We added automod support for galleries so mods can restrict captions or urls. We updated the automod docs, yesterday.

Also, we are planning to update our post requirements feature to include optional rules for galleries. These are the rules that we are considering:

• Captions are optional/required/disabled
• URLs are optional/required/disabled
• Link domain restrictions (if URLs are not disabled)
• Min/max number of gallery items

Are there any other post requirements that you’d find helpful for galleries?

>Spammers are gonna have a field day in larger subs.

All outbound links go through same spam filters as link posts.

If the owners of those photos or media send us takedown notice, we'll respond accordingly (likely asking them to contact the original media host, for things outside thumbnails).

Sending a properly formatted DMCA takedown notice is not difficult. We have received them from plenty of claimants who have no legal representation. A quick google search will give anyone an idea of how to go about doing this, and DMCA contact instructions can be found in our user agreement.

Do you intend to share data with https://haveibeenpwned.com/? The guy that operates that site never discloses lists of emails, but only allows people to check their known email addresses against the lists he has.

The link in this OP didn't work for me on mobile, even putting it in the browser.

And when I finally got it, I can't run it. Crashes immediately, I sent in a report

For the lazy Android users: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reddit.frontpage

Edit: For those wondering, I had found it on Reddit's twitter.

An app announced on Facebook, seemingly invisible on Play Store, was eventually found through a bit.ly link on Twitter.

Edit 2: Fixed

Have you read Predictably Irrational? If you buy Dan Ariely's arguments, then I am afraid the admins have changed the nature of our relationship to reddit from a social one (i.e. pay money to reddit, feel good about it) to a monetary one (i.e pay money to reddit, feel like you are not getting your money's worth).

I just wanted to say thanks for making that course on web app dev on Udacity a while back. It was the only course on that site I managed to get through. This one: https://www.udacity.com/course/web-development--cs253

I appreciate that, but I really think they can live harmoniously. It's just a really big downer that I want to build this app for Reddit, but instead of being able to do that I'm spending a bunch of time having a back and forth with Reddit trying to figure out why I'm being singled out and what's wrong with my icon and okay with all the other ones that literally copy the logo.

I really just want to build the app. Twitter has a blue bird as their logo, and lets third party apps such as Tweetbot and Twitterrific use transformed birds as their logo. My app's name is an homage to the Apollo 11 astronauts, so I built the logo to be an astronaut. It has similar eyes to Snoo, but it's wearing a helmet, has a different color scheme, different antenna, no mouth, no ears, etc. Other than the eyes, I think it's sufficiently transformed that it shouldn't be confusing to users, while still maintaining the fact that it's a Reddit app.

I think it walks the line well and shouldn't be singled out, especially when other apps are given a pass for years.

Hello. I'm RedditGloriousLeader, can explain now? Imgur fats blackmail us into getting rid of fatpeoplehate, so we chooce 4 smallar subreddits to dismiss as excuse to stop fat, lazy stupid fats from blackmailing. Subredditdrama and shitredditsays is happy, so we all win. yes

Edit: Neofag banned because critical of bad behvaiour even if vagina is there

https://adblockplus.org/

I’m not installing that.

The Reddit staff’s behavior around ignoring the majority outcry against the web redesign is still fresh in my mind.

However I’m more than happy to keep using the superior Apollo App instead.

Yeah, sometimes good human-focused design has to ignore what people think they want and give people want they actually want.

Our brains are wired in a way that makes whitespace essential for parsing and engaging with information. Dynamic transitions and animations don't just look pretty - they establish continuity between views.

Maintaining a slashdot-type esoteric design will only exclude people in the future. People still whine about the "Ribbon" in Office but it's objectively improved the software for users.

Please don't be afraid of the Reddit "power user" bandwagon that's going to throw a fit over this. Create something that the science, and good design, supports. I can't wait to see what you all come up with. :)

> They don’t have any pictures of you, there’s no keylogger, etc. they got your password and are using that to scare you into thinking they have more.

I second all of this 100%

> Don’t reply, block his email address, and ignore.

Don't forget to change that password they shared with you anywhere & everywhere it was used. I highly recommend switching to https://1password.com to generate secure/unique passwords for every site. It will also tell you where you have duplicate passwords and which passwords have been seen in data breaches.

I just want to reply to say, if you choose to use a cloud-based password manager, then you should be utilising two factor authentication (e.g. Google Authenticator). LastPass supports Google Authenticator on both free and premium accounts.

