Looks like this happened:

OpenSSH server has had built-in support for WebAuthn keys since 8.2.

According to Framework support, there are no supported models as of yet.

I have a Framework 13 AMD running Linux Mint. It works great and I love it. Modular IO ports are super nifty.

Here are the downsides as I see them:

1. Price
2. No touch screen
3. No wifi 7

I expect 2&3 will come in the future and I can upgrade! The fact that I can upgrade rather than throw it away in the future offsets 1.

What type of key do you have. Yubikey 5 supports multiple protocols including some you can use with SSH:

• Multi-protocol: YubiKey 5 Series is the most versatile security key supporting multiple authentication protocols including FIDO2/WebAuthn (hardware bound passkey), FIDO U2F, Yubico OTP, OATH-TOTP, OATH-HOTP, Smart card (PIV) and OpenPGP.

SSH would need to implement webauthn to support FIDO.

“Altermagnetic materials, first theorized in 2022, have a structure that sits somewhere in between. Each individual magnetic moment points in the opposite direction as its neighbor, as in an antiferromagnetic material. But each unit is slightly twisted relative to this adjacent magnetic atom, resulting in some ferromagnetic-like properties.

Altermagnets, therefore, combine the best properties of both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials. “The benefit of ferromagnets is that we have an easy way of reading and writing memory using these up or down domains,” study co-author Alfred Dal Din, a doctoral student also at the University of Nottingham, told Live Science. “But because these materials have a net magnetism, that information is also easy to lose by wiping a magnet over it.””

The IRS does not know how much you owe. They can figure it out. This is what an audit is. They assume most people are honest and most people are. They use statistics to decide who to audit.

Do not get me wrong it is a stupid system. But there is no need to exaggerate how stupid it is.

Does the salary take into account inflation?

Sometimes it helps to feel bad for someone instead of being angry at them. I think of Gandalf’s quote from LOTR:

“Frodo: ‘It’s a pity Bilbo didn’t kill Gollum when he had the chance.’
Gandalf: 'Pity? It’s pity that stayed Bilbo’s hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment.”

Finished season one of Pantheon. It has Neal Stephenson vibes.

So what’s the deal with the crows?

Awk is a turing complete programming language.

While there is no system for monitoring the companies, experts can reverse engineer the apps and debug the devices. Thusfar, experts who have done this have found no evidence of these types of activities. All the evidence is anecdotal. I believe if this was a widespread practice, evidence would have been uncovered by now and we would have been reported on widely.

The implication here is really scarier than if they were listening to our conversations. It means they do not need to listen to our conversations. The telemetry they already have is so good that in many cases they know what you will say with such high degrees of accuracy that people assumed that they had to be spying on their conversations.

Either way, we need to demand an end to this unprecedented mass surveillance.

From the “Financial Advice Index Card”:

1. Max your 401(k) or equivalent employee contribution.

2. Buy inexpensive, well-diversified mutual funds such as Vanguard Target 20xx funds.

3. Never buy or sell an individual security. The person on the other side of the table knows more than you do about this stuff.

4. Save 20% of your money.

5. Pay your credit card balance in full every month.

6. Maximize tax-advantaged savings vehicles like Roth, SEP and 529 accounts.

7. Pay attention to fees. Avoid actively managed funds.

8. Make Financial Advisors commit to the fiduciary standard.

9. Promote social insurance programs to help people when things go wrong.

Hope you’re doing ok.

By just being a kind and decent person. I mostly get by on the kindness of strangers. I make a point of paying it forward.
