I would love to see a list compiled somewhere of two articles with exactly 6 degrees of separation. This is proving to be extremely difficult. In the entire HN thread so far, I only see one so far by dkuder https://www.sixdegrees

I used to have a password algorithm then switched to 1Password and never looked back. My problem of 4 years of algorithm use was that it would slowly change over time. I began to add mechanisms to predictably rotate the passwords. I began t

If you have your own domain name with a wildcard, it's really helpful to enter: someservice@mydomain.com as your email. That way if it leaks you'll know who did it and can setup much more robust rules to block. I'll use the d