They also support:

• Alerts (e.g. login from new device, change account password, etc).
  
• Country Restriction (e.g. US only).
  
• Auto-expiration of trusted devices.
  
• Auto-log off
  
• And the Master Password is hashed using PBKDF2-SHA256 with the rounds being configurable, the database is then encrypted using the hash as the key, and AES-256 as the algorithm. So picking a strong master password with high rounds is important, I recommend 10,000 rounds as a starting point.

All of this on the free accounts.

> salted and hashed passwords (pretty much useless to hackers)

Kind of misleading, they can be locally bruteforced and reveal your real password (at the time). The longer the password and more different types of characters (numbers, lowercase, uppercase, symbols, etc.) the longer/more computing power it takes to crack.

It's a little embarrassing really. A grand announcement to declare that you've finally caught up and added a feature that a happy amateur has been supporting for 5 years or however much. And it only works with the much-beloved redesign, oof.

For those out of the loop, just go grab the Reddit Enhancement Suite and enjoy not just night mode but a massively improved browsing experience.

This is overly cynical and misanthropic. Truth and justice happens because of free speech, not in spite of it. If we accept your bleak assessment as truth then the Gutenberg press was a net negative and we should return to the happy days of 1300 AD.

Since I remember the days before the Internet and easy access to old books, IMHO, the website Gutenberg Project alone will forever make the Internet a net positive for society:

https://www.gutenberg.org/

Freyrs3 is incorrect. You are correct.

Percentage Calc Its about 4.38 hours technically.

Assuming the full Amazon downtime of 1 day, 14 hours from the uptime calc.. they owe 34 hours of downtime pro-rate.

However, Amazon is going to claim that as soon as the site was able to get "up", the downtime clock stops. Even if not every volume was accessible, etc. There are such loopholes in these contracts/SLAs. Reddit would be lucky to be compensated for half of that. (reading their SLA, its worse than I thought)

> If the Annual Uptime Percentage for a customer drops below 99.95% for the Service Year, that customer is eligible to receive a Service Credit equal to 10% of their bill (excluding one-time payments made for Reserved Instances) for the Eligible Credit Period.

It appears the max refund for any month is 10% of that month's service? Someone please tell me this isn't true. This is why I love Rackspace Hosting:

*Network: Five percent (5%) of the fees for each 30 minutes of network downtime, up to 100% of the fees;

Data Center Infrastructure: Five percent (5%) of fees for each 30 minutes of infrastructure downtime, up to 100% of the fees;

Cloud Server Hosts: Five percent (5%) of the fees for each additional hour of downtime, up to 100% of the fees;

Migration:Five percent (5%) of the fees for each additional hour of downtime, up to 100% of the fees.* From: SLA

Can somebody help me out here? I don't quite understand that counter. For starters, it's at 99.5%, which is less than 99.95%. Secondly, 0.05% of downtime in a year is about four and a half hours right?

<strong>Password card</strong> and <strong>1password</strong> are my go-to generator/managers.

1password for most everything and passwordcard + sticky note ~~under my keyboard~~ in my wallet (with vague interpretations of the coordinates of the password) for places where I don't have access to 1password.

Your post/browsing history are belong to us.

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: ‘We know your dark secrets. We know everything.’

Thank you, /u/farewellrose, we're all learning as we go on this journey together. The fact reddit has become a network of over 9,000 communities in 10 years is staggering to me. I'm humbled by it. Thankfully, we have a team here that is committed to seeing that those 9,000 continue to thrive and the next 81,000+ grow.

This project that my college buddy (Steve Huffman) and I started a decade ago has become the 9th most trafficked site in the US (and largest US online media property) because of amazing volunteer moderators and their 9000+ communities.

We'll keep doing our best to serve you the best tools + support we can. Basically, reddit: you da real MVP.

I'd actually say its a silent minority that patch it out, and a mostly silent majority that use said patch. RES is used by a lot of people.

Sure there are millions and millions more who don't use it, but that's not the point I'm trying to make. I am all for it existing, and even there being a toggle/opt out for it to be (or not be) the default. But I don't want it forced on me any more than you want it taken away.

It's the regularly scheduled intermission, just long enough to go to the bathroom and wash your hands (or in the case of someone who's been up for 20 hours with explosive diarrhea, getting more Gatorade).

On the other hand, you could try this non-addictive* gaming experience to pass the time.

