Synapse

Or whole kernels that run in a Hypervisor.

Isn’t it what Microsoft does on Xbox One & Series ?

No that long ago if your heart stopped, your were dead. Now if your heart stops we have good chances to rget revived even after several minutes.

This is another step in this direction. Pushing back the boundaries of death.

I feel like outdated software on the stable distro like Debian has become less of a problem with the development of flatpak.

You haven’t heard of Joël Le Scouarnec yet.

Encrypt first, then upload. Of course, not always easily applicable.

Feeling excitement about this perfectly ironed shirt

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 :(

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 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.

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 !

In France they have this:

It sucks the price is increasing. 58€/month is still cheaper than what my Jobticket (sponsored by my employer) use to cost, it was over 100€/month.

Do I use the “super” key as the OS intended it ? As a Gnome user, absolutely yes ! All the time ! Do I use the Windows key as Microsoft intended it ? Also yes, because of Gnome.

My job title is an acronym, inside the company no one seems to agree on what this acronym stands for. So yes, I just say I work in the Automotive industry.

Smart Tube is so awesome!
