take every developer and sysadmin who came up with these policies and break them upon the wheel

then replace all former password policies with "must be at least a 30-character sentence"

there, i've solved it forever. if you think typing 30 letters in a row with no mistakes is an undue hardship i hate you.

I think having to read 30 letters in a row written by you is an undue hardship, hth?

generally to other cryptographic systems. However, since we know that
an algorithm is no longer secure and can no longer be used, it is essential
to make this information public, without necessarily revealing the method

Let me one up this one.

OSX allows you to set full disk encryption using a custom keyboard layout that is stored on the disk itself. If you use a non-US layout, this lets you type keys that are not available on the default US layout (for example, ç or ü).
When the OS boots while encrypted, it prompts you for your password, but using a US layout.

If you don't have the little recovery code noted somewhere safe where you know to find it, you just rendered all your data unusable. There are no warnings or whatever, you just find about it the hard way.

I managed to do this to one of my Pis (I plugged in a keyboard at first boot and set a password then couldn't SSH in because the keyboard map was :britain: but my keyboard was :gop:).

Didn't break anything permanently but I felt pretty drat stupid when I realized what happened (which, to be fair, isn't an uncommon feeling for me but realizing how I did the dumb is).

framing a desire to not see a child OD and/or get raped as parental tyranny is strikingly lovely even coming from you

This is a behavioral problem not a technical one. Technical solutions will only ever inspire false confidence and, because they do not address (much less resolve) the underlying behavioral issue, will never improve the situations.

Also: go gently caress yourself.

i'm responding to your asterisk and scare-quotes emoji, which implied that children potentially overdosing on drugs and/or getting raped is not a problem.


that said, if you want to really get into your post, while i wouldn't consider digital surveillance to be a complete solution to a behavior problem, i also wouldn't discount its use as an immediate tool for trying to protect a child from bad actors while also working to address the behavioral issue.

Therapy is a solution. Medication is a solution. If necessary, involuntary commitment is a solution. Installing spyware is not a solution.

"We'll only use it this time! And it's for good reasons! Promise promise!" is generally an unfavorable position to hold.