^*Actually ^incredibly ^addictive

> When it comes to software development, committing to exact dates is a fool's errand.

Use an open tracking system and let us watch the stories in progress. A tool like Pivotal Tracker (I work at Pivotal Labs, Tracker is amaaaazzzinnng) will give followers a pretty good idea of what's going on and what's coming up.

For example, we're the main contributors to the Cloud Foundry project. The whole of Cloud Foundry runs through public Tracker projects, anyone can see what's going on in any team at any time.

Right now I can see that the buildpacks team is working towards a release marker for self-built binaries, which on the current backlog will land next week.

I can see that the Diego team are working towards having all long-running process access happening through an API server, which is automatically estimated to land later this month.

Nobody makes a guess. This is all derived from actual hard data.

someone else already pretty much has a reddit SPA, it's called reditr.

I'm a bit loathe to promote it, given their keyword stuffing mention of RES puts them above RES in the Chrome webstore search results, but whatever, they seem like nice people and it's an interesting app.

The thing about an SPA is that the idea of subreddit CSS pretty much dies unless the SPA's markup is still consistent (and preferably matches reddit's existing markup, or all subreddit styles would need to be rewritten from scratch) ... not an easy problem to solve.

That password was likely from another breach (check out https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and check your email address), and they are just phishing. I got one of these too a few weeks ago, however it had my old yahoo password as "proof", despite all my passwords being unique.

There is no keylogger, no cam, no "secret". If you're really worried, you can reply and say that if they show you proof, you'll pay up

Why was /r/zoequinncontroversy banned? As far as I know, this subreddit was created to discuss a controversial event as said discussion received a lot of censorship from the mods on /r/games. Some posts which doxxed personal info was rightfully removed, however many posts and comments did not break any rules.

Can you explain the reasoning behind this. The zip file contains screencaps of a conversation with an /r/games mod that implies admins told mods to remove such posts and I quote "She (Zoe) told us to delete everything regarding her. I told her no. The admins though otherwise".

I know this has nothing to do with celebgate and /r/thefappening but it does have everything to do with the blatant hypocrisy of your stance on free speech and your statement that you don't ban or otherwise intervene on subreddits unless you're required to by law or they break valid reddit rules.

> Plus over a 15 year period, I'm pretty confident that being legit comes out ahead monetarily even if you don't get caught.

I run a company full of pentesters and reverse engineers and I'm fairly confident we have as much fun as the average Ukrainian botmaster. Monetarily, over the long haul you're probably right.

FWIW, a good number of the blackhats I've met would take a legit InfoSec job if they could get one, a lot of times there are other circumstances that prevent it, like past convictions or drug issues and the like.

If you want to know more about that world and the grey areas between blackhats and so-called whitehats (that word makes me cringe, I'm not the damn Lone Ranger), the book Kingpin by Kevin Poulsen is a good place to start, about a guy who started out as a pentester and went darkside after what is best described as a series of unfortunate events.

It hasn't, like, at all. It's an exact replication placed next to the reddit snoo. The image itself isn't altered in the slightest... It's a copy+paste rather than a recreation as well.

I'm not even sure you could claim the work was transformative enough to pass that aspect of fair use, let along the fact that it's not being used for criticism, comment, news reporting or teaching, etc.

So no. It's not under fair use, and it needed this license.

Also, because the technicality is mildly of important to those who wish to give away their art. It's not actually in the public domain, it's licensed under the Creative Commons CC0 license, which effectively puts it in the public domain.

This is important because some (maybe even many) countries do not allow you to just place work in the public domain, which is why the legal code includes things like:

> Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.

To make it as legally binding as possible no matter a country's laws.

Don't downvote this guy, it's a legit question.

Some of the most secure software on the planet is open source. OpenSSH is a great example, or the linux kernel itself of course.

It turns out that hiding your software from others is just another form of 'security through obscurity' - the hopes that because your attackers can't easily see how you built something, they won't be able to break it.

Turns out, surprise surprise, all forms of security through obscurity turn out to be crap when it comes to actual security - because while hackers have virtually unlimited time and resources to try to crack and reverse engineer software, the defenders are limited to their internal budgets.

Open sourcing your projects allows the attackers and defenders to have a fair playing field. And since only things that improve security will actually be merged and accepted into these public projects, they trend towards stronger security as time goes on.

