Was going to upvote then saw them install chrome. Just why? Use Firefox or Chromium

Hardware security key options?

I've been thinking about getting a hardware security key and have heard of yubikey before; but I want to see what my options are and if they are worth it in your opinion.
My current setup is a local KeePassXC database (that I sync between my PC and phone and also acts as TOTP authenticator app), I know that KeePass supports hardware keys for unlocking the database.

I am personally still of the belief that passwords are the safest when done right; but 2FA/MFA can greatly increase security on top of that (again, if done right).
The key work work together with already existing passwords, not replace them.

As I use linux as my primary OS I do expect it to support it and anything that doesn't I will have to pass on.

PS: what are the things I need to know about these hardware keys that's not being talked about too much, I am very much delving into new territory and want to make sure I'm properly educated before I delve in.

Nitrokey would probably be my choice as both the hardware and software are open source( in fact you could probably build your own if you wanted to). I don’t trust yubikey as the firmware that runs on them is closed source so you just don’t know of it’s actually secure.

I’ve been reading to much manga, I started reading the panels backwards😅. Great comic though!

I'm looking for a privacy respecting vacuum robot

I’m looking for a vacuum robot preferably under 500€ and with a cleaning station. My main concern is that most robot vacuum providers seem to need to be connected to the internet. Are there any providers that either don’t need that, where I can block the internet connection or any other way not getting a spy in my home?...

Why don’t you get a shark vacuum cleaner. Honesty those make vacuuming kinda fun( it even has headlights!). You can stick some headphones on, listen to some music you like, and you even get some exercise! And you can still vacuum when the WiFi goes out!

Now if you’re disabled or something I understand the need for a robot, but otherwise you could save a ton of money, get exercise, and have zero privacy concerns.

Because every totalitarian government in history has gone so well for the people under them

Gentoo goes Binary (packages) (www.gentoo.org)

To speed up working with slow hardware and for overall convenience, we’re now also offering binary packages for download and direct installation! For most architectures, this is limited to the core system and weekly updates - not so for amd64 and arm64 however. There we’ve got a stunning >20 GByte of packages on our mirrors,...

I think it’s a good move. It doesn’t take anything away from people who want to keep compiling everything, but now people on especially old laptops can enjoy the distro too.

Though I will probably continue being a void user this makes me want to use gentoo more then it did before.

That looks epic!

Please add the ability to view images with an external image viewer as I find a lot of social TUI apps seem to lack that.

Add that and you’re making my ideal Lemmy client

If you want to talk about underrated look into POWER CPUs.

Motherboards like the tallos 2 are completely open source( except for an nvme storage controller) and they already offer x86_64 levels of performance. The only con right now is software support and the cost.

LainOfTheWired,

Apparently it can also read any decryption keys read by the cpu.

  1. It feels great
  2. Terminal programs run on a potato
  3. They are almost always way more powerful then their GUI counterparts
  4. They integrate with scripts and other tools for unlimited power and flexibility!
  5. You feel like a hacker man
  6. Your IT literate friends think you are cool
  7. You can really do things your own way

So yeah I love using the terminal for almost everything

Of course they do. It’s just they’re no longer afraid of telling us they are

Lolcat, yt-dlp, hyprland. Honesty though most of what I find cool these days wouldn’t make any sense to a Windows user. Like DWM, ST, XBPS, lf, ly, neovim, etc.

I wouldn’t expect logic from the company that now acts like unreal and unreal tournament which made them the company they are today don’t exist. Like seriously you delisted all of it. What is wrong with you!

Throw your phone out. Get a small librebooted laptop and use an android emulator for any apps.

I wonder if this effects coreboot builds like heads as they allow you to use external devices like a nitrokey for verification when you boot

@LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol avatar

Just why?

It’s been really sad watching them shoot themselves in the foot like this. They seem bent on destroying their distro. Which was the first distro I really used on an old laptop after trying a few.

Man Ubuntu 16 those were the days.

People have already proven they will put up with about anything Microsoft throws at them, so they were never going to switch anyway.

Also you still can’t uninstall the bootloader under windows.😆

It’s not the thinnest thing ever, but I find my old ThinkPad X230 very light and easy to use for extended periods on my lap

    Honesty I find it so dumb when someone is teaching someone a new card game, and they use a super powerful deck and absolutely wreck them.

    Like what are you trying to prove.

    There was one time I did that in Pokémon, but only because my friend had never played and was convinced in a joking way he could beat me if I played with my good deck, so to go with his joke I thrashed him with my good deck and then we laughed about it.

    It’s like these people can’t stand to lose to the point they have to protect their fragile egos from a newbie.

    If you play with a new player use balanced beginner friendly decks like the Pokémon battle academy decks or the MTG starter decks.

    I left reddit after a few weeks of getting any useful info off my saved list. Honesty I’ve been happier these last couple months. Now I only visit reddit( with an ad blocker, because they ain’t making a penny off me) to read help and old opinion threads when I need the info.
