@aaronpk hey, is there a spec for the format of an Okta client secret? A customer wants to know how to store them. Are they guaranteed 40 characters of alphanumeric ASCII?

There is actually! It's between 10-100 chars

Predicting the future is hard to do. Obsessing over the details of building it is what matters.

What a good question!

I don't know if I *need* anything as old as 10 years, but I nevertheless keep backups of all old accounts. My preferred tool these days is "offlineimap" which makes it easy to keep email on file.

That's a good idea, I'm going to give that a try

The number of transistors in the original ARM1 chip is small enough that you can simulate the chip in your browser and see the individual transistors operating as it executes instructions. Try it out! http://www.visual6502.org/sim/varm/armgl.html

This probably isn't for everyone but I purge everything older than 7 years, and I've stopped using labels altogether. It's either in my inbox, or archived and I search for it. Actually I do still have one label, for @idpro_org.

At this point my main use of labels is the auto labeling rules I set up so that my inbox is color coded based on the project

@aaronpk ah yes, before the Year of the Linux Desktop and the broadly liberating force of Bitcoin took hold. I’m just glad we now live in the distributed digital utopia we were promised.

@aaronpk I have carefully downloaded folders and removed them from my SMTP server at this age. Turns out I have never searched such backups. Not even once. So deletion sounds like the way to go.

yeah exactly, my reason for keeping them is that I might want to be able to search them later. I'd say I've found value in some ~5 year old search results, but stuff from before 2010 is from a whole different world at this point.

Hypothetically, if you wanted to keep them but didn’t want them cluttering your primary Gmail you could dump them into a new Gmail account.

That's something I hadn't considered... like forwarding them all? Or is there some way to move them between accounts that I don't know.