I didn't know about the red button until at least a year into reading SMBC. But then it was awesome to go back and re-read the few hundred posts I had missed by that point. Now you're in the 3 or 4 thousand range? For his/her sake, I hope s/he knew about the red button!

I've recently started using KeePass, and I'm almost ashamed I didn't start using it sooner :p It makes password management a breeze and easily lets you create randomized passwords. Plus it's cross-platform (with Mono on Linux; there's also KeePassX) and open-source. I like the sync feature too, so I can easily have my database accessible and updated aross my computers.

Prior to that, I used Master Password. It was ok, but for the GUI app, I didn't really like having to pull in Java on my installs (that was the only thing I needed Java for). There's apparently a CLI version for Linux, but meh (as much as I like CLI, I can't imagine a CLI password manager being too convenient)

Was lately working on updating my accounts (switching my passwords over to KeePass generated ones; updating email addresses and other details as-needed) and closing ones I don't use. PSN is a fun one :p (can't change my email address because it matches my username... apparently this is only like this on the PC, whereas consoles will let you change regardless of that; wtf kind of weird restriction is that)

If you do want a night mode without switching to the redesign, try RES. I've been using it for years, it's impossible for me to use the site without it these days.

Absolutely. According to this site there are 171,476 words currently in use in the English dictionary. If you randomly choose 4 words, that's 171,476 * 171,475 * 171,474 * 171,473 = 864,500,000,000,000,000,000 (I don't even know how to say that number) possibilities. That would take a very long time to guess.

Yeah, that's not what I said. What I said was that whataboutism was popularized in Russia. That is a factual statement, not an opinion.

https://www.npr.org/2017/03/17/520435073/trump-embraces-one-of-russias-favorite-propaganda-tactics-whataboutism

>This particular brand of changing the subject is called "whataboutism" — a simple rhetorical tactic heavily used by the Soviet Union and, later, Russia. And its use in Russia helps illustrate how it could be such a useful tool now, in America. As Russian political experts told NPR, it's an attractive tactic for populists in particular, allowing them to be vague but appear straight-talking at the same time.

To those who wish to avoid all this nonsense, block everything on the domain pixel.redditmedia.com as that's where the tracking happens. You can do this via your hosts file:

127.0.0.1 pixel.redditmedia.com

Also, I believe Ghostery blocks stuff on this domain.

Note that this only hides your comments and not delete them from reddit servers. You need to edit them and then delete them.

This one does the job better

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/5550-reddit-secure-delete

This is how I installed it (from PC, except step 1):

1. Use Orbot to get an US, UK, Canada or Australia IP (on phone)
2. Use Tor browser to get an US, UK, Canada or Australia IP (on PC)
3. Go to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reddit.frontpage
4. Click on Install (it will ask you to login)
5. Select phone and install
6. Wait until the phone downloads the app and installs it

What do you think about Reddit being a gold mine for hate speech training data? Maybe think about that a bit more.

https://thenextweb.com/artificial-intelligence/2019/09/25/reddit-and-gabs-most-toxic-communities-inadvertently-train-ai-to-combat-hate-speech/

Because the current community is starting to fucking hate them as it is evident by the mass downvoting of this announcement and there have been repeated mass exoduses to voat. So they lie their ass off hoping we're gullible enough. Or to put it in other words they're afraid of getting Digged before they manage to attract the idiot crowd. The funny thing is that the idiot crowd already has trash like Buzzfeed and HuffPo to keep them stupid.

>Our goal is to enable as many people as possible to have authentic conversations and share ideas and content on an open platform.

lmao ok

https://adblockplus.org/

Downvote me for this if you feel the need or recommend whoever else you feel necessary too.

But ,I say Reddit should migrate over to one of our hosting platforms at Rackspace Managed Hosting. I could go on a massive tirade about the reasons why but I can honestly say we already have a pretty straight and to the point explanation as to why you should choose us! Rackspace Managed Hosting

DO IT LIVE!

I know there's MailButler for Apple Mail, at least, and you can script just about anything you like with a mail client like mutt or mu4e. I imagine there's a plugin for Thunderbird derivatives, though I haven't looked. Be the hero you want to see in the world!

Will 2FA become mandatory in third party apps? I'd imagine you would reach out to them if the user sign in flow was to change in any way. Also, I'd love it if you integrated with Google authenticator or another such app.

Use those 30 minutes to download reddit before the servers go down for maintenance and browse it offline

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXysg_DWcHs

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hr.redditoffline&amp;hl=en

Looks like Reddit and owners have bowed to their advertiser masters. This place will become a SJW/P.C. haven for people who want to live in an echo chamber; not that it wasn't already headed down that path long ago.

