Not really... although there have been attempts at doing this (e.g., Solaris) I've never seen it work out well for systems which could have multiple concurrent users. The main problem is that there are unrelated changes that could occ

The thing that I see happening is that someone remote is stuck in a spiral of XY problems and there isn't as much serendipity to talk about it with someone -- nobody is there to see that you're exhibiting signs of frustration whil

Thanks, I've come a long way since my first C programs in the 90s, "sadly" lost to the sands of time. Earliest I can find is [0]. [0] https://rkeene.org/viewer/devel/vmi586/main.c.htm

I wrote filed[0] for this. It is VERY fast in terms of low-latency (it doesn't even open the file its serving if it can help it) -- although it doesn't generate a dynamic directory listing, so it may not meet your needs if you wa

There is a lot of variety in how different places implement Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), but the reports on compliance are public and since it's an initiative that's been going on since 2004, compliance i

The PIN is required to get the card to perform cryptographic operations, not list certificates -- although the certificates aren't a secret, within DOD there's sites like DOD411 to get anyone's certificate, though I haven&#x2

That doesn't stop some people from installing other middleware like ActivClient (although it will let you change your PIN; no idea if this is in the Windows PIV driver since I mostly use my own (CACKey) and don't really use Window

I started out as a federal civil servant in the late 90s working for the Navy and switched to contracting shortly thereafter, working at mostly US DOD customers (Navy, Army, USSOCOMHQ), but also DHS (HQ and all components minus SS and CG).

Within the DOD the most common solutions are SSH keys using the CAC, Kerberos with PKINIT, or using some type of intermediate systems to handle the auth like CA PAM. There can still be a root password for emergencies, but it wouldn't b

PIV and CAC (DOD, but is now a PIV with CAC-NG) has been around for a very long time. Passwords haven't been permitted in the US Government since a short time after the signing of HSPD-12 in 2004.

It's not just the font size but also the choice of font, with no way to specify a font that is readable.

Yeah, it's not really usable without being able to configure a reasonable font.

I think a lot of times customers are expecting the service provider to provide adequate customer service as part of the service they are purchasing and have no reason to suspect it will be sub-par until they are already paying for it. This

We asked our network representative and they said we could not automatically dispute these transactions, so because of this we have to add overdraft fees to our product which otherwise never allows your balance to go negative.

A bit off-topic from the original thread, but if you use a Debit card (only validated on the Visa network) it's possible for a merchant to issue an "Advice" without any kind of Authorization (or even after a failed Authorizat

I assumed you understood we reached the end of the usefulness of your hypothetical to the original analogy since, as you said, the tools can be broken in different ways. I tried to introduce a scenario that was more applicable and less the

It's not clear because it is false and I believe I can produce a proof if you are willing to validate that you accept my premise. Your CPU, right now, has known defects. It will produce the wrong outputs for some inputs. It seems to

I didn't come up with it nor ask anyone to defend it. I asked a different question about usefulness, and about what it means to him for something to be "broken". My point is that the attempt to critique it was a failure. It

Although this ONLY holds if you're using HTTPS -- which is a separate thing, so maybe they're considering that you might not use HTTPS.

So to continue the analogy, if the staple gun is broken and it requires you to do more than a working (but non-existent) staple gun BUT less work than doing the affixment without the broken staple gun, you would or would not use it ?

The only advantage is that it validates that the send composed the message in the case without a shared secret (which is not what the article appears to advocate for). A shared secret alone, or an HMAC based on a shared secret, just means a

If a broken tool is useful, do you not use it because it is broken ? Overpowered LLMs like GPT-4 are both broken (according to how you are defining it) and useful -- they're just not the idealized version of the tool.
