Ah, @MartinB has already put the chart up on the previous page.

I had a bit of a dig around. Brute force attacks will depend on the method used to hash the password entries - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypt_(C) has some information on that. Apparently bcrypt is better than SHA-based hashes as it takes longer to work out the hash. This is worth looking at too: https://www.komando.com/security-privacy/check-your-password-strength/783192/ It has a chart of how long a brute force attack would take on a password. When Chrome generates a password for you, it's 15 characters, mixed numbers, upper-case, lower-case, and special characters, which according to that chart would take 15bn years to crack. If I'm making up my own password that I can leave myself clues to (rather than writing it down in plain text), it will be 9 or more characters from that same set, so would take three weeks or five years to crack.

Out of context quote. "If a hash of the target password is available to the attacker, this number can be in the billions or trillions per second, since an offline attack is possible. If not, the rate depends on whether the authentication software limits how often a password can be tried, either by time delays, CAPTCHAs, or forced lockouts after some number of failed attempts. Another situation where quick guessing is possible is when the password is used to form a cryptographic key. In such cases, an attacker can quickly check to see if a guessed password successfully decodes encrypted data." If you're trying to access an account from outside, by logging in, you'll never do it.

There are 28 letters in the alphabet? Dammit, I've only been using 26 all my life. I was giving a second a go on the basis of a computer doing it and that being the time between sending and response. It would take quite a bit longer if somebody was typing them in.

When the interval between attempts is automatically increased each time you get it wrong, or where the username is locked out after a number of failed attempts, it becomes an even larger difference between generating the list and cracking the login.

If you're logged in to a Google account on both phone and PC, and using the same browser, and you've got the sync settings, er, set (in the Settings menu), it should synchronise.

Really? On the basis of taking a second for each try, using 10-character passwords composed of any upper-case, any lower-case, any number, and any of the non-alphanumeric characters on a computer keyboard (I used 30 for the number), it would take 12,066,345,950,656,448 hours to do all combinations. That's a bloody long day.

Looks like I'm down with the kids then.

The leads for the PA (5x mains lead, 2x 2-way extension, 4-way extension, 10-way extension, FOH XLR cables, foldback XLR cables, a few spare XLR leads) go into a wheelie suitcase. My gigbag (also used for rehearsals) came free from the Motorcycle Show one year, and holds a couple of jack-jack leads for if my pedalboard wireless dies, a few rechargeable AA batteries, a Zoom MS-60B, pair of Lekato wireless bugs, and for gigs an Android tablet plus spare, a towel, and a spare T-shirt.

But androids may dream of electric sheep.

Which tonewood is right for metal?

Mrs Zero is in a duo with a guitarist using backing tracks, hence playing at set tempo. Their performances aren't lifeless and robotic in the slightest. A lifeless and robotic performance will only be produced by a lifeless and robotic band.

That may well be where he's put it.

I'm another happy purchaser. After measuring one or two current straps, and translating to primitive measurements, I decided that the 42" to 58" one would be right for me. After hammering a 10mm punch through it and fitting Schaller straplocks, then shortening the neck side and lengthening the body side a bit, it got used in my first gig for 18 months and worked well. I don't think I had to shuffle it round on my shoulder at all, which is something I do find myself doing on occasion with other straps. I have shortened the neck end a bit more since then as it was a bit close to running out of padding - at the minimum length of the neck end of the strap, there's about an inch more padding over my left shoulder than in the photo below.

So don't throw away the 2.4GHz ones, eventually they'll be the ones using the unused frequencies. I didn't adequately test the power supply on my pedalboard prior to the first gig in a long time and the first use of the pedalboard, so the Line 6 G50 didn't work at all. I will say that the Lekato cheapie 5GHz ones I've been using in rehearsals have been fine, although we're talking months and not years of use.

Possibly because it has to be a pretty strong little piece of metal. If you insist on having 1) Fenders and 2) headstocks, it does seem like quite a good idea.

There's the X Air Q app which allows the levels being sent to a selected bus to be set. I don't know if you can lock down which buses can be amended by one person though. I've got an XR12 which I am just getting to grips with after the first gig on Saturday. Going through recent posts in this thread, I was idly curious about the Soundcraft, RCF, and Zoom offerings, and had a look at both. No point switching the XR12 for any of them - what did surprise me (and shouldn't) was that the Zoom only works with iOS. This reflects previous limitations, like the MS-100BT and the G6 which have apps only available on iOS. I asked Zoom about this back when the MS-100BT was out and they said they wouldn't bring out anything for Android, so they're ignoring 70% of mobile app users. Rant over.

Back in the 70s they were more like white noise generators than something to pass a signal down. I eschewed them from those days forth.

Being someone who would like to use his 3D printer to the full (or at least more than I do), can anyone recommend beginner-friendly software and tutorials?

Just thought I'd mention that HX Edit 3.61 is out.

I just use whichever comes to hand for both home and live.

Or was foolish enough to use the "active" input on the amp for an active bass. Passive input is the best IME (sample of about 30 basses).

I forgot to mention that Mrs Zero informed me that one young lady had been jiggling along to us so enthusiastically that she jiggled out of the top of her dress. Mrs Zero was also rather surprised that I'd missed it. Must stop looking at the fretboard so much. Sorry, there is no photographic evidence.

What about a base plate that can be any number of modules long, then just bolt however many modules it is to the baseplate?

First gig for the new band, Dirty Roses (rock covers). It was also one guitarist's first gig. Not perfect, but we got plenty of compliments and the audience stayed to the end. First real outing for the GR Bass AT800 Cube combo. It was also the first outing for the singer/guitarist's Les Paul that he won in a competition a couple of months ago, and for my Ibanez EHB1265MS/Aguilar. Had some problems with the power supply on my pedalboard so had to just go wired. The only real pink torpedo-up was the encore - our last number in the set is Sweet Child O' Mine, which we play downtuned a semitone. The other guitarist does that on his Variax by simply turning a knob. However, he forgot to turn it back for the encore, Angels, so as soon as I came in there was a horrible discordant clash, unlike the horrible discordant clashes I normally do. He quickly realised and sorted it out, and it didn't stop everybody singing along.
