Should I approve spelling-and-grammar–only suggested edits? @EdwardFalk That only happens if you untick the “edit was helpful” checkbox. Otherwise the two edits are recorded separately. |

SSH agent loses keys after logging out I think you can add your SSH keys to the Gnome keyring, and that way you only have to enter your keyring password when you log in. It's a security vs usability compromise. |

unable to create `/etc/skel/.bash_logout.dpkg-new': No such file or directory @minihydra Hmmm, this behavior makes no sense. What's the output of cat /proc/mounts, just to make sure there's nothing bad there? I recommend doing a memory test (choose “memory test” at the boot prompt, let it run for a few hours (at least one full pass)), then a filesystem check (fsck -n /dev/sda1, or wherever / is mounted).

How secure is using CRAM-MD5 for email authentication, when not using an SSL connection? fgrieu and I ended up covering mostly the same ground. I think this is a valid case for asking similar questions on two different sites with different audiences (even if the answers turn out to be similar in this case), but when you do this, do link the questions to each other, so that potential answerers and readers can see what the other side has already said on the topic. |

What is the entropy of just 1 Diceware passphrase like my passphrase? @Dick99999 If you knew in which order the passwords are cracked, you would simply pick the last password. If password crackers did process passwords in order then everyone would pick @ @ @ @ @ as the most secure password. It doesn't work that way! Password cracking might prioritize “easy” passwords, but they do not operate in any order that resembles dictionary order. If anything, the passwords may be ordered by their hash — but the hashes would be traversed in a pretty much unguessable order anyway, and in parallel.
