Why not just grab the current page by using curl or wget or similar tools to your home directory? The mobile version of underground has all the weather/forcast info on one page. This makes it ideal for one of the grab tools. Here is a nearby location to me, near the bottom is a text entry

This has been a very good thread. I have one additional suggestion which is to add something you personally know, but that could not be guessed very easily, nor exposed by a dictionary attack. I find alternative, non standard phonetic spellings helpful this way. Even better are obscure, obsolete

Sure, but how long to try each of those against any particular address? When I was still open over IPv4, you'd be blocked by denyhosts after just a handful of tries, unless you also managed to attack from different IP addresses. Hardly anyone is able to do that over a /24, let alone a /16 or /8.

Thanks, Tim. This is very helpful and news to me. Much appreciated. The rainmaker host behind the weather command went off line earlier this week. I've been using that command for several decades, but it's been down for days, and possibly down forever. I don't know. Fortunately, braille.wundergro

I will write this much about rainbow dictionaries and no more. Where security is a high priority passwords for the last few years have been too long for rainbow dictionaries to crack them. The dictionaries would have to be too large and smartcards are used to enter credentials. I think there's

If you want a password generator that can produce fairly strong "XKCD" passwords, I created one a while back https://gist.github.com/Gumnos/fceaf405b0ffd8bfd325 It's a single Python file that lets you choose how many words you want, the min/max length of those words, how many passwords to generat
