Ah, I suppose it’s TOTP/HOTP or HMAC challenge.
I am waiting for FIDO2 to work between keepassxc and yubikey. 🥳

In Canada, car theft was a major problem before 2010 until engine immobilizers became mandatory since 2007 on all vehicles made in Canada
Then everyone got too comfortable. The regulatory bodies and car manufacturers were too focused pretending doing some work and publishing all the buzzword-of-the-day “accomplishments” they were doing while patting each others backs without explicitely requiring manufacturers to comply/implement immediately anything. Meanwhile, manufacturers were happy to integrate almost off-the-shelf “children’s RC” car starter pack obfuscated through invisible/non-existent security and protected under dubious industrial secrets.
Obviously, criminals smelled the easy money. Starting around 2013 — mystery car unlocking device | 2015 — signal repeater car burglary, car thefts by relay attacks were known by automakers but ignored as one-offs, too technical, already dealt with by law enforcement to lets pretent it’s not that big of a problem or leave it to the police. Meanwhile, insurance claim replacement vehicles are selling like hotcakes and it is “convenient” to ignore the problem.
The following years various reprogramming theft become known and finally CAN bus injection — new form of keyless car theft that works in under 2 minutes or in depth investigation by Dr. Ken Tindell, becomes so easy, so cheap and widely available that even kids uses them to gain Youtube/TikTok followers.
Car hacking was a becoming serious concern during the pandemic, but now it’s simply ridiculous and as if current automaker included/provided anti-theft/GPS tracking were (un)knowingly made “defective”.
Hence, everyone is playing catch up and blaming left and right on who is responsible for this in-slow-motion public safety disaster.
Brian Kingston, president and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, which includes Ford Motor Company of Canada, General Motors of Canada and Stellantis, said increasing the risk of prosecution is the most effective way to deter vehicle theft.
“And at the same time, providing more outbound inspection controls at the ports to prevent the flow of stolen vehicles to foreign markets by organized criminal organizations,” he added.
New vehicle safety standards have been published (rushed?) recently. We will see if all the panic settles down like after 2007.
Moreover, the exponential prevalence of car theft also laid bare the incredibly poor and ineffective security at the various ports of Canada. Unsurprisingly, it has been a known constant devolution:
(A partial repost of my same reply for a similar thread about the Canadian Government rushing to look like they are doing something, please check my post history for the other thread)
That is fine too. Better be more expensive for them.
However, I’m rather inclined to suspect that they have enough “blackmail” over the course of his life’s proclivity (including some before he even became a judge) hence money is probably not going to sway him that much.
TerraCycle dumping “recycling” items in poor countries with inadequate regulations/enforcement (article in French). Moreover, a insightful documentary available on CBC The Recycling Myth regarding all the recycling fraud many multinational companies engages in.
It is not surprising to see environmental fraud happening so overtly under our nose or in plain sight in front of our eyes when there is little to no repercussions for doing so (legal or otherwise). I would even go as far as to suggest it is currently financially extremely profitable for corporation (and people) to lie about all the greewashing they carry out.
Youtube: The Recycling Myth
Honestly, I am embarrassed with the whole “look like were doing something” shtick by my government. An expensive gathering of decision makers from various sectors, a National Summit, just to say: we are now gonna be soooo tough on crime and let’s ban the toy we just saw on TikTok.

