The 1940 US Census records are now public. Have been for a couple weeks.

I know people who were alive back then. It's fun to see the records of your parents when they were babies.

Finding the records is a challenge. You have to go the the government
archives site and look at the maps for that year to see what
enumeration district the home was in, and then look up the census
schedule for that enumeration district and read through the census schedule to find their entry. But once you find it, you can just read down the list to see the neighbors'
entries too.

I found that my grandfather was the wealthiest guy on his street. His neighbors were mostly farmers, and he was an engineer who built roads. One thing that I found amazing was that his annual income was about the same as the value of his house. My income is about one eighth the value of our house. Housing costs were different back then.

OK, here's a neat link. This is a utility to check if your LinkedIn password was one of the leaked ones. You type in your password and it converts it to a hashed password and compares it to the list of leaked passwords in hashed format. That's maybe a useful tool. Maybe not. Maybe it's safe to type your password into this random utility, and maybe it isn't. But, the reason I found this to be a neat link is that you can type in random passwords and see if other people have used that password. It's a way to see how unique a password is.

Go ahead. Try it. Just make up some passwords and see if any of the 6 million other people out there have come up with that same password for their account.

I thought I was clever with some of the passwords I use, but they are all used by someone else too on LinkedIn.

Some random actual passwords I've found just by typing shit in:
fluffy
tiger21
undertoad
monster
glatt1
glatt11
loveyou
fuckyou
skippy
washington
sillyboy
wilding
doglover
catlover
sugartits
suckme
asslips

Maybe I should come up with better passwords.

anh4lslohs isn't taken, and it's easy to remember:
A New Hope (4th Star Wars film) Luke Skywalker Lea Organa Han Solo

I like to use the first letter from each word in Shelley's Ozymandias.

Maybe I shouldn't have told that.

Oh, and I add a 1.

bush is probably too short. I think a password has to be 6 characters there.

Try bushsucks

Correct. Go figure. A thread to share links was questioned when I shared a link.
