I was recently in a cafe where you had to pay in order to use the internet. I kept trying popular passwords and got in for free... The password was admin.

What is this, 1997? They trying to bring back Internet cafes?

A screenshot of a Mastodon post? This place really is just like Reddit

[–] pipe01@lemmy.pipe01.net 5 points 1 year ago

Just like the good old times

[–] heimchen@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Crosspostion from Mastodon to lemmy would be cool

[–] jherazob@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

It's all ActivityPub under the hood, I've interacted with Lemmy posts from Mastodon before, so it's likely very possible, but needs something done on the Lemmy side

@heimchen
This is me answering directly from Mastodon, definitely possible
@haych

Yea, just so we don't need screenshots anymore

Every password should have more than 8 letters to be effective. Beef stew is not stroganoff.

administrator gang

I'm glad password is 8 letters.

[–] idle@158436977.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Beef stew is not stroganoff would make a great password. Its long, has spaces and is easy to remember.

I think this is a deterrent for skaters and people jumping down the stairs. Like fixtures on the edges of park benches

[–] snowe@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

You can see they just photoshopped out the railing on the side. Not even properly lol.

[–] Lexam@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is to stop stair thieves.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 6 points 1 year ago

You'll never catch me, copper! runs off with several flights of stairs

"admin" encryted change to

U2FsdGVkX1+9801xIiwBEo+mwvPNjc6wcGUlvLI9Gow=

Which is a really nice password

[–] rgb3x3@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Doesn't matter if someone just tries admin:admin.

Encryption only matters if you're trying to get a password list. But admin:admin is the first try everyone uses when attempting to get into a system they're not supposed to get into.

Maybe it's just to keep the obese out?

[–] Syldon@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

As a member of the undertall society I find this offensive.

Well done.

He could install a firewall anytime

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

I thought you would only see shitty screenshots like this on Snapchat or so

If you use hunter2 as a password, everyone will think you're joking.

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Is @dgar some sort of Fedi celebrity or something?

[–] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I was about to joke that it's just to prevent people in wheelchairs. I need to get more sleep.
