Interesting, your passwords are safe even if the machine is infected for as long as you don't use them, that's good. Root access makes absolutely no difference in that aspect though. The point is you can do very real harm without

AFAICT, the strength of both TOTP and public key protocols over fixed-response mechanisms depends on actually having two distinct parties, otherwise you're just adding keys that can likely be all exfiltrated by the same threat. I can s

I can think of some players with trillions of dollars of annual budget that really should do it. They'd favor millions or billions of people whose interest they theoretically represent. Unfortunately, in practice they seem more likely

If users rely on your service to redeem and the printing really is secure, why not just print the bill and redeem manually? If you do it for ETH, you could store it staked and profit like Circle or Tether does with dollars, at least until y

I really must do everything at my own pace, or suffer health consequences. I realized this in my teens, so I never held a job, instead I'm always building things without a boss, and without customers who act like I owe them something.

Any information exchange must go through a medium and it's not possible to create one with zero metadata.

This is a design decision that will very likely lead to missed matches, bold of you to assume it's desirable but even that doesn't answer the entire ordeal. How are they going to enter the name, have you read 11?

Maybe they did, got confused and gave up. How would you deal with 4, 11, 12+13, 14 and 18 here?

Out of curiosity, why would you store data on a third party service without encrypting it automatically? rclone can easily encrypt file names as you want to.

Using Google and Meta in the acronym sounds wrong. I'd rather MAAMA or MAGFA.
