That’s up there with the password story, hunter2.
- jnovek 4mo agoWhat the heck is *******?
- thot_experiment 4mo agoThat's so neat that if you type your hacker news password it automatically comes out as stars! ******* More places should have this feature.
- ndsipa_pomu 4mo agoI just uses stars as my password, so that works everywhere for me. (For security, I won't let you know how many stars)
- jeremyjh 4mo agoThis is perfectly safe as long as you keep your username a secret.
- ndsipa_pomu 4mo agoI try to use stars as my username, but a lot of places won't allow it
- brookst 4mo agoYeah it’s one of those words that gets snapped up early, like https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=stars https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=stars
- ndsipa_pomu 4mo agoThat doesn't look like a well used account - how do I get it transferred to me? Edit: never mind, I guessed the password as it was only five stars.
- csomar 4mo agoLet me try: ******* Edit: it does really work.
- psychoslave 4mo agoKeeping track of password is for those who can’t crack any account whenever it’s needed, of course. Just create the account, and crack it everytime a login is needed, as simple as that.
- fennecfoxy 4mo agoLmao I bet Dang is watching this chain like *finger on edit button*
- leafericssonday 4mo agoLet me try leafericssonday1
- leafericssonday 4mo agoHello, me! That did, in fact, work.
- leafericssonday 4mo agoWow! That's incredible, me. I would never have expected such a thing.

- corobo 4mo agoIf mind viruses exist this is one of them along with saying "nice" after something is 69 haha Weird sort of internet-evolved performance art where people act out the old quote, every time. It's 20 years old. Quit having fun!
- arkh 4mo agoThat's because there is no Antimemetics Division.
- jnovek 4mo agoI am a sucker for cultural reference jokes, esp if it’s some subculture that I am/have been a member of (e.g. IRC in the late 90s/00s). It’s fun to find a connection to a stranger, even if it’s vague and superficial. It’s something like that feeling of familiarity and comfort you get when you sing along with a song you know all the words to. (The score on my post above has been bouncing around all over the place, lol. The fun police are definitely out in full force. I’ll stop having fun when I’m dead, thank you.)
- cwnyth 4mo agoI miss bash.org. Now excuse me, I have a cyber date, and I need to put on my robe and wizard hat.

- linsomniac 4mo agoStill, every time someone accidentally disconnects from a video meeting or the like I say "That wasn't my speaker cable."
- echelon 4mo agohttps://youtu.be/SXmv8quf_xM https://youtu.be/SXmv8quf_xM What's up YouTube, it's NextGenHacker101 and today I'll be teaching you guys how to see other people's IP addresses. You can see what their connection speed is and what site they're on. Type in Tracer T. H T T P semicolon. Well, not semicolon, the little dot dot. Dot dot slash slash. Ten people are currently using Google. DallasTexas13, obviously his username.
- gopher_space 4mo ago“How can you tell I’m 13?” from username H|t13r Interesting to think about the cost of training a LLM to understand that it’s operating within an unknown number of larger contexts versus sending that quote to an edgy intern.
