It depends what the law is in your country, but wouldn't it be illegal for police to take away your phone without a warrant? Also, I find it not so probable that any cop has access to the top-secret-deep-state-backdoor.

Ardour is definitely professional grade, but I must say that it's far from simple to setup. First, you may not have the latest version available in you SW repository and you would have to compile it yourself! Then, despite all the progress brought by pipewire, audio config in Linux is complicated and unreliable, especially for this time of work, requiring different audio devices, MIDI control interfaces and VSTs.

I am not an audio professional, I'm an amateur, and found myself demotivated by the amount of work required until I am ready to create music, and finally gave up :(

Linuxsucks community? It got to be satirical!

Oh... It's not...

It could be a place to discuss interesting points, for after all, there are legitimate points to be made. But it's not...

They knew.

Interesting idea!

A bit different, is the Duress Password from GrapheneOS:

GrapheneOS provides users with the ability to set a duress PIN/Password that will irreversibly wipe the device (along with any installed eSIMs) once entered anywhere where the device credentials are requested (on the lockscreen, along with any such prompt in the OS).

The wipe does not require a reboot and cannot be interrupted.

You do not need specific hardware to use passkey. For example you can use a password manager like Bitwarden and have your passkeys sync between multiple devices, including a good old regular computer.

Specific hardware car be use to secure how the passkeys are stored. For example, smartphones usually have a security chip that help s with storing encrypted data.

No, the cryptographic keys used in passkey are not just very long passwords. In face they are not so long. Typical keys generated with ed25519 are 60 characters long.

As far as I understand it, passkey is a password replacement and a protocol built on top of FIDO.

The intention is to replace passwords by cryptographic keys (asymmetric encryption). These keys come in pairs always:

• a private key: secret and only ever known to you
• a public key: given to the service you want to authenticate to. This key can also be seen as a lock that can only be open by the matching private key.

The keys are nothing more than text and they can very well be stored in files on a USB drive, copied, transferre, deleted, etc.

But passkey also defines the process to exchange and store the keys in a secure manner. Therefore in practice you will always use a password manager and maybe also some specific hardware, to automatically hand the key exchange and secure storage of all the different keys your have for all of the different services you registered to.

Most badass ship from The Expanse imo is the Voice of the Whirlwind, but it didn't make it to the TV show (yet?).

Where is the Rocinante ?

I've recently read Cows, Pigs, Wars, and Witches: The Riddles of Culture by Marvin Harris, that dedicates a chapter to this subject. It's a good read, I recommend.

I use Duplicity to backup my home directory, excluding Steam and Downloads folders. It is setup to backup weekly to my NAS mounted as NFS. The NAS has a weekly cron task to upload the backups to pCloud using rclone. I backup this way, several computers (2 desktop, 2 laptop, the NAS as well). The files included in this strategy are essentially my photos, documents and configs. My software installations, games, media library are not backed up.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Looks tasty 😋

Ok, pas mal

Some websites will tell you FF is not a supported webbrowser, this is BS more often than not. You can circumvent this by changing your User-Agent: User-Agent Switcher - addons.mozilla.org

I've been way for too long ! I only knew of Baguette and pizza vending machines. Things are evolving so fast. Today it's potato and mushrooms, tomorrow it will be seeds to grow in your own garden !

I mean.. what she is doing wrong is going to subway.

In France they have this:

Je me demandais ce que c'est la rétention administrative:

La rétention administrative consiste à maintenir dans un lieu fermé un étranger qui ne peut pas quitter immédiatement la France. Il ne peut pas être retenu plus de 48 heures. Mais, dans certains cas, la mesure de rétention peut être prolongée. Ces lieux sont les suivants :

• Centre de rétention administrative (CRA), gardé par la police
• Local de rétention généralement situé dans un commissariat de police

Donc on est d'accord, c'est de la prison.
