Setting Up Your Development Environment with Docker Compose

The problem here is i want to have more than 1 yubikey, so if i lose it, all is not lost... I can't do that with the current implementations unless i present N yubikeys to every new account i make. Which makes an off-site backup yubikey impossible. With my current yubikey usage with password store, my "offline" yubikey can be brought in whenever i want to decrypt the passwords, including ones inserted while the key was in storage.

Also yubikeys have limited passkey slots (100, 25 with old firmware)

nah, i generally agree with you on single points of failure, i just don't agree that it would go on as long as 2 weeks. 24-48 hours i can believe, but at the absolute worst case I'd also expect anyone with minimal competence to have a plan to spin things up from the latest offsite backup somewhere else. (minimal competence is a big statement though). Even redundant setups can go down altogether from a fatfinger or automation gone wrong (see almost any outage from FAANG)

stop a solar-storm

never heard of those taking out a data center, but i'm not highly educated on that one.

A war on infrastructure

government datacenter will be first in line for fuel, generators, etc. A destroyed gov. datacenter would be the start of much more serious things to worry about.

Just look at the Berlin outage where people had to go to hotpots

yeah, this one _is_ a little embarassing, but people who have to go to hotspots != datacenters

The original statement stands.

I still wish other smart watches behaved like a pebble, the interface was so intuitive you could use it to do the basics without looking at it most of the time.

It's like trying something so good it ruins every other one for you. The UX was just so well thought through i don't know how to explain it.

Yes yes there's not a single soldier in all of Europe. Every soldier, tank, and airplane is American. No other military technology exists. America great.

Seriously, I'll grant the most advanced stuff is American but you really think everybody else only has sticks, stones, and water pistols?

Tall people don't choose their height, fat people (mostly) choose their weight.

Edit: also, if the airline can't deal with a certain percentile of the population under their normal product, they should figure out how to make it happen. It's discrimination to not account for tall people

ah yes, the polish that keeps begging you to give them your address for your "own safety"

the polish that can't even delete your entire spam folder half the time

the polish that asks you to verify you own your own email address via email if you want to add an alias to send an email from your own domain (e.g: if you have wildcard inbox and want to reply from one of the addresses you used)

the same polish that gives you no results if you search "one" and the email actually contains "oneword" - you know, search, the thing google is known for.

such amazing polish.

On a very small personal/hobby level: backblaze (which i like as a company) lost my business, moved stuff over to a European company. I'm not a multi million dollar business but I've started to do what i can.

Would have loved to visit the US and see all the things it has to offer, but absolutely not planning to in this climate. I think the US is currently at billions lost in just Canadian tourism?

probably offset by travellers hauling less proprietary cables with them on holidays/business trips/commutes, i now travel with basically one cable to charge almost every device

yes, this is a little tongue in cheek, but i do appreciate the standardization around USB-C

edit: people need to just admit their lives got better with this forced change. (this is not a reply to you, general observation)
