"This release includes major improvements to performance, specifically optimizations of database queries. Special thanks to @phiresky, @ruud, @sunaurus and many others for investigating these."

Hehe, lemmy.world doing some stress testing for the entire lemmy project.

How numbers are pronounced.
In German the number 185 is pronounced as "hundred-five-and-eighty" (hundertfünfundachtzig), the digits are not spoken in order of their magnitude.
Not terrible, not great.

The security of a fully random password depends on the number of available symbols (alphabet) and the length.
The strength of the password is simply symbolcount^length.

For a conventional password the symbols/alphabet are characters, numbers and special characters.
For a mnemonic the symbols are simply full words and the "alphabet" is a list with a couple thousand words.

Mnemonic passwords are secure because of their large alphabet, and easy to remember because of the lower length (in symbols) and because human brains are good at coming up with associations (usually stories) for random words.
If you want to generate your own mnemonic password you can try diceware.
With diceware you roll a few dice to select random words from a list.

OpenSuse Slowroll (rolling release with constant updates plus an update burst every two months)

• Prefer rolling release over fixed release.
• I do like OpenSuse in general.
• I install a lot of packages and want to stay up to date (security & GUI notifications). With OpenSuse Tumbleweed I have to install a couple gigabytes of updates every week. It's not ideal for me.
• Too impatient to wait for the proper release of Slowroll.

Captchas depended on websockets which were removed.

"Note that captcha uuids and answers were stored in-memory in the websocket server which is removed now, so its necessary to add a new database table for captchas."
