I'm not seeing a lot about this elsewhere. This is serious stuff. A carcinogen across the board. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/release-of-toxic-chemicals-from-train-derailment-in-ohio-prompts-broader-safety-concerns
Release of toxic chemicals from train derailment in Ohio prompts broader safety concerns

In eastern Ohio, residents have been on edge for over a week following an explosive train derailment and a toxic chemical leak. Evacuation orders have been lifted and the all-clear has been given in East Palestine, a small community of about 5,000 on the Pennsylvania border, but that’s done little to calm anxieties. Geoff Bennett discussed the toxic crash with Ohio Governor Mike DeWine.

Regarding #LastPass Alternativies: Oh great, #RoboForm uses PBKDF2 SHA256 as well... with 4096 iterations (still the default) and not HMAC apparently... crap! It IS configurable on the number of iterations (ticket screenshot attached is from Version 8, they are on Version 9 now, according to their website, looks like they are in the same boat). DEFINITELY time to update the number of iterations! (originally posted Dec 22, 2022, 20:22, had wrong privacy settings, third time's the charm...)
Feels good man. :) 2nd longest job ever (and before you judge me, a lot of my professional career has been consulting and contracting). Quick poll: Do jobs still do this anymore? To what level if they do? (sorry if some of your timelines are a little spammed, I'm fixing some old privacy settings, which requires delete/repost)
It is done... 15ish days and counting...
