WPA2 uses AES-CCMP-128 which is not efficient (or even feasible) for high data rates as it cannot be parallelized. WPA3 uses GCMP-128 or GCMP-256, which (in the case of 256-bit) is stronger security and also can achieve gigabit level speeds

I do something similar, but I use a bash script with rofi to display a menu of available profiles. I then bind a hotkey (Super-Shift-P for Profiles) that launches the script. I use Firefox for my daily driver, but for profiles I use librewo

Mercedes is taking legal liability for all actions of the car while it is in L3 autonomous mode, which Mercedes calls "Drive Pilot." That feels like more than a marketing gimmick, especially since no other automakers have assumed

I interpreted this to mean that stations would stop offering full-service entirely, and thus they are not charging more for it since it doesn't exist.

It may be a point worthy of discussion: Probably in the "old days", government agencies would pay for ads in print newspapers or magazines or for radio ads. Similarly, if the government (except for members of Congress) send mail v

Exactly what I do. I use an old Mac Mini with an attached 5 TB USB drive. This provides a mirror of the iCloud data. For versioning, add a separate drive and use Time Machine. This provides versioning. For offsite backup, B2 or other backup

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check out Flowx. A while back I installed quite a few weather apps on Android, at the time, I felt wX and QuickWeather (from F-Droid) were the best. Maybe Flowx will be even better :-)

My ordering based on personal experience would be: AWD + Winter > AWD + All-Season > FWD + Winter > FWD + All-Season There are plenty of videos[1] showing the above. I guess it should come as no surprise that it comes down to the v

It is great to see immutable distributions becoming more popular. One thing that Ubuntu does very well however is the 5-year standard support for LTS releases (up to 10 years available via extended support). I wasn't able to find any i

This is a useful addition to Tailscale. But if one is going to manage public keys anyway, just use Nebula at that point?

You bring up good points: ideally, there would be no need to remember a passphrase at all! Especially since the passphrase has to be long and unwieldy in order to be resistant to offline dictionary attack. The thing I worry about is that th

This is a really great user experience. One thing I wonder about is if people start logging in without their password all the time, will they slowly forget what their password is over time? Partly to force memory reinforcement, I set the pa

The linked paper says, "Compared to no reinfection, reinfection contributed additional risks of death [...], hospitalization [...] and sequelae [...]". I need to read the full paper when I have more time, but it does not seem to b

Same here, happy pCloud user (unlimited plan) for 2 years now. I didn't get the encryption, but it goes on sale from time to time for $75 lifetime. I encrypt all my files locally before sending so the encryption doesn't matter for

100 people own 1 share each of a company at $1.00 a share: 100 shares times $1.00 = $100 market cap. Then a new person wants to buy a share from one of the existing owners. The existing owner wants $1.10. Now the stock is worth $1.10 and th

It looks like what happened is employees got a fixed number of RSUs. Their pay letter assigned a hypothetical value to those shares based on an incorrect stock price. So Amazon is probably not changing anything in the raise itself but rathe

My pleasure! Ping me if you run into any issues. I also exported my TOTP keys from Authy and have them working from pass as well (using the pass otp plugin).

Sorry, I can't remember exactly how I imported the key, but what I did was generate new SSH ed25519 keypair, uploaded the public key as a deploy key to github, and then I think I copied the private key to iCloud and then accessed it th

I didn't find the sync that hard with pass and iOS (I'm sure Android has something equivalent): Set up a private git repo somewhere and configure passforios to pull from it. I have been running it for a few months now and it'

This is great advice. The problem is that it is hard to have the discipline to do this month after month.

KeePass looks nice. Currently I'm using pass but I will investigate KeyPass either as a recommendation for others or possible alternative to my current solution. I set up pass (on Linux and Mac, using brew) with two GPG keypairs, a sof

To add another anecdote: I use ZFS on NixOS for all of my partitions, including an encrypted boot partition. It has been rock solid for me.

Thunderbird 91 has threaded views in individual accounts. It is a little hard to enable the view though: In the header bar directly above the list of messages, there is a little "thread step" icon on the left by default, that must

I used to have some hangs as well, but then I played around with the compaction settings and that seemed to fix it. I think there is a settings option to add a prompt before compaction, and maybe modify the schedule. It would be a good feat

I would not say it's common: I'm a native (American) English speaker and I've never heard the word before! I would just guess it's some kind of flavored water before reading this thread.
