- Comment on Why isn't using a key file the most common way to log into self-hosted servers? 2 days ago:
ssh is a protocol that is used to log in to a computer remotely. Servers are usually administrated not by plugging a keyboard and monitor into the server, but from another machine via ssh. You can configure ssh to allow login with the same username+password you would use locally, but it is common practice to only allow authentication with an ssh key.
ssh keys allow for much higher entropy like you suggested. They are also asymmetric, and the private key can be password-protected or stored on a smartcard.
- Comment on Make Microsoft's CEO cry by installing Chrome's 'Microslop' extension 2 days ago:
If you rely on some specific piece of software, set up a dual boot and only boot into windows to use that software. Put your Linux installation onto a separate (encrypted) partition.
We’re never going to solve the chicken-and-egg problem of user adoption and software availability with the mentality to only switch once everything works 100%.
I know computers are hard for normies, but I believe that’s only because they’ve been using dumbed-down walled-garden stuff for too long. And just like it is important to know how to cook and do basic repairs around the house, a basic grasp of computers should be the standard in today’s world.

What’s wrong with VSCode? There’s an open source version (codium) which works just as well for me.

What does this have to do with security? Do they expect evil maid attacks on the PS5 people carry around to do their online banking on?

Make it mandatory to institute a 5 year trial phase, during which encryption is broken only for politicians and public servants

That’s one of the major restrictions for casual use, yes. But if these measures are actually implemented, it might be worth it to have a second phone (or some other device) just for online banking

I’m curious, does EFT work on Linux now? I had a workaround with a windows VM years ago, but the anti-cheat decided that was evil one day and wouldn’t let me play anymore
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows 2 months ago:
No, that was my setup for some time. KVM with PCI-e passthrough to pass the entire GPU to a windows VM. Worked great, until EAC started banning me for using a VM.

Depends on when you start work. If I get to work at 8, it’s tough to get to lunch at 12 without a breakfast. If I get up an hour later, it’s fine

Zippo sucks. If you don’t wear it on your body, it will be too cold and won’t work. And if you leave it lying around for some time, the gas will evaporate and it’ll be empty when you want to use it
