Not a true greentext but I hope I have captured the spirit of it. (First time I wrote smth like this, don't be harsh on me. >w<)

I don't disagree, sorry if it sounded like I did.

There's just a theoretical weakness since the base word lists are usually public knowledge and bruteforcers could (and probably already have) optimize for that.

The advantages of a passphrase outweigh though as you mentioned. An attacker would first need your repo anyway.

I'm adding obscure memes and anime references to my passphrases. Good luck bruteforcing that

Separating some of the words with random symbols also isn't too hard to remember and no chance that can be bruteforced.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
