I once walked away from an important meeting after 1 hour of discussions leading nowhere. I was the important technical person but discussions were all about politics, contracts and costs.
They found a solution 10 minutes after I left.

In my never ending rant about @npub1hpw…cd0d, now look at this. Installing like Mac OS. When I want Linux, I want Linux, and not Mac OS or Windows. Why does fedora want to be like apple? Thunking about going back to @npub12ln…vs03 or @npub1l38…ky3k
The big advantage of #Linux is to be able to install new updates without needing to interrupt your work.

some times the called program (not sed) still knows it reads from a file descriptor and starts to seek and other stuff.
Then you use cat file.txt | ( rm file.txt ; some fancy processing > file.txt)
And this is a useful use of cat

how do you imagine the final product will be used?
To be secure it would need a public key which encrypts everything going into the database and a secret key stored on an external device you have to activate each time you want to interact with the database. Think yubikey.
If the currently logged in user can interact with recall data the same easy way as windows search, then it is acessible to every malware you may be running.

ah, yes. That vaguely hidden folder, so it must be secure™
I wonder if they now store the fingerprints also there sonthey can still claim that it's stored at the same place.

people already had a look at it, and it is horrifying.

it's a simple mysql file on your disk. That's all.

no. You cannot read out the fingeprint to make copies of. But you can read out recall data. So it cannot be the same container, else you would not be able to read the recall data.

it is as secure as you, logged in user, can access it, and any program you run can access it. Which includes info stealing malware. Ohhhh
