Or sadists. If you consider that Hitler went through gas warfare I have no optimism that we would be better off with politicians that know war.

If you assume mild burnout, do you think it’s long term the right strategy to force yourself through it? What would your body have to do to tell you that it’s not mild anymore? What if it does? Take care!

On the last ESTA form I saw, they were asking not for all, but specific accounts. Apart from fb and Twitter there was also github, but I don’t remember seeing mastedon for example. Did I miss something?

Sadly, I found ones from colleagues that use 1Password and even to me it happened that I clicked save for password that I didn’t want to save in that environment.

Password leakage is not a marginal problem. I find saved passwords in public browsers all the time. Those with TOTP are much better protected against this as well.

The numbers have to be seen in relation to 250.000 immigrants (2012) that occupy a larger amount of flats each year. Also this pool of AirBnb flats offers flexibility for people who didn’t find a long term apartement yet and home owners who

It mitigates passive attacks: If someone spies me entering the password (by keylogger or in person) they only get my password but cannot login 2 minutes later (TOTP tokens should not be reusable for some time, so even this 1 minute window g

Sounds like the lambdaMOO of the present. To drop code objects into a life multiplayer community is an ancient concept. Fun today as it was back then.

But reporting device A and B were in Bluetooth distance to lost device C. Therefore A and B were close together (like a few meters). It’s a huge improvement over A and B were in the same mobile cell. You can then use the IPs to identify who

Apple sees the reporting device’s ip-address. Obviously Apple is in an excellent position to spy you anyway, but the claim that even Apple doesn’t know where the turned off device is doesn’t hold for the reporting devices: Apple can infe

If device A and B (both identified by their IP) both see device C (identified by hash of key) I can infer that A and B are close to each other.

It feels like that can be exploited in some ways. As a first thought it reduces the privacy of the reporting 3rd party phone. I.e. I can leave a fully charged phone in my wife’s car and track her for weeks while she will have the burden to
