@npub1dm5…5sqe HomeKit will need a hub(Apple TV or HomePod). It’s also about the only thing that can work all locally, without the devices accessing some cloud API. It’s also kinda clunky but works.

@npub1ewx…y3dm Almost all password managers allow you to backup/export items other than passkeys.

@npub1ewx…y3dm Passkeys make the easy/normal path for normies easier, but the failure path for everyone, much much worse.

2024-08-14 14:15:01

@npub1ewx…y3dm And let’s pretend passkeys are everywhere, your email account uses it. You’ve lost your passkeys because iCloud burped. How do you recover?

2024-08-14 14:10:13

- reply

@npub1ewx…y3dm How do passkeys make things more secure, if any site that uses them also has to implement an alternative login or recovery?

2024-08-14 13:57:01

- reply

Not being able to access passkeys seems like a big issue. How do you back them up or migrate them to another service? If the answer is, you don’t, you have to regenerate them…. besides being a PITA if you have a lot of logins, it means that every service that uses passkeys will also have to implement alternative means to login. This negates some of the security passkeys give you. (2/3)

2024-08-14 13:57:01

- reply

Also, lets say some password wallet decides to be nice and allow you access to the passkeys(for backup/transfer), a service provider knows the app you are using and can block it. (3/3)

2024-06-17 18:14:47

Remember when the “Do Not Track” switch in browsers was honored by sites and then it quickly became one of the browser fingerprints to enable tracking? My guess is that, if it hasn’t happened already, “robots.txt” will flip from a “please don’t go here”, to becoming a sign that valuable content lives here and should be ingested.

If you’re leaving #Kagi due to the Brave thing, where are you going? I guess it feels different due to the smallness of Kagi and that they want money from you vs ads(you’re still paying). DDG has an existing Brave deal, and Google is not in any way better compared to the issues with Brave, just more faceless.

@npub1ewx…y3dm I put a Firewalla in front of my Eeros earlier this year when Eero forced everyone into the expensive subscription. I used the cheaper plan but didn’t want/need what was in the expensive plan. Started looking for something to replace them with then. Too much Amazon slipping in. I will say that they were rock solid.

@npub1kvt…0vtn Is this a general issue with them? Possibly something with the WiFi you’re using? I have a couple and. It something I’ve not experienced, even once. Using an Eero mesh setup.

2023-09-15 10:34:14

@npub1svs…p66u Possible bug. I have post notifications enabled for a user, but I also have some in app mutes for some words. I am still getting push notifications for content from this user that contains the mute words. In app notifications that have the words are muted as expected.

@npub1cmg…rzd2 Assuming the content is still available at the origin, then If this isn’t redownloaded on demand, it’s not a cache. At the very least it needs to be renamed.

@npub1g8e…qdqf @npub1lsl…9c2x From what we know it appears admins have little agency on this sort of thing. It appears running an AT instance provides free storage to the federation but not much else.

2023-04-29 11:26:37

Given the state of the service and the AT protocol, I am not even sure this is possible to do right now, but I hope someone does clear explainer on how decentralization in #Bluesky is supposed to work. If it’s as @npub1uyx…dmcm says in this post, folks need to understand what they are getting into with that service. This is ignoring the other questionable things that have come up around moderation.
