- Comment on The Arch Linux team is now working directly with Valve — SteamOS and Arch should both benefit greatly 5 weeks ago:
Linux is really good at sandboxing and containerizing things. Not to mention the display manager/server changes from system to system and is optional.

- Comment on 2.9 billion hit in one of the largest data breaches ever — full names, addresses and SSNs exposed 2 months ago:
Passkeys are a replacement for passwords, not a second factor like requiring a physical key.
Why would I reduce the number of factors and also entrust what should be something I know to a vulnerable key store.
- Comment on 2.9 billion hit in one of the largest data breaches ever — full names, addresses and SSNs exposed 2 months ago:
Do I need a subscription service for this passkey supported password manager? Or I can just buy a hardware key that can be used on my phone or any device, password manager supported or not. Seems like the freedom and portability of a physical key, like a key to your home or car makes a ton of sense.
Passkeys are based on and supported by the FIDO alliance.

What options are there for migrating passkeys to a new device? Easy to lock you into that iPhone and you must use their migration tool when you upgrade. Or I just carry it on my keychain, no vendor lock in.
- Comment on 2.9 billion hit in one of the largest data breaches ever — full names, addresses and SSNs exposed 2 months ago:
Typing a password to a browser or device isn’t going to make it any easier. Use a password manager and set unique string passwords for everything. If the app supports it, use FIDO physical keys instead of Passkeys

If your uni asks you to install a certificate or any software on your devices, they would have access to your device. When you connect to a network they own, you can assume they’re inspecting the traffic that crosses those services. A VPN like WireGuard or OpenVPN can help to mask it.

The international organization for standardization has rated them for archival use in the hundreds of years. This is not a maybe and the Wikipedia page/link I shared above goes over the testing methodology

They’re a new company so we’ll still have to see if they’re as reliable as some older machines. Providing parts and usb c adapters helps with longevity I guess

Forbes isn’t great but their overall philosophy means it should last at least 10 years if you take care of it. I have an acre c720 with Debian that still kinda works
- Comment on YouTube is deliberately crippling Firefox on ARM systems 10 months ago:
Since Google is both the service provider for the client browser and also provides last-mile internet services; they would fit the definition of a supposed neutral ISP but also neutral for applications and services further up the OSI stack.
Net neutrality is not just a service provider concept but has been viewed this way in the cases service providers have tried to game the system. It also encompasses the concept of an open internet; the neutrality of data is data and presentation, or lack of to the client is defined by open standards, not the desires of any one party.

The web is based on open standards; that’s what made it universally accessible. How does limiting access based on how you access the web benefit anyone?

- Comment on what are the realistic requirements for opnsense? 1 year ago:
I have mine setup on a Supermicro itx-based machine with an Intel n3710 and 8G of RAM. It has four Intel-based ports but you can easily get away with two.
I used to run a Zotac ci323 with dual Realtek nics. Works fine for 300M up/down.
You’ll want two ports, one for WAN one for LAN and most nics will support VLANs if you need more than that. Any VPN or encryption will increase your cpu requirements. If your needs are low a cheap dual-nic Nuc like device works great.

depending on your use case these are cheap and cheerful.
