That's why I switched to gmail and rot13.
- Osaka 13y agoCould you explain how rot13 helps? "The algorithm provides virtually no cryptographic security..." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROT13 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROT13
- MartinCron 13y agoOnce you explain a joke, it's not funny anymore.
- jarrett 13y agoI believe it was meant ironically. Similar to the joke "I double rot13 all my emails, but I'm probably just being paranoid." (If you're not familiar with rot13, running it twice results in the original plaintext.)
- h0w412d 13y ago"virtually"...being kinda generous, aren't we?
- mynameishere 13y agoIt's a joke, but at the same time, I doubt the pattern-recognition bots correct for it, so it would likely have some effect security-wise, to the same extent you get by spelling 'shit' as 'sh|t'.
- dutchbrit 13y agoYou should use base_64 instead, that's what all the cool kids use.
- wcfields 13y agoCould explain all the advertisements for Hooked on Phonics.
- dictum 13y agoROT13 is ready for enterprise.
- tlrobinson 13y agoNo no, enterprise requires double ROT13.
- mpyne 13y agoHonestly GMail is perfect for the threat model of the mails I use it for. It's very well-defended against random leakage across the Internet, against hacking attacks, etc. The government has an easier time of getting access to it if I piss them off, but if I do piss them off enough they can essentially invent bad stuff regarding me anyways, and I'm screwed no matter what. Once I came into karmic balance with that I accepted it and went on with my life. Of course, what's good for me is not necessarily what's good for you.
