News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I'm skeptical whether it is really worth it to trust yet another party that can potentially be bribed by intelligence agencies and what not; or even hacked. No. I sit down once a year and think of CorrectHorseBatteryStaple-like passwords [1] for each important service, where each password is a relatively complex function (involving deletions, insertions, swaps, associations, numbers and special characters) of details of my life, the current year, the service in question and the username. That way I have a unique password for each service and I can easily reconstruct it based on that sort of easily recallable information.
