This is a Medium blog on an nytimes.com subdomain, so perhaps you've hit an account or browser specific limit. I'm not getting a paywall in or out of private browsing mode, you may be able to get around it easily.

While I like my Yubikeys, they definitely aren't more convenient or intuitive for people who aren't accustomed to using multifactor authentication already. The webauthn spec [0] includes support for "biometric authenticators&

It's only a stupid premise if you take the feature for face value and assume that the people behind it expected it to magically solve all of the tracking problems on the web. Alternatively, consider that it's a great opportunity f

There's a similar effort in the Python / Django world called Jazzband ( https://jazzband.co/ ). This model will probably become more and more necessary as maintainers need to move on from projects for whatever reaso

There are some "blessed" recommendations at https://packaging.python.org/guides/tool-recommendations/ (the Python Packaging Authority is about as official as you're going to get), but this boils d

I think plenty of people in the Python community will earnestly say that while acknowledging that there isn't universal agreement on what that one good way is. It's an ideal to strive for, not a statement of fact.

The PyPA team has done a lot over the past five years. The changelog for pip ( https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/news/ ) contains quite a bit, PyPI was migrated to Warehouse, and there have been several PEPs focuse

I quite liked Vienna ( http://github.com/ViennaRSS/vienna-rss ) while I had a Mac. It has options to run both as a standalone application and synced with various online services.

I was more thinking of malware / some otherwise rogue process. This seems like something that's worth having in the world of fake support remote desktop scams.

Can anyone comment on their "zero touch is safe" claim ( https://krypt.co/faq/ )? As far as I understand, tokens like YubiKeys require a touch as an explicit action by the user to prevent authentication without

I disagree that it's clear. Words have meanings, and > By "unlimited", we really meant "limited". shouldn't be a valid defense for misleading consumers. The plan would be more accurately described as "1

Not OP, but I think they're referring to this story [0] about a survey conducted by the Program for Public Consultation at the University of Maryland. The results showed 83% opposition to repealing the existing net neutrality regulatio

HTTPS is for the users' benefit. They should be able to trust that they're getting the content they asked for without modification or snooping.

I don't know that this invalidates mtgx's general point. Right now, data brokers have effectively zero liability, but we don't treat other companies dealing with dangerous or toxic materials the same way. If a company handlin

Doesn't sound like this is what you're looking for, but LightBot ( http://lightbot.com/ ) is a wonderful game with similar sounding game play.

It's a bit misleading to post that quote without including the validity section as well. People are not as quick to abandon their ethics as the original results of that experiment suggest. In 2012, Australian psychologist Gina Perry i

There are "improve this document" links at the top of each of the pages (a bit confusing, as that link doesn't really belong with the site navigation links). e.g. the OpenSSH doc lives at https://github.com/mo

Copperhead OS is a great project and seems to be short on funding (based on threads on Twitter and Reddit). If you'd like to support it, donations can be made at https://copperhead.co/android/donate . (I'm not

The stock launcher that ships with AOSP (and Copperhead OS) [1] is OK but leaves something to be desired. I used Nova Launcher [2] for years before switching to Copperhead and liked it quite a bit, but after forgetting to back up my setting

YalpStore [1,2] makes getting Play Store apps a lot less painful than going through the process of extracting an APK from one phone and side loading it onto another. There are some that simply won't / don't work without Googl

Unfortunately, it's currently only supported on a handful of devices [1], and that's not among them. Supposedly (based on some threads on /r/copperheados), Project Treble may improve this situation, but I haven't se

If I recall correctly, you can choose to let keybase store your password-protected private key for the purposes of decrypting messages through the website, but that's not required, and the advanced features (e.g. chat) don't work

I'm by no means a ZFS expert, but much of what I've read from "authoritative" sources [1] suggests that this is a myth. The 1GB of RAM per TB of disk is largely a suggestion from the FreeNAS developers a while back that
