(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.

They just hash every substring that can be a password.

Don't write long comments. Show some love to HN's server carrying its O(n^2) burden.

I love each and every one of you who have posted into this subtree, although it's bittersweet if bash.org really is going away… https://archive.is/0y1yT is the archive of http://www.bash.org/?244321

FIY, your archive link is not working too at the moment. What do we do? Sigh I put on my robe and wizard hat https://web.archive.org/web/20190228221758/http://www.bash.o...

Works for me. Do note that archive.is blocks CloudFlare DNS.

Oh yeah because burdening children with the challenges of… using slightly different words… is a real shame.

Are you saying censorship is fine because people can just use other words? There really is no point engaging with you then.

You call it censorship, I call it freedom of association. These are private organizations deciding what they allow on their own platforms.

But more importantly the “kind of humor” your originally highlighted is absolutely alive, as evidenced by your own point that people use words to get around whatever censorship there is of the most extreme versions of that humor.

I just had an argument over IRC with a stranger on the internet last week. We're still out there. I thought the humor on this site hadn't aged well, but this one got me: :( Turn that frown upside down! ):

I remember a similar quote that was something like: :b how did you make that backwards d?

There's also,

"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…

> Sure, I update the servers and software, but the actual amount of work needed for the site is, quite literally, zero. I think this is what I said? Quoting myself: > Even if it's a static HTML, you need to patch your webserver, OS, and migrate the whole stack to newer versions. I don't think I said "you need to update/patch the webpage itself". Huh. The password masking algorithm changes some words possibly.

I was making the point that the web server can just keep getting updated by virtue of being part of an active server. Separately, the site doesn't need any updating / maintenance.

The same person or people who run the servers aren't necessarily the same person or people who make the web sites.

People can just as easily have static sites on SDF.org. There'd be no reason for anyone to fret about whether the servers are up to date.

Also, nobody ever needs to "migrate the whole stack to newer versions". That's just not a thing with a static site.

What 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.

I was able to have literally months of logs from a dozen servers streamed to a single app running with 1/256th the memory I have in the laptop I'm writing on, and it was both more responsive and had more features. And you didn't need to deal with anyone's custom emoticons or gif spam. That is a serious loss from my perspective. Hell, just today I was trying to figure out how to use native emoji in Discord. Turns out,…

You actually can, you have to preface your emoji with a backslash.
