  • Very similar heuristic here, insofar as when to use passphrases and how long.

    LUKS and Bitlocker volumes get 8 words, computer logins usually get 4 words (potentially more depending on frequency/criticality of system).

    Smartcards and mobile devices do have numeric pins due to frequency of use and relative difficulty in copying those for offline attacks.

    Websites that are filled in w/ password manager get passwords get the random symbol-laden strings that ‘meet requirements’



  • Obviously biased, but I’m really concerned this will lead to it becoming infeasible to self-host with working federation and result in further centralization of the network.

    Mastodon has a ton more users and I’m not aware of that having to resort to IRC-style federation whitelists.

    I’m wondering if this is just another instance of kbin/lemmy moderation tools being insufficient for the task and if that needs to be fixed before considering breaking federation for small/individual instances.
