And it also means that anyone in close proximity to me can read it whenever I travel with my passport. Also not nice.

TIL that my Italian passport has a #NFC tag on the front cover. That's nice!

I also discovered that this tag can be successfully scanned (using my phone, so nothing fancy) when the passport is in a thick envelope. Which means that, when my consulate sends me a passport via mail, anyone can read it without opening the mail! That's not nice.

Can somebody kindly explain to me why financial institutions are against long passwords? I'm always running in this sort of problems with them

Funny: I created a website for my own small business a few weeks ago, and now I got this in my email.

I always though that these "like-farming" companies kept a low profile, but it appears that it's quite the opposite: they do a lot of marketing!

Insomma, uno strumento di censura in stile cinese, a cui hanno libero accesso aziende incompetenti. Cosa mai potrà andare storto?

I can't believe I'm seeing "generative AI" and "fact-checking" in the same sentence, but I guess VCs buy anything nowadays...

AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image #CAPTCHAs

Meanwhile, I still struggle with them. Maybe it's time to get rid of them for good?

I was required to change my password by a website. Meh. Somehow I could not generate a password that fulfilled all the requirements (no idea why). I tried inserting my old password as the new password and... it worked!

Kudos to the mandatory password change form that does not require a password change!

This has been a crazy busy period for me, but finally last night I found some time to finish and publish a new #Rust #Crate: please welcome teaspoon, a compact memory allocator for environments with very limited memory!

Feedback is welcome.
