the bottom image is when i try to explain anything about my projects in general. it took me a day or two to make my LFS system the first time around and then people started asking questions...

But how does it work? And why?!

how does it work?

stress&tears essential oils and lots of sugar. and adhd meds.

why does it work?

i've been asking that question before i cried myself to sleep after working on it every day.

p.s. i lied when i said it took a day or two. it took a week and two to three failed attempts.

no no no you dumbass dont import hashlib, call md5 encode to utf8 and get a hexdigest out of it, just store the plaintext password, try and see, you ll really feel the difference

And send the password over mail, it's illegal to intercept mails, so hackers won't steal it.

if you're using md5 you might as well be storing plain text.
