Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend.Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
I wasn’t and that’s actually what finally motivated me to quit. I had just started a job where nobody else smoked and I didn’t want to stink up the cramped office every time I walked in the door. As of this summer it’s been 13 years.
And you think that’s enough?

The current thinking as I understand it is expiry policies make most types of accounts less secure because users just cycle through the same predictable pattern of adding increasing numbers of exclamation points or incrementing the last digit at each required password change, and if you require new passwords to be too substantially dissimilar from x number of previous ones then users can’t remember them at all. Policies that make people use minimally complex passwords because they have too many to remember and don’t understand how password managers work inevitably increase password reuse between services and devices which does the opposite of improving security. Especially with MFA enforced, which I’ve been known to do as aggressively as I can get away with, there’s just no sense in requiring regular password resets – as long as the password remains complex, unique, and uncompromised. I’m not a network security expert but I am responsible for managing these sorts of things in my role and that’s the rationale I use for the group policies in a typical customer’s environment.
Finally, an image nobody has seen.

This must have been from an outtake reel because teenage me definitely would have remembered seeing this on TV at the time.

Understandable. What’s the most recent one that you’re willing to share?

I’m not sure whether I should be aroused or afraid.

This image makes me want to go buy a bottle of Elmer’s glue and spread it all over my palm so I can peel it off.
I’m gonna need more to go on than just a file name. Got a (magnet) link to that image?
I pasted this into a Word document and my laptop burst into flames.
Why you like GNULinux so much?

At band camp
People have speculated that the culprit could have been a binary asteroid along with the Chicxulub impactor. Even if that wasn’t the case, it’s estimated that similarly-sized (~450 m) impacts occur every 50,000-100,000 years. That would mean there could have been many hundreds of such impacts in the 66 million years since Chicxulub, so not nearly as unlikely of a coincidence as it seems from reading the article – especially considering the million-year margin of uncertainty in dating this smaller crater.
