Re: [PLUG] Correct Horse Battery Staple

Your alias has got a typo in it. Instead of

`alias randomwords="shuf -n102 /usr/share/dict/words | perl -ne 'print qq(\u\$_);' | column"`

it should be

`alias randomwords="shuf -n102 /usr/share/dict/words | perl -ne 'print qq(\u$_);' | column"`

That is, no \ before the _.

Passphrases are a really great idea. I used to use DuckDuckGo to
generate them [1]. A few months ago I started subscribing to 1Password
and so now I'm using their app to generate them.

I use passphrases for passwords I need to type in by hand. For
instance, there's a password at work I need to enter multiple times a
day, plus they force everyone to change them every 6 months.
Passphrases are great for that. But for most things 1Password can
enter the password itself. For those, I still use long ugly passwords.
