New write-up: Responding to NIST’s 2025 password guidance (SP 800-63B-4)

Key takeaways:
• Length and screening beat complexity
• Stop forced resets unless compromised
• Allow paste, spaces, and Unicode
• Passwords are not phishing resistant. Use passkeys or FIDO2 for real protection.

Hyper 8 Video System _ 1.0 _ – A static site generator for video publishing
https://simonrepp.com/hyper8/

For screenshots, videos and written notes on everything that happened in these last releases, check out the rich release pages for 1.0 (https://simonrepp.com/hyper8/changes/1.0.0/) and its equally feature-packed predecessors at https://simonrepp.com/hyper8/changes/

These major developments in 2025 were made possible through a project grant from https://netidee.at, an open source funding programme by the austrian https://www.internetstiftung.at/ – thank you so much for supporting this work and enabling tools that benefit independent artists, communities and organisations worldwide!

I would also like to say a huge thank you to all of you out there already running your own Hyper 8 sites, testing, reporting, contributing, donating, giving feedback and being just all-out positive and supportive on this journey, it really means a lot to me and makes a big difference!

For this latest release, special shout-out to @branpos, @arnauld, @evilpeacock, @lminiero & @jpburstrom for helping out on these last meters!

1.0 is now out for all platforms and is accompanied by a new, video-augmented tutorial, completely overhauled documentation and more available packages than ever – Enjoy!
