My new name doesn't have a middle name yet, so I'm accepting suggestions on what I could adopt that'd break as many systems as possible.
Obvious answers:
* null
* an emoji
* U+FFFD ļæ½
* half of a unicode surrogate pair
* EICAR
* some kind of prompt injection
* the entirety of DOOM, base64 encoded
* an illegal prime
* the source to decss
* 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0
@foone I chose null (i.e., to delete my middle name)
This has broken many systems and call center operator brains
If you wanted to make a choice that broke the maximal number of systems that wasnāt just blank, choose a name with at least three space delimited tokens and which is possible to say over the phone. e.g., Alice Correct Horse Battery Staple Averlong. You will then see what badly designed systems decide to split on what word for the last name.
@9pfs @foone I already have two credit scores (as if Iām two people) and the associated chaos this creates. I wouldnāt recommend it unless you are fond of escalations departments.
And if you are, might I suggest a different kink? Thereās a German magnetic lock manufacturer you could be interested inā¦š
I wouldnāt change what I did though. Just maybe I should have prepared myself mentally a bit more.
