They aren’t sure yet if someone else found it first. If a smart person found it first they could sell it piecemeal to make it harder to know where it came from. Each identity isn’t worth much but that’s a lot. Combine that with the password stuffing capability from a plain text password list and there’s…

If you ever, ever store passwords in plain text instead of hashed and salted your business should be shut down. Thats below even Security 101 level, and shows a critical carelessness for user data.

When we’re find things like this, unless we have exact audit logs proving there was no misuse, we assume it was misused because that’s the only sane way to do it.

If it turns out they have excellent logging (hah) maybe they can prove it, let’s hope so for the affected people’s sake.

Did you expand the filesystem itself?

You go from physical (your dd) to encrypted (luks) to lvm(if used) to your filesytem itself.

You probably have btrfs so check out Resizing btrfs

Edit: I can read, you have ext4 :)

Check out resize2fs, IIRC it can do it live on a mounted partition

This is why we require second factor on the password manager too, otherwise you’re exactly right.

Moosemouse , 11 months ago to technology in A Tribute to Bram Moolenaar, The Maestro Behind Vim Code Editor

Calling it a code editor is like calling my car a “work transport vehicle”

Vim is an all purpose text-editing machine and although it has some definite quirks it solves problems. If you’ve used original vi you’ll know just how much more amazing vim is without changing the core concepts.

Much love to Bram, you made the world a better place ❤️

Moosemouse , 11 months ago to nostupidquestions in Why do most gaming laptops have vents on the bottom?

Even my “corporate” Thinkpad with no dedicated GPU has all the fans on the bottom and exhausting to the sides and back.

With the new hinges there’s space on the back for exhaust, some impeller fans drawing from the sides and exhausting out the back would be so much better. I custom printed some 1/2 inch high feet so it doesn’t throttle sitting on a table or lap desk because it’s just a terrible design even when used normally
