Yo thats awesome. Guess somebody needs to port android auto/ Apple car play to Linux now lmao

Yeah that was my feeling. It seemed unrealistically low.

If btop is to be believed my server pulls a tiny 1.5W on idle. Given everyone else’s numbers I’m wondering if that’s true of btop is confused. It’s an old optiplex 3050.

Regardless my main rig which is regularly running expensive simulations is often ~200W so my server and home labbing is a rounding error

Really there is no way big tech can force me to use their app? Ok so you know how the open standard for TOTP is a six digit code computed from the time and shared secret? Well every student at the university of California and every employee at many companies across the US has to use an Authenticator app called duo which uses a 3 digit code generated by the app at the moment you attempt to log in. How does it do that? No idea it’s closed source. Is it even a formula like the TOTP open standard? Probably not I’d guess duos servers just send a code to both sides when you attempt a login. And would you look at that suddenly we have TOTP that I can’t write myself and I’m forced to use some shitty app.

Now I do recognize the point you’re making but I want to emphasize it’s not about attestation being in the metadata or not. It’s about open standard compliance. As the open standard is written even if you have to have hardware attestation you can build the passkeys yourself (because this is functionality all password managers are quickly starting to have) and frankly having each passkey being device locked is good security practice to protect you from credential stealers and related malware. You’d still be in control and you could still sign in to as many devices as you want. You’d just need to make a new passkey for each one if you don’t wanna sign in the old fashioned way with a password and dual factor and such.

The abuse scenario you describe would require a departure from the open standard. Is this possible? Of course. As I said some companies already do this with TOTP. But I don’t see that as a structural fault of passkeys that TOTP somehow doesn’t have like the article tries to imply. Both only work well for the consumer if the open standard is adhered to.

This is actually a terrible take. Passkeys provide a very large security benefit over passwords and have an open standard.

It’s particularly ridiculous that they seem to think TOTP good passkey bad. They solve the same problem: symmetric persistent encryption like passwords is very weak. TOTP solves this my making it not persisting and passkeys solve this by making it asymmetric. Passkeys are mildly more convenient because you don’t have the copy a code over.

Both also have the same potential for abuse, any service could require you use their specific app. The fact that this article makes it sound like TOTP is a perfect open standard while passkeys are a Trojan horse for abuse is ridiculous. If most services are using the open standard for TOTP why wouldn’t they for passkeys? Also not all services do obey the open standard for TOTP. I’m sure I’m not the only one who was forced to install the duo Authenticator because their institution was somehow sold on their protocol being stronger than the open standard.

TOTP and passkeys are comparable and both with doing.

The web app keeps a local synced copy too btw. Biometric is fair tho

The web interface is hosted directly by your vaultwarden interface so it’s not lockdown-able. The only things that are would be the browser extension and phone apps. Both of which are formally unnecessary because you can always just use the web interface. I’m sure if they ever locked down there’d be community versions in no time as they’re basically just web wrappers anyway.

The “want to learn” is gonna carry a lot of weight here but I think and arch based distro like cachy works well for this. Cachy was my first distro and I really wanted to learn so it gave we a working starting place from where I could tinker and replace parts one at a time until they fit my liking. If I were to reinstall today I’d do plain arch since I know what I want and don’t need Cachy’s defaults anymore. Obviously everyone has their preferences but I think cachy is a really solid approachable distro for beginners, there’s a reason it just passed steamOS to claim the throne of most used distro on the steam hardware survey

As a developer I love rust but canonical can fuck all the way off with this shameless license laundering.
