"I'll probably get canceled for this, but whatever,"

"Antifa wants you to WASH your PENIS"

"In this political climate, you can't even"

They are so afraid, that they're compared to a political party capable of killing millions (a specific obscure one from the late 1930s, early 1940s). The only people they fear to that extent is usually the DPRK. All I'm saying is that I don't remember the last time a politician mentioned organized labor, but there's a shit ton of fear regarding the blue haired college student. Organizers might want to consider this underutilized resource as a medusa's head against opponents of labor.

Passwords and Online Accounts

With recent developments regarding storyofrachel's accounts being targeted and compromised, I think it's pretty important to show that a major lesson can be learned about how to protect your online accounts. Hopefully you've already heard and live by all that is below in the post, but for those that don't, consider this a good entry to securing your online accounts.

1. Don't use the same username for two different services

This is one of the easiest ways to link two accounts to the same user. Malicious actors will have a much more difficult time knowing all the services you use if the names are unique and unrelated.

2. Don't use the same password more than once

We're all guilty of this. Convenience is a sweet siren, but if one account is ever compromised, it can domino to all of your other accounts if they share the same password.

3. Change your passwords regularly

Even if your password is secure, it is good practice to regularly update these passwords. By changing your password every 6 months, a service breach from 1 year ago won't do much to compromise your account.

4. Use Multi-Factor Authentication

There are three main ways to prove an identity: something you know (password), something you have (phone), or something you are (fingerprint). Your security improves dramatically when using two of these to log into services. Most of the time, this is in the form of the service sending you a text message when you log in. If someone knows your password, they would also need your phone (or a way to intercept your texts). If/When ChaCha gets MFA, enable it as soon as you can. ZDNet released a good article today on MFA so please take the time to at least skim through

Regarding 2 and 3, using a password manager such as KeePass, Lastpass, or Bitwarden can make generating and keeping up with your passwords a breeze.
