Me: *trying to create an @ovhcloudus.bsky.social account* OVH Cloud:

The user is trying to create an OVH Cloud account with a password that is a gibberish of randomly generated by KeePass that contains mostly Latin supplemental characters and is 32 bytes long.

OVH Cloud's password checker is saying "This password is too easy to guess and could not be used. Please change your password and try again."

The password is similar to: àÇ±E4rùµ6ó§ÄÃ:±Ã$ª<ç5çç0RÙ¸v`wçº

For anyone thinking of trying to hack my account, neither this password nor the one in the image is my actual password.

Okay, so we all giggled at xkcd.com/2347/ and all the memes of it. But today is the day when the flavor text is important. "Someday ImageMagick will finally break for good and we'll have a long period of scrambling as we try to reassemble civilization from the rubble." Today is the day!

Scammers are mostly doing the same ol'-same ol'. Have seen the first of something different. Scammers using images of text to get around regular moderation tools for text. Example (cropped and edited to remove the scammer):

Hey, @discord.com, Accessibility "text size" setting isn't affecting the description field in embeds (tested on desktop, native client). Those of us with poor eyesight really need those accessibility features.

Ooooh. Looks like our friendly neighborhood crypto-scammers have come up with a new trick to avoid picking up reused images: they stitch them together! Oh no! What am I to do? How will I defeat the— Oh. I guess I could just use @opencv.bsky.social and split them apart. Yeah, that'd work.

Wew! Blew away a bunch of scambots today. Some musings on them 🧵: - They seem to all trigger at around the same time, maybe they're a single big botnet with a single command and control node commanding them? - Only two images in the messages today. - They latch onto a server invite
