    Everyone on #powder reads XKCD. Probably everyone on freenode.

    I fixed your link (http://mashable.com/2014/04/09/heartbleed-bug-websites-affected/), that looks a lot better than the one NUCLEAR_FOX posted. Everyone should probably read it just in case :).

    Checking whether a site is vulnerable is probably useless now though. Almost everything has updated, so the check would just reveal that major websites are safe. You should really check each individual website for more info (and that list, which is very comprehensive)

    Just change your passwords and forget about it.

     

    Most people don't seem to care about security anyways, with weak passwords and bad practices. This hysteria over the bug seems rather rash.

    "It would take a desktop PC about
    26 million years
    to crack your password

    nailed it

    EDIT: Some words in the top 500 passwords include: f*ckme, f*ckyou, b*tches, 6969, camaro, pussy, batman, spanky, jackass

    I could go on forever.

    My point is, 96% of people have a password in the top 500.

    i think "weird combinations" are hard to crack... and easy to make
    you just combine those other words like Concreate(concrete+create)to make weird combinations. more combinations:
    strinalloymoroll trolevelatornado Greynitelephone Wooddeadlyear Bonetwrite
    String+Alloy+More+Roll Troll+Evelator+Tornado Grey+Granite+Telephone Wood+Deadly+Year Bone+12+write

    Best password is take the lyrics from a song and use the initials, alternating capitals, and add a !1 or a "2 (or even £3) to the end.
    i.e.
    NeHnHaTnRtTsOtSaWaSaLb!1
    or
    NwHbItLyOt1cThAwBwBtTwOs"2
