Where the metadata goes I think is important as well.

All Signal metadata necessarily goes through Signal’s servers and is tied to your phone number, but not all Matrix metadata ever gets near the Matrix.org if you are using a different homeserver.

I think both are less than ideal in that regard, and I think Briar (strictly P2P) has a much better model for dealing with this at the expense of generally being a UX disaster.

The server software appears to be available and updated now, which they’ve been spotty about in the past. I’ve updated to remove the closed-source part since that is not correct.

As for phone number: Signal still requires me to enter a phone number to create an account as of about 5 minutes ago.

Signal is centralized, closed-source, not-selfhostable (edit: in any meaningful way) and requires being attached to a phone number. (Edit: server source is available, but self-hosting requires recompiling and distributing a custom app to all of your contacts to actually use it.)

Matrix is decentralized, federated, fully open source with multiple client and server implementations, self-hostable, and does not require being attached to a phone number.

Possibly not relevant to your use case, but one point that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is that for many SUVs that are available in both FWD and AWD, the tow rating will be significantly higher for the AWD version (like 5000lbs vs 3500lbs for FWD in the case of the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot)

That’s news to me considering the EPA-rated fuel economy of vehicles with both hybrid and pure ICE drivetrains is universally higher for the hybrid versions.

An ICE vehicle needs a much larger engine than is truly necessary due to the inefficiencies and limitations of mechanical transmissions, whereas a hybrid can have a much smaller, more efficient engine.

A hybrid can potentially act like a ‘perfect’ transmission, capable of taking in power from an engine running at its single most efficient RPM and, with the aid of battery storage, produce any combination of speed and torque that has an average power less than the output of the ICE.

Given how common it is for people to use the ‘reset password’ link for this exact purpose, it does make it seem kinda redundant to even implement passwords on many services to begin with.

Realistically, the target audience are organizations as nowadays most business laptops are being carried between docking stations with the occasional meeting or air travel in-between and 13" is an excellent size to meet those needs.

When hooked to a docking station, the screen size and keyboard is entirely irrelevant and modern laptop performance is…honestly crazy good.

When in a meeting, it’s probably being either used to take notes fullscreen or show a presentation, so pretty neutral.

Finally, when traveling, you can really can feel the difference between a 13" and a 15" when you’re running on too short of a layover between flights.

Very similar heuristic here, insofar as when to use passphrases and how long.

LUKS and Bitlocker volumes get 8 words, computer logins usually get 4 words (potentially more depending on frequency/criticality of system).

Smartcards and mobile devices do have numeric pins due to frequency of use and relative difficulty in copying those for offline attacks.

Websites that are filled in w/ password manager get passwords get the random symbol-laden strings that ‘meet requirements’

Still holding onto my Samsung Galaxy Note9

It has an excellent built-in stylus with a headphone jack and expandable storage to boot. Nothing that’s come out since feels like an upgrade, only various sidegrades.

Is there a non-video source for this information?

What exactly is the point of full disk encryption if the system auto-unlocks on boot?

FYI, your purchases are already thoroughly tracked like that starting as soon as you walk in the store, app or not.

I’ve been using a homebrew solution (https://github.com/mlaga97/qr-inventory-manager) for a few years now with decent success. At some point I need to check out Homebox and Snipe-IT to see if one of those would be a better fit or if I should buckle down and document my solution.

Plugging pass/Password Store/Android Password Store for anyone wanting a good wrapper around git+pgp for desktop/Android using a YubiKey or similar hardware security key. It has pretty good OTP support built-in.

Something something “Looking Glass”

Is there a way to create an EMP without a nuclear weapon?

There are several other ways, yes.

I am currently using a double proxy: HAProxy handling SSL termination and the outward facing ports on one host, pointed at NGINX from the docker-compose file with the SSL termination stuff removed running on another host.

Websockets can be/are a pain, so it may be that imo.
