  • Thanks for the suggestions. Here is what I’m probably gonna do:

    • Upgrade BitWarden to premium
    • move my TOTP codes into there
    • Get a Yubikey for 2FA for it
    • Keep a second 2FA TOTP option available in case I lose the key

    Then all I’ll need to do is reinstall it, and log in with the master password and key and be good for any of my sites.





  • Yea good thing you didn’t. MSHTA is the app that lets you run Microsoft HTML Apps (usually used for their help articles). Those can contain JavaScript or VBScript code. And since you’re pasting it in a Run box it’ll happily execute it, even if it’s a remote source.

    Generally it would only run as your user (you’re not admin are you?), which would still be enough to make your life miserable, but it could also try to run known exploits and raise itself to admin and own your whole computer.





  • The two red lines are at a right angle, you can connect them and solve for the hypotenuse using the normal a^2 + b^2.

    At this point you now have a second triangle that contains the X you want. Also, since the outer shape is a quarter-circle (assumed) you know that the corner in the bottom right is 90 degrees which makes the two side equal in length.

    Since it’s an equilateral triangle, and you know the hypotenuse, you can back it out with c^2 = 2a^2 and solve it that way.
