opinion time: whatā€™s the appropriate number of hardware tokens / HSMs to have?
(smartcards, yubikeys, hard u2f tokens, pkcs11/15/piv-card, whatever term you use for your variant~)

bonus: where do you store your backups? (feel free to skip if this bothers your opsec)

personally, I have four keys and I keep them all just over there, completely unattended, just under that heavy wire basket propped up by a stick

@irenes I currently get my spread like this:

  1. in a bracelet I wear when not showering
  2. purse thatā€™s usually carried with me
  3. fireproof safe at home
  4. (admittedly slightly outdated) one sealed safe-deposit-style with a legal firm who can get it to me if I need it

@irenes I used to do the stays-in-the-computer thing (I had a bunch of YK nanos for that), but Iā€™ve decommissioned those as their key generation became dated (didnā€™t support EC algorithms)

Iā€™m trying to go for NFC reader + the one I wear on my wrist as a replacement for convenience ones

ktemkin,
@ktemkin@chaos.social avatar

@irenes yeah; thatā€™s a reasonable idea ā€” though I canā€™t, as everyone Iā€™d trust to do this with either lives with me or in the same building complex

is it normal for a polycule to have its own SSO?

signal integrity is my passion

@gsuberland you need to put a note encouraging the user to cut their ground plane in half so the return currents don't overlap*

(*because they've been shot into the atmosphere)

kate secret: weā€™re the terrible intersection of ā€œhave to have everything with me in our purseā€-mom-style and ā€œsurvival lesbianā€-style

@rf correct

@ktemkin@chaos.social avatar

(and yes, there are lockpicks in there, though theyā€™re difficult to see)

@rf its the old GPD Pocket 2 (the only one in a reasonable form factor for that; the pocket 3 is much bigger)

okay it turns out I've been giving this tool a hard time, but those fields are just badly named, and exist because they need to comply with the vCard format

ktemkin, (edited )
@ktemkin@chaos.social avatar

if they'd only just called this "vCard field mappings" or something similar, then I'd have known to blame vCard >.>

(why the hell does vCard have a sex field? that... doesn't actually mean anything?)

i wonder if the eu is going to require different distributions of systemd shipped without systemd-browserd

ktemkin,
@ktemkin@chaos.social avatar

update: apparently there wonā€™t be a ruling on systemd-browserd until the debate on systemd-copilot finishes

oh my gods; this form just keeps giving

don't identify with the concept of gender? sorry, but you need at least one gender in your account

ktemkin,
@ktemkin@chaos.social avatar

@uint8_t iā€™m trying, but they disable paste in the gender field

ktemkin,
@ktemkin@chaos.social avatar

fuck, itā€™s on their feature list

ktemkin,
@ktemkin@chaos.social avatar

@passenger look idk about you but iā€™m sick and tired of blue decks that just run me entirely out of gender

hey, just a reminder: if you have software you like, archive it locally! self host it, if thatā€™s appropriate! send a copy to the internet archive! burn it onto archival media and bury it in a time capsule in your backyard, if thatā€™s your thing!

donā€™t let it die when some megacorp manages to bully a small group until they canā€™t afford legal defenses

tired: have 2+ security keys ā€” one in use, and several backups ā€” and rotate them out as they stop working

wired: have one security key. rotate out your identity when it stops working.

this is totally some rad enbyā€™s rule for pronouns, isnā€™t it
