Passkeys rely on you holding a private key. The initial design was that a device (like a browser or computer/phone) stored the private key in a TPM-protected manner, but you can also store it in a password manager.

This is more secure than a password because of the way private/public key encryption works. Your device receives a challenge encrypted with the public key, decrypts with the private key and then responds. The private key is never revealed, so if attackers get the public key they can’t do shit with it.

Just be sure that your private key is safe (use a strong master password for your PM vault) and your passkey can’t be stolen by hacking of a website.

And yet you’re still here

This take is riddled with naivety.

Not only will Meta read, train AI on, aggregate and datamine, and correlate this data with your real identity, but when Meta announces that “the easiest way to be on the fediverse is to just use Threads” then all the people who avoided Mastodon because it was “too complicated” to sign up, all the people who are basically already signed up because they scroll Insta all day, will go with Threads instead of spreading the load out.

As smaller instances start to drop off under the load, under the lack of interest as threads grows and they shrink, merely mirroring the traffic of a centralized corporate entity, users start to flock to threads for its reliability and speed.

Then Meta pulls the plug, since “no one really used this ActivityPub thing anyway, it was too technical”.

Threads isn’t about beating “X” (lol X is in a death spiral, it’s only a matter of time), it’s about ensuring the Fediverse never rises up.

See what happened with Google Talk and XMPP.

Processes that run on the same system can run as different users (including kernel) which is used for privilege separation. This can still allow a program in userland to peer into otherwise restricted system processes or the kernel. Every system is a “multi-user” system, even if there is only a single human user.

OP:

I run Arch btw

Isn’t Hexbear the ex-ChapoTrapHouse subreddit that started their own sub with blackjack and hookers?

I.e. they created (and, importantly, modified) their own Lemmy instance. And, supposedly, they’re working to fix what they broke, so they can rejoin with the larger fediverse without losing their content?

So before we wax paranoid about the intentions of lemmyworld admins, shouldn’t we consider that this might just be a temporary measure to prevent technical issues while they bring their fixes into production?

Let’s just wait until LW admins make their announcement before we pass judgement. I fully agree there is no political reason to defederate from them. I don’t know if their community is problematic but everything I’ve heard would suggest otherwise. And I do not know the timeframe or technical details of their supposed plan to refederate. So again, while I agree with you, I think perhaps it is a bit early for speeches.

Be interesting to see how LTT responds to this. Their whole online store is powered by Shopify.

Anyone who doesn’t believe Elon is taking Twitter on purpose is a fucking moron.

Yeah? Then why didn’t all the engineers decry him right then and there? Didn’t see much talk calling him out. Ya’ll just let that shit ride? Especially seeing the popularity he was building?

You don’t think it takes a fucking idiot to be forced into spending 44 billion dollars, some of it other people’s money, to purposely destroy a social media platform because you (and the people who’s money you used) were upset how critical said platform was of you?

As blockers don’t work on Google TV

Wow, I still have an old computer with a “Free Kevin” sticker on it. RIP you absolute legend

It’s the reason for everything happening on Reddit and Twitter.

I think a big part of it was that he announced he’s buy it for a ridiculously over-valued price and their stock surged as people bought in so they could get a slice of the pie.

If he didn’t follow through that would have been clear stock manipulation and, unlike dogecoin, there are more severe repercussions for that…

It’s usually not the devs who make the decisions on what to implement; that only happens in the early days of a site when the owners are also the devs.

C-levels looking to make money are pulling the strings. The devs at any large site just have a list of user stories to burndown.

It’s funny how the biggest fuckups are happening to the platforms that critiqued the billionaire class the loudest.

Hmmm

Only if you never want to use those disks for anything else on that server

Would it be better to make single-disk vdevs and add them into a pool so you could add a mirror disk to each vdev later?

ZFS can absolutely combine both into a 4TB single volume. Well like 3.78TB but you get the picture.

Note that, just like any other method which combines disks in a “RAID0” way, if one drive fails you lose everything on both drives.

But yes as others have said, “Pools” in Proxmox (or, more accurately, “Resource Pools”) are not related to storage but to permissions. A pool of VMs, of network bridges, yeah even storage but they’re not used for creating storage, only controlling access to it in an environment with lots of users (like in an enterprise).

ZFS and Ceph also use the term “Pool” but in a different context. They’re talking about a pool of combined storage, which is what you are looking for.

Put each USB disk into a ZFS vdev and then combine the two vdevs into a pool. You can add more drives into the vdev later to create mirrors within the vdev and get a RAID10-like setup once you have the means.

Risky. If you end up out of phase and create a standing wave then we’re NOT responsible for the consequences
