This could use a “scrubbing” control, where when scrolling by dragging vertically, the scrolling speed depends exponentially on the horizontal position. (Meaning, for example, dragging 10 screen units vertically when the pointer is at horizontal position x would scroll by 10^(x/10) entries.)

Want to find the actual UUIDs that are a dot com? https://www.merklemap.com/search?query=*-*-*-*-*.com&page=0 Well, some of them are :)

Does it index subdomains by certs issued? What about wildcard certs? Or sites that accept all possible subdomains?

> Scrolling through a list of UUIDs should be exciting! I wanna see bb166283-2e09-4b72-ba32-70a43521c70e, not 00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000!

This was my favorite bit and speaks a lot about the craft behind this page! v cool <3

The fact that the search works impressed me more than anything. Of course, like every great magic trick, it seems so simple once it is explained. For the curious, here's the linked blog post describing how the project works: https://eieio.games/blog/writing-down-every-uuid/ Edit to add: I'd only tried searching for an exact UUID when I wrote this comment. I didn't realize it supports full text search! Now I'm even mo…

Love both the project idea and the writing!

The way that post explains each step in a unique laconic tone is very enjoyable to read.

Does that not cause problems on some card machines? I've come across a few that definitely don't let you put in more than four digits.

That provides very valuable information: DO NOT TRUST this machine to be secure! Similarly, any web site or app that can’t correctly handle a space character at the end of the password should never be trusted with anything of consequence.

Are you really worried that a card machine is going to leak your PIN? That doesn't seem to be a common attack vector compared to a third-party skimmer being attached or someone just mugging you and demanding your PIN under threat of physical violence.

To answer the actual question: I don't know because I left my PIN at 4 digits, despite knowing I could use more, precisely because I didn't think it would really make my life any more secure.

This is the biggest hack since every ATM PIN was leaked: https://pastebin.com/SmJRB8eQ

PINs can be up to 6 digits (at least here in the UK, but I doubt it's country specific), even though the ones they give you by default are only ever 4. So that's only a leak of 1% of them.

My card doesn't even let me include repeating digits in its PIN. I suppose it can make a one-off guess more likely than one in a thousand to correctly guess my PIN.
