For years now I've made all my passwords in Latin as I'm yet to see a dictionary with Latin in it. This meme hit me hard.

Aren't star name public?

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Yes, and they make for awful passwords as a result. Ergo... Are stepper motors an instrument?

[-] enbee 6 points 3 days ago

No but they can be given instructions that generate tones. The joke is that the star name dict got the pen testers in and they ran code to make the motors generate chiptunes.

(I know, I was spelling it out for the person above me, also referencing Patrick Star)

Thanks, I didn't realise that it was a dictionary attack meme.
