@Rhodium103 @josh little-known fact: the "b" in "bcrypt" stands for Bechdel
@chrisjrn @Rhodium103 @josh There are far too few people in this intersection of knowledge that gets that!!
@chrisjrn @Rhodium103 @josh This is (a) amazing, and (b) incomprehensible to me. Can you explain it a bit for a pleb?
@clickhere @chrisjrn @Rhodium103 @josh Look up Bechdel test
@aesche @chrisjrn @Rhodium103 @josh Hah! Oh, I'm extremely familiar. It's the "bcrypt" I don't know about.
Ah, sorry! 😬🙂

@clickhere @aesche @chrisjrn @Rhodium103 @josh bcrypt is a cryptographic hash function used as a one-way mathematical operation to make password verification possible.

with the same "salt" (a randomly picked initialisation value, so you can't precalculate everything as an attacker) and the same number of iterations you always get the same result for the same password - and don't have to store the password in cleartext, possibly to be stolen/leaked.

I'll not spoil what the 'b' is for 😆

@count @aesche @chrisjrn @Rhodium103 @josh Aha, thank you!

(And that's okay - as we have now established, the 'b' stands for Bechdel. 🙂)

@clickhere
Bcrypt is the industry standard way to securely store passwords in databases so they're incomprehensible to humans.

Unfortunately, my original toot was false 🙃
@Rhodium103 @josh

@chrisjrn @Rhodium103 @josh Well, I choose not to accept that: your original toot stands.
@clickhere @josh you can have as many of your own facts as you like, as long as it doesn't harm anyone :D
@Rhodium103
Then there's the Trans-del test: Any fiction involving transgender characters must have them talk about something other than how their transition affects Will Ferrell.
@violet @Rhodium103 The trans-del test should be: a fiction that involves trans people but their transness is neither tragic nor their only defining trait. While we're at it, add: they speak about topics that are not related to being trans.
@Rhodium103 If I can't imagine your password as a lesbian, it's not strong enough 🤷‍♀️
@Rhodium103 11 from stranger things would be great but she's two characters. :(
@Rhodium103 oh no, I knew feminism would be the end of computers

Wow how funny! Did you figure out that yourself?

@Rhodium103

CI server reports that all tests are passing. I guess that means the Bechdel test, too. 

@Rhodium103 "Oh my god, Becky! Look at her butt!" passes the bechdel test.
@Rhodium103 now I feel like I need to rewatch “The Magicians” again. The only show with a guy who has a sex dream that passes the Bechdel test.
@Rhodium103 and a prime number known only to you
@Rhodium103 I propose « a Bechdel-Wallace-complete password » for $1,000

Character 1: "I say off with his head."
Character 2: "But I say off with his arms and legs."
Character 1 nods. "We can do yours first."
