For the unfamiliar, "ㄨㄛˇㄉㄜ˙ㄇㄧˋㄇㄚˇ" is an example of "bopomofo" script, the phonetic system used to teach kids reading and pronunciation in Taiwan, and adapted to Chinese keyboard input (zhuyin). I learned it in the 1990s studying Mandarin in Taipei. It maps closely to pinyin romanization used in China (i.e., "ㄨㄛˇ" = "wo3" which is the sound in the Mandarin dialect for "我" and potentially other characters with the sam…
Bopomofo has nothing to do with Taiwan, specifically. It's a system introduced by the Republic of China, and tha continues to be used in the Republic of China (only Taiwan left these days). That's because the mainland switched to Pinyin in the 50s. That being said, Taiwan has now also officially switched to Pinyin so use may increase. Edit: Another interesting, and old, system to write Mandarin using the Arabic alpha…
For what it's worth, there is also a Sinitic language fairly close to Mandarin that's written in Cyrillic characters, Dungan (which, incidentally, sort of refutes the notion that one can only write Chinese languages with Chinese characters).

It's not cleartext if you're loading over HTTPS which is enforced on this site.
It's cleartext from the perspective of HIBP's server.

#224That follow-up tweet freaks me out. What does that have to do with anything, really. I think it's rather unprofessional and would prefer people not make self-congratulatory statements about their personal beliefs.
I think it’s okay for people to use their twitter accounts to say what is important to them.

#226Let this thread be a reminder for everyone to use a password manager.
As someone who speaks 4 languages, my passwords are always a combination of words from different languages together. I am wary of trusting a software with my password generation.

#227Of course this asshat used the popularity of hit Tweet to push his liberal agenda of being pro-mentally ill.
FFS...can't we just have plain ole' tech anymore? Does EVERY FUCKING THING HAVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF MOTHER FUCKING POLITICAL BULLSHIT SPIN ON IT!?!??

I didn't know the well-known part. Besides, I was assuming that this was only of the multiple, multiple keys. But, it's funny how popular it is, and that so many had a reason to memorize it.
Even if you've provided information which narrows your password down to ~5,000 possible values, you've effectively handed out your password to one of 5,000 internet strangers whom you will never meet in real life. Then consider that this is Hacker News, and how many of those 5,000 have both the skills and motivation to exploit the information you've provided. Never give out "hints" about your password. Not its conten…
Sure, many of us have the skills to exploit that information, but the motivation? This isn't Mos Eisley.

#229I once used a password which our IT department gave me and it was !'a;@,oq and at least for me it looked random enough. I had it as a root password on a server and I enabled password login for about 2 minutes because I wanted to resize some virtual hard drive or something and couldn't be logged in as a normal user and then switching with su to root because then the normal user would have open files on the file system…

I appreciate that you thought about your reader enough to alter the password initially for narrative strength. That's really clever.