Hmm… I may be mistaken but can they not already arrest troublemakers, arsonists, violent/aggressive individuals and other sort of rioters/agitators with preexisting laws/bylaws/regulations ?
On the other hand, I’m trying to see the silver lining here… perhaps this new law will make it difficult for agent provocateur¹ from operating without repercussions and anonymity unless the law specifically has a carve out for them (I wouldn’t be too surprised, but it would be another major blow to the resiliency of democracy in the United Kingdom).
Pour ce qui est du coût, on est déjà prêt à payer des sommes faramineuses pour les enterrer à quintuple sécurité (et plus encore) aussi profondément qu’envisageable sous terre et continuer de payer le maintien des lieux ainsi que de la sécurité pour les siècles à venir.
Malheureusement, c’est vrai que la technologie utilisée pour atteindre l’orbite terrestre est une «bombe contrôlée» (énergie sous forme chimique) qui tend à exploser catastrophiquement. Je n’ai pas les qualifications pour évaluer la faisabilité de ma proposition avec les technologies existantes. Il se peut que l’idée ne soit possible avec les contraintes de sécurité requis qu’avec des technologies futures.
Cependant, avec les technologies actuelles, pour éviter les dérapages incontrôlés dû à une explosion on peut se limiter à envoyer des quantités minimales dans un contenant/coffre/cercueil suffisamment étanche et capable de survivre à une/des explosions (ou la pire situation que les ingénieurs peuvent imaginer) et de le récupérer sans fuite/contamination dans l’environnement suite à l’incident.
De plus, ce n’est pas comme si on n’envoie pas déjà de matières nucléaires en orbites ou sur d’autre planète, par example les batteries dite «RTG» sont fréquemment utilisés dans l’espace.
Usually, I help family and friends setup their computer to something familiar/similar to their routine (especially those that do everything in their browser). Otherwise, I let them slowly adapt to some new alternative software for their case use by preconfiguring it with them.
Generally, I recommend Linux Mint for those that are used to the Windows “feel”.
Guide: Linux Mint Installation Guide
Video: Linux Mint 21.3 (Wayland) Install Guide Note: I have not watched the whole video, I just quickly skipped around to see if they made sense.
Ideally, try to get a relative or friend who already use some flavor of Linux to sit down with you and help you get going with the transition, guaranteed they would be overjoyed. It’ll help avoid some obvious pitfall/mistake depending on your expertise level on IT stuff and streamline the experience by sharing knowledge.
I’ll skip. Just like how I skipped AOL, MySpace, LiveJournal, 4Chan, Friendster, Hi5, Orkut, Bebo, Tumblr, Facebook, Pinterest, Blogger, Google+, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, Quora, Twitch, YouTube, Vine, Netflix, OkCupid, Tinder, Grindr, Bumble, Discord, TikTok… oh all of the Apple ecosystem, and many other I missed by being oblivious or simply never heard of…
I liked the Slashdot, Digg, Reddit and now the Lemmy format/style. Will continue to move on to whatever I find stupid simple and publicly accessible I guess. I am naturally lazy, advertisement averse and hate having to provide personal info just to use something non-governmental or non-essential.
Now, with the increasing prevalence of LLM based bots, I will probably ineluctably reduce my time spent posting anything (I certainly hope it doesn’t get that bad, only time will tell) on any kind of “social media” and focus on current and new family, friends, coworkers, colleagues and acquaintances.
Pourquoi pas la lune? On prévoit y établir une base permanente pour les voyage futurs plus distants (Mars, Ceinture principale d’astéroïdes, lunes de Jupiter).
Si jamais on retournait au moyen âge par négligence (3ème Guerre Mondiale, Changement Climatique, accident nucléaire/biologique grave, etc.) ou juste naturellement (pandémie plus sérieuse, volcanisme, astéroïde, etc.) on pourrait garantir que même si les déchets nucléaires était oubliés, ils ne seront accessible qu’à ceux ayant les connaissances, la coopération et la prudence d’atteindre l’orbite terrestre et la lune de manière contrôlée sans périr en chemin. Ainsi, ayant les connaissance technique pour détecter/remédier à des déchets nucléaires
Notez que la lune n’est qu’un exemple proche, on pourrait tout-à-fait dédier une astéroïde ou même une orbite de rebut parmi les trajectoires héliocentriques.
Man… I never complained about Winter, I actually love everything about it; the cold, the wind, the hoarfrost, the blizzards, the ice storms, the freezing rain, even the brown slush on the road. However, nowadays snowfalls have become thinner and thinner or even just raining instead and melting away whatever little snow had accumulated. It’s sad.
On the other hand, Summer, I turn into a lazy Grinch that avoids the heat and the Sun as if I was a human snowman.
Everytime I see that graph, beyond the constant reminder of the hyperobject that is Climate Change, I am anticipating the dread of a even more scorching summer on its way in a few more months. On top of that, I also have take forest fires in consideration and prepare air filters and/or n100/n95 masks and replacement cartridges for myself, family and older relatives.
It is sad to see we still, all considered, have not yet even begun to lower emissions and will probably continue to argue over keeping the status quo for as long as possible until maybe, unfortunately, entire cities are regularly assailed by natural disaster in back-to-back sequence and until everyone is affected directly or indirectly by those irreversible damages.
I am not sufficiently qualified to comment on this particular sociocultural trends nor can I give medical recommendations. However, some may want to inform themselves by evaluating the current status of relevant research. A number of studies have found that greater ejaculation frequency is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer.
One such research in question :
Yes, 😅. Thank you for letting me know.
I typed correctly I’m pretty sure, but typing it again now it autocorrects to “C - C - P” now 🫤. Even more confused.
I’ll edit my original post.

Alpine on Pi4.
-
LMDE on recycled AMD systems (phenoms, opterons, FM2 APUs, oh and a recently dead bulldozer fx-8150).
-
TrueNAS, OPNsense on dedicated hardware.
-
VMware ESXi on my older workstations (currently transitioning toward LXD/Incus and
XPG-ngXCP-ng with Xen Orchestra).
-
Concentrated lemonade…? 😳
- You let it it dilute as you go, as per your taste.
A block of hard cheese…? 😆
- It would be water resistant (waterproof) enough to last the whole shower.
That is an interesting thought experiment that never occurred to me.
What‽ Why would such a thing exist ??? 🤔
Testing your electrical panel? and how fast the firefighters are to get to your house?
The essential part at the end:
“ When reached for comment, Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt directed me to Reddit’s API FAQ page and said the company couldn’t comment further because it’s in a quiet period and doesn’t “comment on confidential business conversations and/or agreements.” ”
We can infer that it was not the fountain of money they thought it would become. Hence, all the special exception for leftover third-party apps to not abandon a leaking ship.
More telling is their silence. Who doesn’t want to promote and advertise how profitable they are to potential shareholders just before an IPO.
The Solid protocol specification or anything similar (it doesn’t have to be that specific protocol).
For example, registering to a website or service actually creates a local secure database/bucket/pod where that website/service organizes/sort/manipulates our data and stores all generated modified data/metadata within our local personnal server, every time we interact with that same external website/service it gets access to the database/bucket previously created. (Ideally) no personnal data should be stored on external servers/machines outside our control and without our explicit consent.
