Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • That’s not quite right. Our sun has never gone nova, and is a fairly young main sequence star. It’s still in the first “main sequence” of fusion after accumulating from scattered matter. It’s heavy enough to do fusion, but not heavy enough to really “properly” go boom at the end (or to have done so in the past).

    While novas form heavy elements, the originating star either becomes a neutron star or black hole. Sol, our sun, is a a “normal” star (though above average brightness) which means it won’t properly go nova. It’ll just “burn out” and become a white dwarf.

    The matter ejected by a Nova flies out into the universe and falls in the gravity wells of other Solar systems. So our heavy elements likely hail from millions of other past stars.




















  • Well yeah without an active session into something it gets tricky.

    I just shamelessly start saving their credentials into my bitwarden.

    My relatives that I was able to train into using it, have their passwords shared with me via organizations. And I’m set up as their vault recovery.

    I also have “parental” access to the location of my grandmas tablet and phone. Which also doubles as a way to see if she’s turned on airplane mode and isn’t getting our calls and messages.


  • Helping other people break back into their own accounts simply because they’ve forgotten the password is tediously frustrating

    I’ve done it enough to start getting good at it.

    At this point I’m kind of scared of how easy it is.

    I’m at a point where if someone says they don’t remember a password, my next question is “can I see your phone for a second” and as long as they hand it to me unlocked I’ll be in the account in about two minutes.
