Oh and for SSH, SSH CA and short lived SSH certificate is the only right way ^^ (I recommend Hashicorp Vault for this purpose. It also works for the host key)

Breaking backward compatibility would be another issue if devices cannot be upgraded, some kind of planned obsolescence where you need to throw away your perfectly working device for no good reasons. How does that work in practice though? D

Yeah I don't understand why it's not clear for everyone now that the only people benefiting from DRM are DRM makers. It never actually protected anything. The most outrageous example is HDCP, for which I believe one of the master

Possible solution: use your hardware security key to login to your password manager and use the password manager for Passkey login. (Disclosure: I work for a PM which implements Passkeys)

I understand that this person is not happy that a feature that is designed to make billions of users safer, might make life annoying for the handful of people who are using a hardware security key when they use that feature :)

I totally get that, but XAES-256-GCM/11 is in an even worse situation than XChachaPoly since none are NIST but XChachaPoly has at least a RFC ^^ EDIT: I'm wrong, ChachaPoly has an rfc, but not the X variant

Yes that was my thoughts as well, if you are concerned about speed and dropping AES rounds, you might as well do the same with Chacha and use Chacha20/8 (which I don't know if it "exists" but Salsa20/8 is a thing, u

How does it compare to XChachaPoly? I guess it's only useful when you are sure to have CPU support for AES and not having to deal with the annoyance of non constant time software implementations. I feel like XChachaPoly has the benefit

The issue is not resource depletion, but more how we f* the planet by producing / consuming too much (heating it and killing biodiversity in miscellaneous other ways).

Fast doesn't always mean good. For example in cryptography a fonction named fastCompare could be a non constant time comparison which is faster but not safe for cryptography :D (though you'd probably want to name it unsafeButFastC

I think it can go both ways: heavily regulate stuff built abroad to reduce their profit, heavily regulate stuff made locally so that standard is too high for foreign competition to join the market.

I'd consider the being the buying side of a market as "participating" in that market. Vehicles are definitely regulated in Europe (see that story with Volkswagen, an EU brand, cheating the regulation as an example [1]) [1] h

My own conclusion is that the rule is not clear enough. Define "vehicle" and "in the park". Sure it's probably hard to think of all the use cases when you first write the rule. Simply iterate and add exceptions and

The problem with structural/duck typing is that words can mean several things. For example `.run`ning your duck is probably very different from `.run`ning your Thread. I think the Symbol is a way to signal "this is the dispose fun

If this is a priority for you, you could vote with your wallet and purchase a fairphone next time your current phone dies. They provide fairly long software support and always had replaceable batteries.

What does running 100% on renewable mean? Do they have a separate electricity grid with dedicated production? Or does it just mean they just use the same mixed electricity as everyone else and pay a small premium to have their electricity c

Still, I don't have a very hard time imagining living alone (even though I'm in what we have just decided to consider "marriage" and we have kids), that seems a perfectly fine life to me, which would have also a center,

You can live together with someone, have kids and move with your kids without marriage, those things seem orthogonal to me.

I understand, that's kind of my feeling from the other point of view too. I guess it's complicated stuff, probably often very linked to spiritual and/or religious beliefs too, so it's probably hard to really understand h
