@catsalad ok.

Take the unit in the nice general usa reskin in l secured. Take data set to kolektiva.social

Link to the hackers club infosec team said I was the Elon poser infrastructure hardening circuit breaker fix that brought him down.

Cc to the crew. No idea what I'll look like there, but they already see me and like me anyway

In our crew. That's not private at all

@catsalad Both questions are don't ask, don't tell.

@catsalad well, yeah, you win 🙄…

@catsalad 🔥🔥🔥

@catsalad@infosec.exchange #FediFacts

@catsalad
I do. And I do. I don't trust the people who can't do the first to have the self regulation to be trusted with very much.

@catsalad

but... do you tor?

@catsalad Hah, I have had exactly this thought myself while at the hygienist ;)

@catsalad so the answer is "yes"? :-D

@catsalad Don't mess with the dentist. They hurt you for money. Imagine what they'd do for revenge. 🤐

@catsalad no to the first...but yes to the second? :P

@catsalad 🥗 :partyparrot:

@catsalad
Yes, AND I use a waterpik
FWIW I also use a manual brush—the softest I can find.

@catsalad 🤣

@catsalad I want to claim this opportunity to say:
bamboo interdental brushes FTUW

@catsalad
ROFL!

@catsalad that’s on the unspoken list of things we know we’re supposed to do, but most people don’t do them. Not to say you shouldn’t floss, or make a unique password for every account, but if we did everything people say we’re supposed to, exactly how they say to do it, we’d never have time to actually live. I say take the liberties you can to save your sanity.

@catsalad Yes and yes!

@catsalad perfect!

@catsalad Now I need the flossing equivalent to a password manager.

@catsalad Thank you so much. I just got Dentist! berated on Monday.

@catsalad Yes to both! Just don't ask about whether I drink sugary drinks, or whether I've rotated my tires recently.

@catsalad You can both lie to each other ;)

@catsalad I'm going to the dentist after an... absence. I will be keeping that exchange in mind.

@catsalad I feel seen. 😅

@catsalad Similar to my saying that sharing computers is like sharing toothbrushes .

@catsalad
😂

@catsalad so what's the dental hygiene equivalent of 2FA?

@catsalad because of vaccine mandate for medical personal i had to change dentist. First one always told me to floss. New one told me to always use mouth wash with floride.

@catsalad :verified: Yeah, I'm gonna point out those are not really equivalent. 🦷

@catsalad get a password manager, the infosec equivalent of flossers

@catsalad I floss everyday 🤨

@catsalad that's perfection.

@catsalad 👍

@catsalad
The correct answer is: Yes, while thinking to yourself <occasionally>

@catsalad only for the accounts i want to keep

@catsalad I was so upset when my dentist asked when was the last time I flossed...

...how could he forget, he was there! ☹️

@catsalad

I have 1Password, and if anyone out there can deliver a 1PlaquesWax product or whatever, please take my money.

@catsalad I am going to use this in so many situations.

@catsalad I do both of those things and I don't trust anyone who doesn't.

@catsalad once when I was flossing I pulled on my retainer wire and the glue holding it to my lower teeth spontaneously failed and for a second thought my tooth had crumbled into nothing. It was a completely sickening feeling and it was a huge hassle to get fixed because we were mid lockdown so basically Mr mouth doctor I have a phobia (except not a phobia because it's completely justified) so get off my dick about flossing

@catsalad I keep floss in my purse. Also, passwords are so scattered (on paper between work and home) that I’m proud!

@catsalad I can honestly say I use a unique password for all of my online accounts (thanks to Bitwarden).

@catsalad 🤣

@catsalad I actually have a system where I reuse a password but include the site name or initials in it with brackets, works good for security

@catsalad 😂

@catsalad so saying this next time

@catsalad me, someone who actually flosses: 👁️ 👄 👁️

@catsalad Love that, but I'd change it to "floss daily" from just "floss."😀

@catsalad OMG, that's #genius 👏...

🐈 🥗 a 🎩 to you!

@catsalad 😄😄😄😄😄😄

@catsalad 😂😂😂😂

@catsalad
Yes and
Yes and
Yes.

@catsalad hahahaha!!

@catsalad
Dentist: So, do you floss?
Me: Well, I do a pretty good dab.

Wow, I actually do one of those things!

@catsalad A patient asks his dentist if he needs to floss all of his teeth. “Only the ones you want to keep” replies the dentist. I guess you can tell whomever asks that they only need a unique password for the accounts they want to protect.

@catsalad someone who does both has the perfect oral hygiene and security hygiene. And I would like to know the state of their personal life.

@catsalad 😂😂😂😂

@catsalad I am a dentist and I floss.

@catsalad 🤣😂 going to ask my dentist this next time

@catsalad I wonder what the equivalent of password mgr when it comes to flossing 😀

@catsalad 😂😂

@catsalad I love this because both are hygeine

@catsalad ofcourse I FLOSS. I use Linux on my desktop everyday!

@catsalad Soooo...you don't floss then....

@catsalad So funny! My girlfriend (a dentist) pestered me to start flossing every day once we started dating, and I nagged her long enough that she is now in the habit of using unique random passwords for her accounts. 😁

@catsalad And secure it with MFA, and use a password manager? 😃

@catsalad my dentist probably does.

@catsalad
Dentist: When was the last time you flossed?
Me: Dude, don't you remember? You were there!

@catsalad supposed to do like that.

@catsalad lol made my day

@catsalad Hmm, I eat that cookie once it's been baked properly.

@catsalad this escalated quickly!

@catsalad *cries in I don't do either one*

@catsalad that's a no then.

@catsalad my dentist and her assistant did not have good answers to that question when I was in a couple of months ago

I will be asking follow ups on my next visit

@catsalad both

@catsalad Touché!

@catsalad Touché ! 😂

@catsalad LMFAOOO

@catsalad related

@catsalad Differences from country to country always amaze me. In Germany my dentist has never asked me if I floss or not. In general flossing is not a thing here.

@catsalad@infosec.exchange Yes, I do FLOSS - Free Libre Open Source Software

@catsalad While there are obvious security benefits from using unique passwords, scientific evidence for health benefits from flossing is poor
https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/tossing-flossing-2016081710196

So I use unique random passwords for everything. Got about 800 or so in my password manager.
However, I do not floss.

@catsalad @bosonno I do use an unique password for every account, isn't that the standard?

@catsalad
Me: Do you rinse your suction tubes after every patient?

@catsalad Yeaaah tell'em!

@catsalad I literally tried this at my last dental visit. I got a very awkward laugh in response 🤣🤣🤣

@catsalad no, yes

@catsalad But damn, this is giving me feels.
So, so true.

@catsalad Yes, many apps do it for you.

@catsalad =) alt. do you use a password manager?

@catsalad @chungf YES! 'cos we use Bitwarden (or another password manager)! 💪🏼💪🏼

@catsalad i hate ppl that do bad security, not only do i use good passwords most of them are only known by my password managers

@catsalad No I don’t — use a unique pw that is. There are too many to keep track of. I assess risk & use a couple of strong but shared & memorable passwords on lower-risk accounts — like those not associated with finances. So, for example, my online banking pw is unique, but my pw for news site commenting & similar portals isn’t. It’s not technically best practice but I feel it’s safe enough.
