How did xkcd predict this so perfectly?
when you look for a pattern hard enough, it’ll appear sooner or later
What if the person who chose 4 made a reference to xkcd
eMudhra was probably required to be IEEE-RFC-1149.5 compliant.
That doesn’t sound right, but I don’t know enough about four to dispute it.
Am I missing news from today?
I caught the xkcd reference. But why olives?
It’s actually an olive reference, with just a little bit of xkcd thrown in:
Why would I regret eating olives? Because they’re salty? Or maybe because I don’t like olives?
I don’t know. Maybe just eat 30 to 40 and find out?
Well now I regret even asking 😜
It’s originally a meme about eating 30 olives for dinner.
No one would even assume that someone chose a single character. People with bad intentions would start at with a minimum of 4 or 6 characters?
This way, in case of just bruteforcing your way in, you are indeed very safe. They would brute force into infinity…
‘4’ is actually a great choice if the attackers would start searching from the highest number down. In fact there are only 4 other possiblities that are better: 0,1,2 and 3. And that is assuming the worse case where ‘0’ is a legal choice. /s
