Anyone read the latest stuff from Micrsoft on passwords? I didn't think it was anything new to new honest, but they're suggesting that we no longer need to use complex passwords.
They used a mega grunty built for purpose password cracking hyper computer and found that it took 80 days to crack a 10 character password. A 12 character password was estimated to take a year or more.
I didn't think this was new news. I can remember learning about this timeframe years back.

We've seen listed time for cracking based on the tech of the day... and we can guess what our improvements will be in the future to guess how cracking will improve, but you do a proof every few years to see if your guesses where right.

Waiting for Corsair support to get back to me about an RMA.
Their support must only have one employee. So far the ticket has been responded to twice in 16 days and only on the two Sundays. Once was asking for information that was already in the ticket. Mrs nadnerB has asked that I don't buy their stuff again. -
Building a new array on some cheap external thunderbolt storage. Had a disk in a predictive failure state causing all kinds of issues. Fortunately I was able to pull the data off of the array before it went.

Does On-High maintain it or are they a client?

Unfortunately, there's no clear cut answer for this. It should be On-High's Wordpress developer contractor, but as far as the VM itself, that's going to fall back to my team.

Horrible systems. I have hated them since the first one I dealt with back in 2007.