Just because you find something distasteful, emotionally hurtful, annoying, offensive, and/or stupid gives you no right to just outright censor the content for others, especially when this site has historically supported freedom of discussion and exchange of ideas. This is a fast track ride to the bottom.

I refuse to financially support such a site. I never have and will never buy gold. I use adblock, which I recommend everyone else use as well ( https://adblockplus.org/ ).

It's a sad and pathetic day when 4chan is a morally superior site for people who want to freely discuss and exchange ideas.

I'd prefer this stuff was shunted off and centralized into some kind of moderation log, something like lobste.rs has. That also makes it easy for the casual user to get a birds eye view of the kind of links and stuff being removed, without having to go digging (i.e. helping to thwart the usual mod conspiracy dramas that boil over constantly, and also to help disincentivize abusive mods from encouraging conspiracy.. sadly also a not infrequent event)

Here's a decent article on the topic at hand. How can I block users that change their IP address or use a proxy?

If that's true, then it demonstrates the need for official clarification. CloudFlare has 35 different data centers, which are scattered all over the world. Which of those is/are Reddit's "local" jurisdiction(s), for the purposes of law?

There is a huge difference between a development culture trapped under the weight of bad code and one which has a well written and maintainable code base.

In Martin's Clean Code he explains what it's like to be trapped under bad code and how it demoralizes engineers, destroys release schedules and can ultimately destroy businesses. Bugs don't get fixed, new features don't come out, and ultimately the poor engineering decisions made earlier by those who legitimately felt validated bootstrapping and rushing a product are now a shackle around those trapped trying just to maintain and scale it.

While a total rewrite of the desktop site sounds perilously close to a Grand Redesign in the Sky, the flip side is that a cleanly coded replacement would be far easier to not only maintain and fix, but to enhance and scale.

When you read spez's comments since he's come back, and if you've ever done software development, you can literally feel the code hell that he's describing.

I'm a KeePass user too and can only recommend it.

I especially like that I can use the same password DB with Windows, Linux (using KeePassX) and Android (Keepass2Android).

It's very convenient to use too, you simply go the login page, Alt+Tab to KeePass, then hit Ctrl+V and you're done (username and password will be typed in automatically). You can also use Ctrl+C, which will put the password in the clip-board and then erase it again after few seconds.

Remembering on which sites I've already signed up and with what username is a lot simpler for me now too.

They did it for a short time in 2000, as I edited in above. There's no evidence they have since.

Your link is not about Amazon changing their own price. Their source is http://www.geekwire.com/2014/lawsuit-alleges-amazon-prime-third-party-prices-inflated-cover-shipping/, which says

>Amazon is being accused of encouraging third-party sellers to inflate prices to help cover the cost of shipping

Note that third party sellers can set their prices to whatever they want.

One of the complaints is at https://www.scribd.com/embeds/240884325/content?start_page=1&amp;view_mode=scroll&amp;show_recommendations=true

Regardless of the merits of the complaint (it seems meritless to me), it's not about differential pricing, but about breach of Prime contract.

At least one of the suits went to arbitration.

Apparently, Quora and Foursquare were also affected. Here's a German article on the issue (badly translated using Google Translate).

is it though? based on attendance it is but thats because each team in baseball has like 150+ games a season with cheap stadium entry. of course it will have greater attendance than the 16 nfl games. Not that many people actually care about the sport though. According to polls, football is the most popular sport by a long shot. Hell, even the NBA finals get more TV viewers than the world series.

anecdotally ive met maybe a handful of fans who care enough to actually watch baseball, and none of them do it regularly. just about everyone watches NFL regularly though.

COMMUNISM IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF FAILURE

It looks to me as if persona management is being used to steer discussion away from the supposed rationale behind the mods' strange behavior. Somehow I doubt racial sensitivity is the actual reason, and would guess some want to drive users away.

>Maybe we present text in a different way where you don't see a giant vertical page with comments, but rather a branching, word-tree/association/flowchart-ish touch-centric thing.

Someone did something like that already, debiki. (found in /r/subofrome, thread)

Reddit Enhancement Suite it adds a lot of additional features (dark mode, infinite scroll, etc.) and you can also use it to block seeing the redesign entirely.

For the record this is what the redesign looks like.

It seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users. I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "RES"

^Please ^PM ^/u/eganwall ^with ^issues ^or ^feedback! ^| ^Delete

One option is to include the word "controversial" in the header, but restyle it as a dagger. Here's my cheap demo. The ChromeVox screen reader on Chromebooks successfully reads it as "matchu 42 points controversial".

I use "ne" (Nice Editor): http://ne.di.unimi.it/

It's probably the easiest editor for Windows users to use.

That said, I usually just use SFTP + VS Code or Sublime Text because this is &lt;insert_current_year&gt; and I shouldn't have to remember esoteric key macros from before vaporwave's source material was made

Dashlane is the same, in that they have phone apps you can get your password from. Also AES-256 encryption, with 10,000+ rounds of PBKDF2 salt.

Just another option to look at.

With LastPass you can login just in the web page, completely in the browser. Keep it open for as long as you need it and just copy and paste passwords out of it.

(I assume you have access to browse the web)

Fantastic.

Quick question: I lost expando icons in some subreddits when I installed the Privacy Badger extension. To be clear, the expando still works, but the icon itself is missing - I have to hover over blank space roughly where I know the expando should be and then I can click it.

I'm guessing this is related to subreddits that replace the expando icon with something custom. The expandos on /announcements are visible and work fine, for example.

Given that viewing the expando color will be a key feature protecting spoilers, I was wondering if you knew what setting needs to change in Privacy Badger to fix this?

Thanks in advance, and thanks for all your hard work developing RES!

I'm reading Programming Perl. Every once in a while, I'll get to a section that makes me say "What the fuck? Okay, I'm going to move on and hope I remember that this section exists if I run into this issue."

Meh. I'll stick with reddit is fun unless there is a compelling reason not to. Even your own official app stinks. Get with the times.

COMMUNISM IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF FAILURE

The vulnerability existed for quite some time before we knew about it, so any site using that OpenSSL version was open to it (and we didn't know until the security announcement).

http://mashable.com/2014/04/09/heartbleed-bug-websites-affected/

That lists Gmail as being hit.

Indeed. Here's an explanation, taken from here.

This is bcrypt:

Generate a random salt. A "cost" factor has been pre-configured. Collect a password.

Derive an encryption key from the password using the salt and cost factor. Use it to encrypt a well-known string. Store the cost, salt, and cipher text. Because these three elements have a known length, it's easy to concatenate them and store them in a single field, yet be able to split them apart later.

When someone tries to authenticate, retrieve the stored cost and salt. Derive a key from the input password. Encrypt the same well-known string. If the generated cipher text matches the stored cipher text, the password is a match.

Bcrypt operates in a very similar manner to more traditional schemes based on algorithms like PBKDF2. The main difference in its use of a derived key to encrypt known plain text; other schemes (reasonably) assume the key derivation function is irreversible, and store the derived key directly.

> ---

Stored in the database, a bcrypt "hash" might look something like this: $2a$10$vI8aWBnW3fID.ZQ4/zo1G.q1lRps.9cGLcZEiGDMVr5yUP1KUOYTa

This is actually three fields, delimited by "$":

• 2a identifies the bcrypt algorithm version that was used.
• 10 is the cost factor; 2^10 iterations of the key derivation function are used (which is not enough, by the way. I'd recommend a cost of 12 or more.)
• vI8aWBnW3fID.ZQ4/zo1G.q1lRps.9cGLcZEiGDMVr5yUP1KUOYTa is the salt and the cipher text, concatenated and encoded in a modified Base-64. The first 22 characters decode to a 16-byte value for the salt. The remaining characters are cipher text to be compared for authentication.

This example is taken from the documentation for Coda Hale's ruby implementation.

2 questions:

1. Will you be self-submitting the stolen set of email addresses to the HaveIBeenPwned service? https://haveibeenpwned.com/ is a breach collation site run by Troy Hunt, an Australian security expert who has built that site from his own pocket as a way to inform people about breaches in an ethical manner. he has collected almost 300 different breaches in a variety of ways, ranging from given by helpful people to downloading public copies of breaches and yes, some self-submitted breaches.
2. When you say "Hashed", what algorithm are you talking about? Since this is from 2007 when password security wasn't considered as important, it's probably a weak algorithm like MD5 or SHA1, but you never know, since bcrypt was already out at the time.

Change your Google account password. It's possible that someone got past the password and was stopped by the second factor.

