Plus backups, which you want to ensure are solid for data like this.

This is my issue with hardware keys too. It's been unclear to me how I have a backup and what's the best way to ensure that that backup is constantly in sync.

Plus, is a website going to support it? So many websites are shifting to OAuth, and making it the __only__ form of authentication. I really don't like this AND they usually only support a very limited set of authorities which is almost exclusively "Google and Apple", so I can't even run my own. The fuck is the "O" mean in "OAuth" then?! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ I'm trying to __reduce__ my (meta-)data exposure, not increase it!

Like good god, I don't know if it is a conspiracy or stupidity that's causing all this centralization and I'm not sure there's a meaningful difference. (unintentional or implicit conspiring rather than explicit)

This is Hacker News, surely there's people here that are fighting/pushing back. It's unclear to non-security experts like me how to actually do this besides not use a service (far easier said than done. These choices are often forced upon people)


Late 20s, same thing. I am constantly forgetting words for things, but can visualize what it's describing in my head.


My wife says the same for her. I think we all just have stressful jobs and are cramming tons of information into our brains. Something's gotta give!


Jan 2022 for me. I also have the "air hunger" sensation, but it comes in spurts. I was also perscribed an inhaler, and have used it a few times, but it doesn't seem to have much of an impact.


perhaps try the inhaler for an extended period to see if it helps more over time?


Another Caddy fan here. I've used it for the past year or two since I started getting into homelabs, and it works great.


Visible (Verizon) has a "plus" plan for $45/mo which includes Apple Watch service.


I feel exactly the same way. My main machine is an 11 year old IdeaPad with a 4th Gen i7, 16GB of RAM, and an SSD. No performance issues whatsoever on Mint. From what I recall, battery life isn't great, but I've used it exclusively as a desktop for most of its lifetime.

Windows on the original 5.4k disk, especially booting, was a truly awful experience.

My "lounging around" machine is a 14yr old Dell E6510 with a 1st gen i5, 8GB of RAM, and an SSD. It also works like a charm with Mint.


Senior here too. It's a mix - usually my manager pushes hard on the less in the weeds-type topics, and I push on those in addition to the lower level topics. I can say with certainty that neither my manager nor I are ignored.


Selfhoster here. I use mutual TLS rules with CloudFlare's WAF to filter out everyone but my known-good callers. Works great. Since the only folks with access are my family, it was pretty easy to setup as well (everyone gets a unique cert that I can revoke if need be).
