  • Is the maximum 24 characters because their database column is a VARCHAR(24)? That’s one of the first questions that I thought of. Sure, it doesn’t guarantee plaintext, but it’s a indicator that it may be stored plaintext, considering hashing doesn’t care about length. Or at the very least whoever has had eyes on this code doesn’t know shit about security, which makes me less confident in the product as a whole.

    The only reason I can think of to have a maximum would be to save on bandwidth and CPU cycles, and even then 24 characters is ridiculously stingy when the difference would be negligible.

    My main issue with the singular “God” portrayed in many mainstream religions is that it’s billed as omnipotent and all powerful.

    If a person has the ability to, through action, prevent great harm, and just ignores it - that is not the type of person I want to be, more or less “believe in”. If you’re all powerful and you allow children to be maimed for life, die young, starve, etc. - you aren’t worth an ounce of my faith. And save the classic “but if he intervened it would interfere with our free will” bullshit.

    I’ve considered religions with many gods, like Norse Paganism - I’m just not the religious type, but if I were, something where gods are fallible is much more believable.
