@mastodon39882 the protocol is "WebAuthn", however it does not authenticate you (i.e. it does not replace passwords), it's a two-factor mechanism like TOTP (i.e. it replaces apps like Google Authenticator or Authy). https://www.dongleauth.info/

@mastodon39882 This all really depends on your setup. The thing about Yubikeys is that they theoretically can't be duplicated, so as long as you get them back it's unlikely they can be used against you.

Unlike say your phone which is encrypted, but they can make an entire copy of the encrypted phone and brute-force that copy for your information for years after the fact if they wanted.

@nerdspar the upgrade broke iCloud in such a way that made me enable iCloud Keychain to get it working again, which seems suspect. But other than that it seems to be working fine.

@mike @switchingsoftware it was, but they not only disappeared but deleted all their accounts in the process so it was unclaimed. I figured it wouldn’t be good for some random party to register it and start advertising things or something 🤷‍♂️

@mike Actually I just registered that Twitter handle before someone else did and did less than helpful things with it 😬

The @switchingsoftware guy seemed legit though & was working with the original creator on the German translation so it should be good.

It's snowing.

I am extremely happy that @matrixdotorg@twitter.com has responded to the community's concerns and have put in a lot of effort to make Synapse and Riot a more privacy friendly place 😄 — Very glad to recommend them again for group chats on http://privacytools.io: https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/1389

@dump_stack I think I have a T440s in a drawer somewhere...

Someone give me a column I have *things to say* about how DoH is not the boogeyman and about Voatz changing their bug bounty safe harbor after the fact to justify turning over a student to the FBI and about how FB's e2ee is good, actually.

@blacklight447 @dump_stack no good hardware 🙃

@connor I’ve actually been using it on my laptop for months so it’s not actually as big a deal as I’m making it out to be 😜

That being said the beta has been pretty great, although it seems like a lot of apps still are not compatible with the new requirements.

I’ve just been waiting for the final release to install it on my iMac. This will also be the first time I’ve done a Mojave to Catalina upgrade since on my MacBook I wiped everything. So we’ll see how that works out, 17 mins remaining...

@cleverdevil the beta has been pretty solid actually. What's making you hesitate?

Oh boy! Time to install a day 1 update on my main machine because I never learn from my mistakes 🎉
