stark,

Do you have any certs or experience in IT? The ConpTIA certs (A+, Net+, and Security +) can open many doors.

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.

stark,

Crazy coincidence that I was just researching hardware keys today. Why go with a hardware key over a free, open source TOTP generator like Aegis?

stark,

In my research, I’ve found SoloKeys may be a US company. They are headquartered in New Jersey and one Co-founder is in New York City. However, according to their WhoIs data, the domain was registered in Iceland.

From SoloKey’s Solo 2A+ NFC Security Key product page “Made and programmed in Europe.” solokeys.com/products/solo-2a-nfc-security-key?va…

stark,

I’ve tried this solution but could not get it to work. Do I need to install Spice on Arch? Do I have to run QEMU with certain parameters?

stark,

Thank you for the virt-manager recommendation. I’ll look into it.

I did build Kali from their ISO but I’ll give their provided image a try. I do know what Kali is and what it is used for. I’ll be using it for TryHackMe labs.

stark,

After some work, I got virt-manager up and running with kali. Copy and paste works! Thank you so much for your help!

stark,

Any opinion on Notion? I’ve been trying to find a Linux replacement for OneNote over the last year. I’ll definitely give Joplin a look.

KDE, to me, is exactly what I'd hope for in usability [personally] and how it is developed. I love it! (lemmy.kde.social)

I began distro hopping in 2021, with a slight break in 2022, before coming back full swing this year. After a while of trying almost anything that seemed interesting to me, tinkering, and learning about Linux as a whole, I’ve absolutely fallen in LOVE with KDE as a whole. I’ll mainly be talking about the desktop, here....

stark,

Except when you have two monitors and a big in KDE won’t allow you computer to sleep…

stark,

Is the third monitor horizontal or vertical?

stark,

So three monitors is where the real magic begins?!

It's coming! The date for the big release of KDE's new desktop environment has been set.

should land on your computer in February 2024 🤞.

@kde

stark,

And here I am looking into swapping KDE for a window manager.

stark,

Is disabling Pictrs as simple as stopping the Docker container?

stark,

Any pitfalls you encounteres when setting up syncthing? Is that useful documentation you followed?