Also, don't reuse passwords between multiple sites - it's possible that some password leak from another site can be used to try to get into your other accounts. You can check https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if your account appears in some major leaks in the past.

Your browser agent might change every couple of weeks. That's still not super often. And unless your IP changes at the exact same time, then they can link the change in user agent by IP. And even if your IP does change, the geolocation of your IP is still going to be in the same general area. So they can assume that the guy from New York who has a browser fingerprint 99% similar to the guy from New York from an hour ago is actually the same guy.

And on amiunique.org I have 2 pieces of data that are less that 0.1%. A total of 4 that are under 1%.

You can of course get around all of this just by using something like Tor Browser. But we're talking about most users. Also Reddit could just ban all tor exit nodes. It's a shitty thing to do, but reddit is a high target so it makes sense for them.

Been using Sticky Password over the last few weeks and been pretty happy with it. It's sort of halfway between KeePass and LastPass, I'd say.

One nice feature is it allows for password syncing between devices over Wifi only, so you get much of the convenience of a cloud-based password manager without actually having to store your info in the cloud. They do offer cloud syncing as well, if desired.

LastPass' database is locally 256 bit AES en/decrypted based on a PBKDF2 hashed version of your master password.

You can also increase the number of PBKDF2 rounds to make your password even harder to brute force, at the expense of slower login times.

LastPass is good, too, and the nice thing with the Heartbleed issue is that LastPass will display which passwords you have in your account that need changing because of it (and are safe to change).

Apparently you can check site vulnerabilities here, even without an account: https://lastpass.com/heartbleed/

When you paste an URL into the search box, you're not actually using the search function; it redirects you to the function that submits a link.

That function then does a very specific search for exactly the URL you entered. It can fail to find matches over something as mundane as using https instead of http (or the other way round), missing/adding one final backslash, having extra parameters in the URL, etc.

For example, if you use the HTTPS Everywhere addon to redirect many sites to their HTTPS versions, then you might not be at the URL that you got from Reddit. Copying and pasting the URL you're on, even if you got there straight from reddit, will then not find your page!

Is this why people are having problems?

With the scripting system I defined, assuming it was implemented correctly, it would be easy to make a multiplayer version that people could challenge each other to, among other things. That would be something a moderator could do with such a system. (Though albeit a bit weird and probably needlessly wasteful for the server). There's a bullet point for turn based games in the use case descriptions.

Also you made me curious. The pure CSS tic-tac-toe solutions are very clever. Found this one. :P

Is that true? I thought you guys had a large plurality around 40% but not a majority

Either way, yes the site is understandably dominated by US news, but my issue is when there is a news piece or whatever entirely about somewhere else, on a non-US subreddit, and yet in the comments, the US users still discuss it in US terms eg. how it will effect the US/how it is different in the US etc. and almost have their own isolated discussion amongst themselves, ignoring the country in question, and sometimes the entire topic. It's understandable with the US dominated demographics and it doesn't overly bother me, but I do wish that, on occasion, some US users would consider trying to discuss it in terms that don't include the US at all

Edit: Just looked it up and apparently 58% of users are American so your right in your original comment (I might have been thinking subreddit specific before) but the rest of my comment is the same regardless

I guess CNN is lying!

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/07/30/entertainment/guardians-of-the-galaxy-cast-statement-james-gunn/index.html

Someone mentioned HackerNews, the first Google hit of which is https://news.ycombinator.com which looks slim enough, might probably be what the person meant. It supposedly doesn't have a broad topic base like reddit, though.

COMMUNISM IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF FAILURE

Whoever does this should add the mashable article. Might as well throw in the knowyourmeme page about him as well. (I'd do it, but I don't know how).  :/

Hnnng. Read the rest of the comments idiot. All they had to do was put the sub into text submissions only. Then no thumbnails are generated. It has nothing to do with RES. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Google Analytics is on by default on reddit.com as well. Please see our Privacy Policy, specifically the Google Analytics section, for more information.

I for one am looking forward to my reddit overlords and their 6 step plan.

• First, they will make me safe by banning subreddits that will hurt my feelings.

• Next, they will only let/force you subscribe to admin aka Pao approved subreddits.

• Then, they will remove every other subreddit that Pao doesn't like because feels and diversity.

• After, reddit gold will be changed into ruby red.

• Then, every user who has a history of criticizing Pao or her approved subreddits will be banned from reddit never to indulge in reddit's ruby discounts.

