Folks be downvoting facts.

No, you should ask how they measure it.

The Tandem app can be great for finding such partners.

Store the secrets on a Yubikey. They are unstealable then.

Yubico has their own GUI app or you can wrappers for their CLI tool to use something like dmenu, rofi or Fuzzel to pick one.

Thanks to all for the feedback. I have a UPS installed and running now.

Confirmed this was a lie. Accidentally unplugged the device, turned it back on-- no factory reset.

“I only speak one language”… to a room full of mostly bilingual people who also live in (central or south) America. 🤦🤦🤦

Ok, this prompted me to root-cause the issue. A bad cable between laptop and USB dock seems most likely. Hardware issue, not Linux!

Linux revoked my mic permissions in the middle of a call today, on Google Meet. Happened before on Zoom.

I have not root-caused it to see if there was flaky hardware or what.

Seems fake because the GPS trace shows all the running happening in one place. But the plane is in motion. Most of the distance traveled would come from the plane’s movement, creating a mostly straight GPS trace.

Any runner who has accidentally not stopped a run and gotten into a car has seen this happen.

If you run for office to be different from all the rest and win, do you immediately become corrupted upon election?

There’s some truth to that. I’ve had some USB ports fail on phones that were quite a pain to fix or not really fixable at all.

Wireless charging of a phone avoids degrading the USB port through more use. The difference with a phone is that the absolute amount of inefficiency is so much smaller because a phone battery is so much smaller than a bike.

But it’s inefficient. In the 1 hour you are shopping, it’s going to charge far less than a physical connection and in terms of environment impact, you are wasting energy compared to taking 30 seconds to plug in a bike. Then there’s the issue that no bikes support this but several use compatible charging interfaces. I don’t expect this to go anywhere any time soon.

Nice. What do you use wifi access at home? One thing the AT&T box has done well enough has been to provide wifi access throughout the house.

Yes, we went over this point multiple times, including the distinction between a reboot and a factory reset. He said the device does this to “protect itself”. Although I only care about protecting from blips, I think a small UPS may be the way to go. Though guess that means if the power is out for more than 15 minutes, my AT&T modem may still factory reset itself!

The marketing mixes metaphors, talking about gardening, growing, curating… all part of sustainable process that includes plants dying.

It also uses words like forever and permanent.

Having content live forever is at odds with metaphors of the natural world, where things naturally die.

Clickbait headline.

SSNs have been understood to not be a reliable “secret” for years and were never intended to be one.

The solution has always been to quite treating them that way, not to repeat the same mistake of creating yet another database full of new SSNs which would also be quickly compromised.

And HJKL doesn’t use the pinkie.

Pointer finger covers both H and J.

How does it handle helm features that are not valid compose features? Silent failure or loud warning?
