Weak Password?
Somehow I disagree. My password is 96 characters - there is a limit to how many repeated characters an attacker will try with no knowledge of the password:

Project #15: Electronic Workbench
A year ago I purchased some rough lumber (Sugar Maple) to build a 2m x 800mm x 780mm electronic workbench. The design was my own as I did not like what I found online.
The two table tops I finished by hand - hand planing,. sawing etc. Some cuts were made on the bandsaw and I trimmed the edges with a track saw. The legs I got lazy - I used a Hammer A3-31 jointer/planer, however the joinery was a combination of a router and hand techniques. A truly hybrid table, but the end result I think is great.
What Is Wrong With Our Society?
Between June 2020 and September 2021, Douglas Wright, Jr., an operations manager at Amazon’s Charlotte warehouse, allegedly stole products with a total value of more than $273,000, using his access to get computer parts like internal hard drives and processors, according to the DOJ.

Wright faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. A sentencing date has not been set.

Local Weather Station
As I alluded to in my previous blog entry, I had a basic problem - different weather stations giving me different actual temperatures for my local area. Now I get there are local variations within a town, micro weather is a real phenomenon. However sometimes the weather stations were out by more than 8°C. So I decided to take matters in my own hands - how hard can it be?
It started with this component:
