  I find it most amusing that that link has my logged in username and a password hash as the last line, when i view it.

    It appears based on one's cookie, as it is isn't present if I delete my cookies.

      The encrypted session cookie is how their server establishes you are authenticated. By deleting your cookie, you essentially logged out of your account which is why the server does not have your username to add to the list anymore.

  Finally a page on Reddit that doesn't try ten times to convert you to an app user if you are using a mobile browser.
  • n-gauge 9y ago
    i.reddit.com
    • 6nf 9y ago
      Cool, that's the old mobile site. How do I get the desktop version of reddit on my phone?
      • colejohnson66 9y ago
        Does requesting the desktop site work? That changes your user agent to a desktop browser
        • md81544 9y ago
          It works for me.
  • wickawic 9y ago
    with the incredibly dark pattern of saying you can 'continue' to the app with a big button, or 'go to the mobile site' with small text below. Of course you are already on the mobile site, so to use this wording is intentionally malicious.
    • snailmailman 9y ago
      Sometimes it won’t let you continue at all without logging in, with “go to the mobile site” being replaced with “log into the mobile site” This isn’t consistent though and I only get it maybe once a week. I just give up and check again later.

  It's more useful after chrome translates from the original maltese.

• bluesmoon 9y ago
  TIL: Chrome thinks these passwords are written in Maltese
  • thephyber 9y ago
    I'm under the impression Google Translate uses relative character frequencies to suggest which language. If you are looking at a page which is mostly hashes, the distribution of the hash values likely affects which language is suggested.

  looks like /etc/shadow, not passwd

    There was a time when they weren't separate...

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passwd#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passwd#History tl;dr: Originally, password hashes were stored in /etc/passwd (as the name might imply). It wasn't until "the mid-1980s" that /etc/shadow was invented to fix the security hole. Knowing the quality of consumer grade router firmware, that fix may be available for your router sometime within the next year </trollface.jpeg>
