(sticking with the obliviousness for a moment,) Would they need to store the plaintext password? Hashing every word typed isn't efficient but it's possible to achieve without knowing the plaintext. It reminds me of Facebook allowing login even when you've mistyped your password: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/214814/why-can-...
> Hashing every word typed Wouldn’t work if your password contains spaces.
But it does! They, instead, hash each letter independently, that's how they can do this.

Even if it's a static HTML, you need to patch your webserver, OS, and migrate the whole stack to newer versions. This is why I'm scaling down my home infrastructure to SBCs and run everything on Debian with stock package repositories. It reduces tons of burden to something very manageable.
"Even if it's just static text, you need to patch your OS, update your text editor and migrate the whole document to newer versions." Nah. That's bull. A static site can be put on a web server and the site never needs to be updated again. I have web sites people started hosting on my servers in the '90s that are still there, still serving, and haven't been touched in twenty years. Sure, I update the servers and softw…

I think this is what I said? Quoting myself:

I don't think I said "you need to update/patch the webpage itself".
Huh. The password masking algorithm changes some words possibly.

#204Most recently, I was using bash.org as my go-to non-HTTPS site for captive portal purposes (back when HTTPS Everywhere was a useful extensions). But the built-into-Firefox HTTPS only treatment handles captive portals gracefully already, so I didn't actually visit in a while.
Goodbye!

Someone has to run the server. That's the point.
For $100+/mo you can easily have someone manage that.

What does age have to do with it? "Turn that frown upside down" isn't a phrase that would make much sense to people who didn't hear it before. More so if English isn't their first language or they are neurodivergent. I don't believe I have ever heard this phrase used IRL. It's not a very nice thing to say in most contexts (saying this to another adult is outright bad - which is what makes the IRC joke funny in the fi…

#208I'd be happy to host the site in perpetuity on one of our dedicated hosts (for free). Have hosted the sites for a number of notable open source communities for decades.

I use http://alwayshttp.com for this.

#210What a shame. IRC is one of the few protocols left of the early Internet that hasn't been aggressively commercialized and colonized by corporate interests, and this is just another nail in the coffin. Often times I wonder why basically _everything_ must be on the Web, and if all that historical baggage and complexity is really necessary, or even worth it at all.
not for the want of trying, (see freenode)
