You can't revoke them if the paper is in the wrong hands, and you don't have a normal access to your account. (Well, they are much like a password in this regard.) It's just different risk profiles. Your biggest risk might be

Does a client-side certificate have a button which you must physically press to confirm the action? It's very important that some things wound not happen automatically.

Do you mean, you don't print these rescue codes which every 2FA thing keeps nagging you about? You don't have a printout in your wallet, or in your folder with important papers? Not even as a secure not in your password manager?..

Processes in a container are just normal processes. But if your container lacks gdb or strace or whatever other tools, you can bring them in.

Running something more self-contained, like a Rust or Go binary, is way easier. But even a C++ binary with a bunch of libraries is already trickier.

If you're debugging a running container and don't want to even restart it to instrument, you can enter its namespace from the outside and mount more directories with tools. Details: https://jpetazzo.github.io/2015&

I'd do like that: - Have a large enough transaction volume, say, above $100k / mo. - Use the contact form. Note that if your transaction volume is $100k/mo, and Stripe takes 3% of it, it's $3k/mo for them. Maybe a c

People in a city can comfortably walk and bike in many cases, and take public transport in most other cases. I do, because I live in NYC. But the US has very few cities proper (mostly those which grew big before that advent of the car), a

Fortunately, YouTure offers the premium account for a small price I gladly pay. I want YouTube to be around, and I don't want it to turn to trash in a desperate attempt to turn a profit. This also frees me from any qualms about using a

If the judge's orders clearly contradict the constitution, it's pretty logical to suggest that these would lead him to a jail. There are various ways to resolve a conflict; to comply to your opponent's demands just because he

Almost literally what you describe: https://createhtmlform.com/ Apparently not open source though.

This style of forms only makes sense when the next pages depend on previous pages, that is, when it's a tree of possible steps, not a linear path. Not the case here though.

At MPOW [1] I have a Mac because it can be properly sealed and instrumented by certified commercial tools. Inside it, I do all development in a Linux VM that runs my editor, language servers and linters, source control, local build pipeline

Indeed. For extra security, post cat pics to three different image boards; only by successfully combining all three can the receiver decode the message. If you are limited by the speed of finding / generating new cat pictures, publish

After authnz, SSH runs a shell (or other specified remote program), while Wireguard just sets up a network interface. I think it's really hard to make Wireguard run something remotely as you connect, AFAICT. You can achieve a somehow s

Fair enough. The difference is mostly how much the government limits commercial surveillance (eg in EU) or integrates / buys it as part of its own surveillance (not only China or Russia, but also many Western countries to a limited ex

It depends, I think, on the complexity of the VPN. SSH allows to do so many things, has so many config options. To the opposite, Wireguard is very simple, allows basically one thing (authenticate by a key, then pass packets), and is much ha

For Chernobyl to happen, the team on the NPP had to do a number of crazy things, and disable a number of security systems which otherwise would stop the crazy things from being done. Certainly RBMK reactors are old and have some shortcoming

To be properly paranoid, I would allow the device to send telemetry and diagnostics, but only through my proxy . The outbound stream can be as encrypted as they want, but I will demand the ability to decode the answer , and decide whether

This is very true. Usually the discussion goes about tracking by commercial entities in rich Westernized countries, which, by no coincidence, are the principal market of the ad industry. (Yes, China exists and is a huge market, but commerci

The usual dialog: — Why are you carrying this around? You won't need it. — Exactly so that I won't need it. (Works well with umbrellas, leathermans, band aids, etc.)

This is true, as long as a day in the field without a working laptop does not cost comparably to a new laptop. Imagine your laptop cracking and ceasing to work when the helicopter that brought you to the interesting location has just disapp

This looks doable. Create a Wayland compositor that does not do visible window management itself, but exposes an API to help relatively easily port and run an ICCCM-compliant WM. This looks so obvious that it ought to have been tried.

A strawman indeed. 30 characters is deliberate overkill. So, thank you for confirming my understanding: keys are just as / more convenient from the ops standpoint than passwords. The weakness is only in short, guessable passwords.
