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)
Matrix (federated) or Briar (multi-modal P2P) are both good options for getting rid of dependency on central organizations.
Used Ubuntu for ~15 years, switched to NixOS a couple months ago and haven’t looked back.
I’ve made a habit of clean installing all of the desktops/laptops/servers in my life on the first point release of each LTS (i.e. 22.04.1). That would mean there was time for the dust to settle and for me to tweak my install/customization scripts from the previous LTS.
So since I knew I was gonna have to modify my Ubuntu install scripts to work with 24.04 anyways, I fiigured it was a decent time to try and see if I could get the install scripts converted to a nix config instead, and it ended up working a treat.
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.
The Walmart app provides historical receipt data if you have an associated card. A few months ago I spot-checked a ‘standard basket of goods’ (food and household items often repurchased) for myself between then and the end of 2019 (right before covid), and the average increase in price of those goods over that period of time was just about 50% overall for my personal basket of goods.
And if they somehow do, rest assured that red states will use it as an opportunity to disarm LGBT folk for being ‘violently mentally ill’ before the ink is dry on the decision.
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?
Something something “Looking Glass”
Yet in the same posts they insult people who don’t have the same opinion as them.
I’m betting it’s the use of the phrase “objectively easier” when that is incorrect by argument of geometry. The “objectively” riles people up.
There is a reason why forklifts have rear-wheel steering (and therefore behave much like an automobile driving in reverse): having the point of rotation towards the direction of motion allows for much more precise maneuvering, much like you would need to do in a larger vehicle trying to fit into a tight parking space.
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.
