What the hell is Club Penguin?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

Habbo hotel for the little, little ones I think?

I guess you were born in the 2000s.....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Hey, I was born in the early 2000s and Club Penguin was huge when I was a kid! Everyone my age knows about it.

I was born in the late 1980s, can I know what it is?

Edit: Looks like a game. Are we assuming everyone in a technology community cares about video games? I’m a programmer but can’t get into video games at all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

I'm also a developer, online 24/7 since 1995 and have no idea.

Aren't you assuming everyone else can't care about video games because you don't?

Why does being a programmer matter? You're not implying that technology groups should care about programming I hope.

I’m explaining why I’m a programmer for some context why I’m interested in technology, not to argue that all programmers hate gaming.

I was replying against the smug “you must’ve been born in the 2000s” comment. I’m arguing that not everyone is into gaming just because this is a technology community, and to maybe drop the attitude because someone isn’t cOoL like them because they were born earlier. 🙄

bcrypt... with how many iterations? seems like an important detail

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t think I’d make that information public were I in their shoes. Wouldn’t that be a hint for anyone attempting to crack them?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

no, it’s (usually) stored as a part of the hash

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

So what password hashing mechanism upgrades they implemented?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

obligatory bcrypt is not encryption

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Correct but you also dont want an encrypted password. You want a hashed password.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

this is true, and the name bcrypt can be misleading to non experts. i don’t blame them for getting this wrong in a pr statement 🤷‍♀️

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Encrypted is also the word to make people feel safer.
