Newer programs (…) started to want things from you.

Do you remember “Blade Runner”? People wanted to know from robots what they are: human or robot.

Today robots are demanding this from people.

Only two wires?!?

LOL.

nepotism, I think of the Greek god Poseidon.

But that is easily explained:

Once upon a time you have played with anagrams. These are not exactly anagrams, but you wished they were. And so you decided to remember it.

A few word pairs that are tightly related in my brain, but unrelated to everybody else.

I won’t tell them.

I use them for the “secret question / secret answer” thing with passwords. I will not forget them.

When the question is only one word, and the answer is unrelated, then no hacker can ever guess the correct answer.

A small box garage in the middle of the city. Then rent it out for a nice extra income.

Videos in portrait mode. So wrong in so many ways.

In a kitchen you want 3 phases, and at least 5 breakers:

3 phases with a breaker on each for the stove
1 breaker for appliances and other wall sockets
1 breaker for ceiling light and maybe other lights

So when a breaker for the stove blows, then the rest of your kitchen is unaffected, etc.

When I was about 21 years old, I learned that I have a half-brother (who lives elsewhere). But I learned it from my older sister. I did not dare to ask my father what he did etc.

Just like not every Linux user compiles from source, but they’re still Linux users.

Yes. In theory.

But in practise, this is the one great unsolved mystery of Linux.

And maybe self hosting has a similar one.

In a large country, the percentage of mail that crosses their border is much lower than in a small country.

would governments be able to surveil everyone? (Is it practial?)

The GDR has done it.

There were no computers at that time. All mail was physical. They did not surveil really everyone, but many targeted people, and presumably all letters from/to the West.

Today with strong computers and AI to scan through all texts, even hand writing, it would be feasable to do even more than that.

Obviously they didn’t want to pay appropriately for the power.

Note that this is not a datacenter, only a new, empty building where somebody had the idea of putting datacenters in.

Then you said useless things only.

So do you think passkeys are not useful at all for me?

So? Read my question above.

share your personal password

We share a password. Then we don’t call it a personal password anymore. Was that your question?

Passkeys are cool but you still need 2fa.

How do you use it then if you need to share access in the whole team?

which was acquired earlier this year by Blue Owl Capital

I guess this was the part that matters.

90% of the fediverse are acually bots, but you have severe social anxiety.

In this case, it is very likely that you are a bot yourself.

You must be a US american. They always dream of running away from all their mistakes :)
