practices like re-use, iteration, keyboard walks and writing the passwords down.

    There are reasonable limits to impose on this, and educating users with demonstrations such as haveibeenpwned have been highly effective in my experience.














  • So there’s this neat thing in quantum mechanics where the state of something could change to a more stable state in what is known as false vacuum decay.

    Then it causes everything else of the same type to decay/collapse to the more stable state in a wave travelling in every direction at nearly the speed of light.

    Such an event could rewrite fundamental forces of the universe and… one day planes just stop working.

    Probably other bad stuff happens as well like our cells stop working and we all die.
