A physical token only authenticates itself as “something you have” if there’s no way to extract the key from it. In practice non-hardcore deployments usually have a backup procedure but in principle, if you want multiple tokens, they should have separate keys. What you’re asking in simplest form involves storing the key on a server where it can potentially spill in a server breach or the like. If the key protects something very valuable, that can be dangerous. If it’s for your old Reddit account, you might decide to do it anyway.

It’s considered bad form to do what you’re asking but most 2fa apps have a backup restore scheme now. Is that enough?

I know someone who did that who is a REALLY GOOD, like pro level singer. Crowd was delighted when she started singing and they heard how great her voice was. Then they were slightly puzzled when some of the words were different. Then they realized she was singing a parody and they were like WTF. I suppose I’ll try it anyway if the occasion comes up .

Here she is singing a Queen–Bohemian Rhapsody / Star Wars crossover parody:

I mostly only know parody lyrics, so it will go badly no matter what.

Earl Grey, hot, straight from the replicator.

I’ll leave the psychological analysis to others but when I’m in a text discussion that needs synchronization (e.g. pick someone up at the train station), I usually respond to incoming texts as soon as I see them, e.g. with “ok”, unless I’m driving and the person is expecting me. Even if I’m driving, I’ll hear the incoming text buzz the phone, so if I think it needs immediate attention I’ll pull over and look at it. So lack of such a text response within a few minutes could indicate “follow up with a voice call”.

It’s hard to understand the purpose of this. The difficulty of the project (i.e. complexity of the web) is the real problem that needs solving. We don’t need another fork of the browser-verse. We need a fork of the web itself.

911 attack. I was sleeping on the couch at a friend’s place and he was apparently awake gaming online (yes that was already a thing in 2001). He came into the living room and apologized for waking me up but he wanted to turn on the TV because someone on the game server had said there had been an “incident”. This was a few minutes before the 2nd WTC plane hit. So it wasn’t yet clearly a terrorist attack. Ended up watching the coverage all day.

How are they going to produce these patches if microsoft is no longer releasing them?

First there were glassholes. Now we’ll have earworms?

Right. There were also Ace Doubles, but you had to be good at reading upside down if you wanted to use both halves.

It’s a trade off between video quality and bandwidth but you can set the ffmpeg parameters to the bandwidth you want, more or less. If you have 2mbits up you can do ok. Motion detection can help if it’s for security and not much is happening most of the time.

We had something like e-readers and they didn’t need recharging as they were made out of dead trees. But each one held just one book, so you had to take a bunch of them to the bathroom with you.

Do I want to know what opensea is?

It depends. What kind of beer?

Why are you worried about that parachute? It has a lifetime guarantee.

If you have enough upload bandwidth I guess you don’t need the vps.

Who is he? What does he stream about? Is he really a doctor?

It always seems simplest to do this stuff with raspberry pi cameras or cheap webcams, and wired networks if feasible. Then use ffmpeg and icecast to stream through a VPS. Anything made as a consumer product is likely a shambles of crap software and security holes.

I’ve never heard of this guy but I’m not very attentive to streamer drama. Is this significant beyond there now being N+1 known bozos in the world instead of N?
