  • I picked up Elden Ring over a year ago and had started it. It was really difficult going around the world and I felt like I wasn’t enjoying it as much as I could because of its difficulty. This was my first experience with a “Souls” game.

    I played a bit of Demon’s Souls over the holidays last year on ps3 because I had it on ps+ and was curious. I liked it and it helped me force myself to keep at it with some enemies, as it’s more linear.

    That gave me the push to try Elden Ring once more and it then “clicked” and I just kept at it and now I’m having way more fun. I’m going back everywhere because I know I skipped difficult bosses or parts of the game.

    I found out that I had skipped over a whole area and went to an even more difficult one, so I was getting a harder game than I should have. Upon going to the now easier map section (and with an upgraded character), I breezed through a huge section.

    If you haven’t heard of it, I recommend 😅


  • That would be because the pattern on the first password are correctly spelled words and the way passwords are cracked offline (when there’s a leak of data being sold somewhere) is that they use dictionary attacks.

    This means that a big file containing all known words, and can also include known used passwords from past leaks, is used to try a lot of combinations. A combination of good words that appear 1:1 in these word lists will score way lower in terms of difficulty for a computer to crack. A simple script can add spaces and periods (like your example) between words and they WOULD get your password. By adding only one random character that doesn’t fit a pattern (just like your second ‘t’), you basically force the cracker to try all possible combinations of all characters for the length of your password, which is WAY more difficult.

    TLDR: There are more combinations of aaaaaaa, aaaaaab, aaaaaac then there are of matching words together for the same length of password (one.one, one.two, one.three)














  • Well, your Guest Wi-Fi can either have access to the pihole server and have its benefits, or point them to a public DNS. You can’t block access to the dns server for your guest network and hope it works - because it’s blocked. Personally I’d give Guest Wi-Fi a public DNS, as you won’t have much fun when an app of your friend’s stop working and you have to fiddle and work it out.

    If you point the guest network’s dns to the gateway, that gateway needs to know what to do with those requests. Either it has a resolver locally or it mist forward it elsewhere.





  • I have seen the same behaviour in myself. Reddit was the only social media I used and when they pulled the plug on third-party apps, I took it as a goodbye.

    I see myself sometimes opening my phone to “do something” but I have almost no apps to waste time on. I’ve reused that time to do better things, which feels nice. I read a little more here and there, I learn stuff of wikipedia when I’m on my phone, or I get up and do something else. It’s been great for me, even though I’m kind of sad to see it go. Lemmy is a great community, though I’ll try not to start using it so much, just for my own sake and not on the fault of the platform itself.
