  • I recently went through most of my accounts and randomized the username, with the thought here being to limit the likelihood of one site being compromised leading to accounts at other sites being compromised. I don’t have to remember them due to using a password manager, so it’s really no skin off my nose.

    I’ll use this as a reminder to everyone to improve your security. Some ideas:

    use a password manager and use random usernames and passwords
    have multiple email accounts, and don’t use your “main” email w/ random signups - I use a simple mnemonic, like “<user>-<purpose>@domain.com”; so “me-shopping@domain.com” or “me-games@domain.com” so it’s easy for me to remember, but unlikely for a lazy hacker to pwn other accounts (a lot of these are automated); my real email is “me@different-domain.com”
    use 2FA if offered, even if it’s stupid SMS or email based; having any extra step can deter an attacker
    

    Sucks that people are targeting IA, I hope there isn’t any lasting damage and that this is a simple defacement/DOS.

    thanks for the advices ! Would you recommend a particular password manager?













  • Alright, Ive got to ask. How do you get started doing this? I pretty much swore off doing more art, but this stuff gets the mind going.

    Edit. Just looked at your site. Excellent work. Especially for having done such quality pieces in a short time. Kudos

    thank you! i started a little by chance, i had done one or two times in art school but nothing very conclusive and in 2020 i saw on instagram artists that made me want to do it again. i put my last savings in good material (pfeil tools) and i started. the trigger was to find a style around the design of plates pionneer and golden record. I liked it well enough visually and it worked well enough on the networks, so I kept going :) I work quite slowly, producing only one or two a year. in the meantime, I make reeditions in colored ink. but all in all, I don’t know why you stopped making art, but if you like it, I encourage you to get back into it ;)
