Folder/subfolders work just fine… when you make folder ‘a’… you can add subfolder b by typing ‘a/b’

I use a yubikey on bitwarden (vaultwarden) just fine…
Custom protected fields exist.
And you can always hide it in a vpn. - Comment on [HN] the US navy sold 2 obsolete aircraft carriers to scrap dealers for a cent each 1 year ago:
Standard procedure honestly… every post has a scrap yard of sorts (that seems to always be run by civilians, DRMO)

If you want to move goalposts… Then fine. But I won’t engage in that bullshit.
It IS trivial to implement. It is literally a non-zero thing they could have implemented but chose not to. That’s all I’ve claimed.
Go strawman someone else.
If you think that IP blocking stops credential stuffing you really are out of your depth.
You can slow it way the fuck down though if you do it right. But nah, I’m out of my depth supposedly. You sound like a fucking tool.
- Comment on User data stolen from genetic testing giant 23andMe is now for sale on the dark web 1 year ago:
It is not trivial
And yet I just explained to you two ways to do it real easily that I’ve implemented into several platforms. It has been trivial.
Sending emails for suspicious login is 2fa, by the way.
Only if you actually block login until link is clicked in email. Just sending an email is not 2fa. You don’t need to specifically block the user, a notification would be sufficient for many users to understand “Wait… I didn’t login, I should change my password immediately.”
- Comment on User data stolen from genetic testing giant 23andMe is now for sale on the dark web 1 year ago:
The only thing 23andme could have done to prevent this is 2fa.
Not true. It’s easy to detect hundreds of thousands of logins from VPN locations. Or parse that someone is logging in from thousands of miles away from their profile location and send an email. There’s many simple things to implement that they could have done to protect your account with them. They took the easy route.
While the User does bare most of the blame, claiming that 23andme couldn’t do anything else is strictly wrong.

And websites the have to protect access to their resources. You don’t have an innate right to unimpeded access to someone else’s server.

It’s also well within the users purview to complain about it… Also for people to figure out how to rip it out of a system as well.
- Comment on Phones should have FM radio again 1 year ago:
Ah, got it. I misunderstood your comment a little bit. Makes you wonder what they gain from it at all then no?
- Comment on Phones should have FM radio again 1 year ago:
Old SoC may have had this functionality
Modern SoCs still have it…
Further we’ve moved to Software Defined Radios in general… So it’s all programmable.
- Comment on Phones should have FM radio again 1 year ago:
I have an SiliconLabs HDHR attached to my Plex server. I have OTA tv available for streaming to all my devices in my household (along with DVR capabilities of course). When the kids fight about what to watch (they’re not allowed Youtube) I just put on normal TV and let them stew on it.

I’ve had family win and go to the event. I don’t recall what they thought about the event or which bands were there… But the event definitely happened.
- Comment on Phones should have FM radio again 1 year ago:
Because if the cell networks fail, right now there’s no backup method to get crucial information to everyone’s hands.
Radio are an easy secondary, really long range mechanism to get information INTO disaster stricken areas when normal means of communications have failed.
- Comment on Microsoft Defender Flags Tor Browser as a Trojan and Removes it from the System - Deform 1 year ago:
Only if you have another place to hold it temporarily.
You can’t really install linux onto an NTFS drive. So you have to wipe the NTFS partition and start over with something like EXT4… that will kill the games.
- Comment on Phones should have FM radio again 1 year ago:
No idea?
but to break the points apart a bit…
FM access would cut down on mobile data usage
FM radio is something like 54kHz. Simplisticly we can say that would be 54kbps… let’s even say it’s double that to account for overhead. so 108kbps. That’s just about 1 GB/day. That’s not really an amount that carriers sell anymore… Nor do people normally listen to music 24hours a day.
up-to-the-minute weather reports and automated alerts
Only if you’re listening… and our phones do automated alerts already… as long as those systems are working. And considering that FM is a completely different well documented thing… it’s worth keeping it around.
are broadcasted at 162.400, which means you need specialized radios to pick up the stations…
Nah, FM has been built into chipsets for well over a decade at this point. Most radios even still have them today. Just disconnected. But even if it wasn’t available… Most phones at this point use RTL-SDR radios… software define radios means you can just program it to FM frequencies and it will work.
maybe an external antenna could use the shield or one of the pins on the phone’s charging port, or wired USB-C headphones and 3.5mm adapters could be updated to work as antennas…
Or even the wireless contacts for Qi charging and NFC… Just disable the radio app when these things are actually in use…
There could also just be an adapter that connects to the phone and contains all the required hardware…
No need, the vast majority of phones already have what you’d need. Just never connected/used by software for some reason.

You just have to make the request when you’re in the EU…
But they can’t prove I’m not… and I have very strong evidence that I could be with the passport. It’s simple to say that you use a USA based VPN as well. Ultimately you don’t have to unconditionally prove that your in the EU… most companies don’t want to deal with the hassle.
- Comment on Unity deleted these terms, don't let them get out 1 year ago:
While I know nothing of the numbers… This was my understanding of it as well. That they’d make probably just as much if not more money because of the captive groups.
However, while they might be captive now… Doesn’t mean they’ll be captive forever. VMWare is going to lose the entire market over this very rapidly, then the rest slowly after.

It will cost them in future earnings… Companies won’t want to work on their platform if these policies are still in place… and many will never want to work with them again since they’ve shown their hand.

Sounds a bit odd… What networking class requires VM platform usage?

You’re hurt me right in the vSphere.
What a lot of people at these companies don’t understand is that other options existing means people will find a way to continue without you… The more that happens, the larger the community… the faster you fail.
When Broadcom announced buying VMWare, literally all the IT subreddits in unison looked for other alternatives. We’re on Proxmox now, it’s been a better product that VMWare in literally every way.

- Comment on [VERGE] We just lost 3TB of data on a SanDisk Extreme SSD 1 year ago:
that replacement fail with the same issue
They said on the 4TB that singular files were being dropped/lost (likely hitting some magical number of files and oldest one falls out of controller memory or something stupid like that). This new one has the entire drive inaccessible completely. The 4TB makes sense as a firmware issue that was patched. The 3TB one sounds more like a controller failure IMO… I would call these different modes of failure. But there’s not a single shred of evidence that they’ve even looked at any of that. That’s my problem. There’s no journalistic work here except “see drive dead”. And if the 3TB failure is as I described… then it’s literally a “it happens”.
- Comment on [VERGE] We just lost 3TB of data on a SanDisk Extreme SSD 1 year ago:
What a terrible article.
“We had one drive failure… Everyone take out the pitchforks!”
Yeah no. Drive failures happen. Period. backblaze.com/…/backblaze-drive-stats-for-q1-2023…
I understand that there was a firmware failure in the 4TB drives… but come on, there’s no journalistic integrity here to even CHECK what firmware the device was on? Nothing at all here substantial.
Further, you should be practicing 3-2-1 backups if the data is that important. It shouldn’t matter to you that one storage failed.
