Creating a YouTube account
without providing a phone number to Google
As of April 2025, you can likely create a YouTube account using your non-Gmail email without a phone number by skipping the phone verification step during Google account signup, especially on a trusted device. Recent sources (January–March 2025) and Google’s help pages confirm this is still possible, though success depends on avoiding triggers like multiple account creation or suspicious IPs. If phone verification is required, a paid virtual number (e.g., SMS-Man, KrispCall) is the most reliable privacy-focused workaround. Always set a recovery email to secure your account..

User Admin System Implementation Guide
1. System Architecture Overview
Components
- HAProxy: Reverse proxy that intercepts “/uadmin/*” requests
- Backend Daemons: Set of .go (initially) or .c daemons handling admin functionality
- Redis: Stores admin credentials, IP whitelist, login attempts, and audit logs
Flow Diagram
- HAProxy intercepts “/uadmin/*” requests
- Validates admin session (if exists)
- Routes to appropriate backend daemon
- Backend processes request and interacts with Redis
- Response returns through HAProxy to client
2. Redis Database Structure
| Database | Content | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Select 0 | Regular user data | User hash, salt, level, status |
| Select 10 | Admin credentials | Admin hash, salt, permission level |
| Select 11 | IP whitelist | Set of approved admin IPs |
| Select 12 | Whitelisted login attempts | Track attempts from approved IPs |
| Select 13 | Non-whitelisted login attempts | Track attempts from non-approved IPs |
| Select 14 | Audit logs | Record of all admin actions |
Key Patterns
user:username- User data (in Select 0)admin:username- Admin data (in Select 10)whitelist:ip- Whitelisted IPs (in Select 11)attempts:admin:ip- Login attempt counters (in Select 12/13)admin_session:token -> username- Active admin sessionsaudit:timestamp -> admin, action, target- Audit log entries (in Select 14)

Could an Alien Civilization Crack Your Password? And Would They Even Care?
We’ve all heard the advice: Use strong passwords. Encrypt your data. 128-bit AES is secure. But what if an unfathomably advanced civilization—one that stores data at the atomic level—decided to crack your 16-byte password? Could they do it? And more importantly… would they even bother?
The Physics of Breaking AES-128
Let’s say “they” (some godlike alien superintelligence) can store 1 bit per atom. That’s the ultimate limit of classical information density—no wasted space, no inefficiency, just raw atomic-scale engineering.
