Sometimes I wonder how it would feel like to be an ordinary citizen in the star trek universe. Every week you hear the weirdest stuff in the news. Oh, the enterprise crew literally found god and then killed him? Well okay then. Some cyborg zombies tried to eradicate us? Sure sure. Now we're at war with an empire of shape shifters from the other side of the galaxy? Whatever you say. It's only about 10% weirder than the real news we get in the present.
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.
Anyone know a good, hackable bluetooth mp3 player? Fitbit recently disabled transferring music to my Versa 1. Any cheap, preferably physically clippable, mp3 players? I guess storage being accessible over USB would be enough, but I'd love a device that is easily hackable to my hearts content.
Oddly, I don't feel disgusted about having a robust list of blocked users, communities, and domains on the fediverse. Instead it actually feels like I have some level of control over what I see, rather than say, "suggesting" to YouTube that I don't want to see more neo-nazi propaganda and hoping it actually listens to me.
I get what you mean. With how federation works I feel like instead of subscribing to communities I can almost do the inverse and block the ones I don’t like.
What is your favourite #fdroid app? Would be interested if I can discover a few new cool apps, I missed until now. Thank you already for sharing! @fdroid
I spend a fair amount of time helping out with technical support questions still. Mostly for something to do and the tech support communities on the Fediverse don’t seem too active
So, I guess Squabbles imploded.
Glad I didn't invest time/emotions over there.
Still digging on kbin's "feel" more than any other, and I'm glad I found a place to park for a while.