• Finally, reddit will be a safe space for everyone as long as they don't criticize.

Please make it happen, my body is ready and my soul is ready to be sold and morphed to my reddit overlords.

> All I have to do to get around an IP ban is to reset my modem

Only, it doesn't work that way anymore. Not for the vast majority of ISPs. They've been doing away with that for some time now (Read more here). If you reset your cable modem, you will very likely still have the same IP address. They're doing away with that because people have been abusing it for years, and because it's cheaper and easier for them to monitor complaints, bandwidth, perform maintenance, etc. With more & more people abusing the system and committing crimes over the internet, etc, it makes sense for them and it's more efficient for them.

If you have a very small local ISP, or are in a small market, you might still have the legacy system but the big boys started changing over a long time ago.

But that's a moot point for me. I'm familiar with IP bans have I've had some experience in the past on a large forum and it simply works. Yes, I agree that it doesn't work 100% of the time, but a majority of trolls were stopped dead in their tracks. And just because something doesn't work 100% of the time doesn't mean we should ignore it, that's the perfect solution fallacy. If it even worked only 25% of the time, I'd still be here suggesting it.

This kind of growth over a very short period of time could have them concerned. http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/voat.co There bounce rate still sucks, everything else is way up. There no where near the size of Reddit yet. The internet can change fast, I have watched dozens of message board systems come and go over my life. Reddit could go the way of Myspace in a few years or less.

Reddit is already dropping points on Alexa. Their bounce rate is up 4%; the time people come to reddit, then immediately leave.. HMM I wonder what in the world could have done that? Possibly the hundreds of spam posts hating on Ellen Pao, perhaps? That sure would turn off a lot of people that have no idea whats going on.

Their daily page views is down 5% and average time on the site is down 4%.

While it may not seem like much, people are leaving. People are sick of the drama.

Do you intend to pass this data on to https://haveibeenpwned.com or habe you already begun that process?

For other users, now would be a very good time to run your data through that site. It will tell you if it's been revealed in a public breach. If it has, you should probably update your passwords for a few more sites than just reddit.

As good as place as any. Now would also be a good time to sign up for notifications from ;--have I been pwned?. This service will notify you if your email address or credentials potentially related to your email address appear in any known data breaches.

In addition, you can use https://haveibeenpwned.com/ by information security expert "Troy Hunt" to check if your email has been compromised. He also has a password check, but despite passwords filled in there not being stored in any way he recommends only using that for passwords that are unique to one site and about to be discarded anyway.

It seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users. I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "RES"

Approximately half the population is pretty low in terms of internet connectivity.

The other things to consider are bandwidth, latency, datacaps, and spying/fear of spying.

For example in Cuba:

https://thenextweb.com/insider/2018/07/17/cuba-rolls-out-mobile-internet-at-last/

It also remains to be seen what they’ll be charged for data packages. Companies and embassies reportedly pay $45 a month for just 4GB of data – while average state monthly wages are about $30.

Yes, obviously they have people on the internet, but those nations are far from wired.

Like, did they get our dark secrets that reddit brags they have?

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: ‘We know your dark secrets. We know everything.’

Haha holy shit you think anyone will believe that you run 1000's of machines? Possibly 100's. Possibly. And I will bet money that they are all running tiny independent projects, which has nothing to do with the task of automating massive clusters of machines.

Google uses Borg: https://www.quora.com/What-is-Borg-at-Google

Facebook built their own system.

Amazon built their own, and they externalized it to the world as AWS.

Unless you are big enough to build your own automation systems for managing massive clusters like this (you aren't and nobody else is either, even reddit is a pimple on the AWS ass), then always, always, always use a provider like AWS.

>And most of Voat's content is just a bunch of whining about Reddit

In case you forgot... most of Reddit's early comment was people whining about Digg. Hell, there's still some Redditors that still whine about Digg. There's actual original content being produced at this point. You just have to look on the front page.

>despite this supposed exodus to Voat, which is getting "a lot of traffic" because they can't afford to get servers to cope with the small lifeboats of butthurt FPH posters and other Redditors

I truly don't understand why you're telling me that people don't give a shit and that Voat is a joke. The web stats show that Voat's becoming less of a joke each day. Hell, Reddit's popularity has dropped 9 points last I checked. You can compare that to Voat's Alexa ranking.

9 Points on Alexa isn't exactly a "small" exodus. So what are you trying to telling me?

It is much more serious than that:
