Çorum

Çorum is a capital of Çorum province. And it's a pretty unremarkable provincial city.

Understand

Get in

  • Bus station (about 1.5km SW of city center).

Located on Ankara - Samsun highway. And thus there are plenty of buses following that road: Amasya (1.5 hrs), Ankara (4 hrs), Kayseri (4 hrs), Samsun (3 hrs), Sungurlu (and nearby Hattusa) (1 hr).

Get around

See

  • Clock tower (city center).
  • 🌍 Çorum museum, Gülabi Bey Mah., Cengiz Topel Cd, +90 364 213 1568. Exhibits some historical and ethnographic findings.
  • 13th-century mosque.

Sleep

About a dozen hotels exist.

  • Anvatar Termal Otel (buses from Ankara may drop you at the hotel on request as it is right next to the main road out towards Samsun). Geothermal spa hotel. Good for a relaxing soak and scrub (ask for a "kese") stopover: preferably overnight to minimize views of the road and electricity substation.

  • Hattusa, including the rock sanctuary Yazılıkaya

gollark: Anyway, good password hashing algorithms are designed to be hard to parallelize, and to require large amounts of memory, so that they're hard to implement on FPGAs/ASICs/GPUs and run fastest on general-purpose CPU hardware (this is what your server has).
gollark: Basically!
gollark: Also a salt per password.
gollark: Basically, with passwords, you want a hashing algorithm which is somewhat slow so that it can't be bruteforced.
gollark: SHA256/MD5/etc are not acceptable password hashing algorithms. This is because they are very fast.
