The history of one of the most famous Windows password cracker.
Some people think Mastodon is too weird to become popular:
I joined Twitter in 2008. We had to put a "d" in front of a tweet to convert it to a direct message and every other day you had some embarrassing private moments exposed because someone forgot about the “d”. Hashtags were just a community hack, introduced by Chris Messina to somehow tag content. Search? Hah, you wish! Tweets via SMS were supposed to be a thing. Oh, and the daily meet and greet with the failwhale. Totally not weird.
Wondering how sustainable is to keep your servers federated to big servers like mastodon.social
I have started to see people I'd rather not see, so I thought that would be a good reason to have my own instance and block whichever instance they're coming from, but what if they're coming from one of the big ones?
I am considering it may even be positive to not federate that much. Just block all by default and cherrypick who you federate with.
