Does a bike helmet count?

And never mind that noise you heard

There are parts of the world where it is a function of age, or at least of the number of years you’ve been working, because the government will pay you a pension after you worked and paid taxes this many years.

Thank you for being a voice of reason among all the noise.

I have used Manjaro at work and on personal devices for maybe 10 years and it has served me well. When I got a new computer this year, I saw many recommending EndeavourOS instead, so I decided to use that instead. I don’t understand the controversy to be honest … endeavour is a-ok, but Manjaro was more stable imho, and if I have to do it again I might go back to Manjaro.

If you want people to take you seriously about being open source, you need to have a git repo, like github, gitlab, etc. you can even self host one. Heck, you can even use a different (non git) DVCS, but not just a link to a cloud drive…

Depends on which country…

That’s possible, I’m using Firefox, is that something firefox would do?

The site does use https for me… it instantly redirects from http to https

I’m very confused as well.

Harris had never had a driver’s license—only a state ID—and in fact had had his driving privileges suspended last year.

How can you suspend someone’s driving privileges if they never had them in the first place?

My point is, since its meaning depends on the context, I don’t see the issue for it to mean, in the context of containers, “outside of a container”. Just like in the case of VMs, or OS vs No OS, it means there’s one fewer layer between the app and the hardware, whether that’s a VM, Container runtime, or the OS.

I’m pretty sure everybody, including you, understood its meaning in this context, it didn’t really cause any misunderstanding.

That’s only the meaning you’re used to, and that’s my point. It depends on the context. I can assure you that, in the context of microcontrollers, for example, “bare metal” means running without an OS.

Well, since we want to be technical … Docker is not bare metal. Linux apps are not bare metal. Arduino is bare metal.

I still run it on a 10 year old chromebox (replacing chrome with linux of course). It’s really not that heavy. If it seems very slow, I’d try rebuilding the database from a dump (if mysql/mariadb), and making sure the db is on a fast drive. At least, those two things made a huge difference for me. Also, some people reported huge speedups switching to postgres.

Fun fact: as I discovered, “continents” are defined differently depending on which country you’re in, they are not the same worldwide. In Europe, America is a big continent and includes both north and south, and the continent including Australia is called “Oceania”. In “America” (USA), there’s North and South America as separate continents, and the continent including Australia is called … Australia… and yes, the USA is just America, because, yeah.

downvote liberally?

Have you considered Godot? I don’t have any real experience with it, but from what I gather, it’s FOSS, seems pretty popular and well supported, definitely supports 2D (also 3D but you don’t care), can export to Android or web, as well as PC, and doesn’t use any of your “blacklisted” languages. It uses its own python-like script, or you can use C#, and there’s extensions for others.

Now that I think about it, there is a problem: fingerprint & face ID are not 100% correct all the time, so they’d rather have false negatives than false positives, i.e. they’d rather deny access to someone who is authorized, rather than grant access to someone who is not. This is normally not a problem, cause if for whatever reason the biometric method doesn’t work (e.g. wet fingers, wearing gloves, wearing full face mask, etc) then you always have the PIN/passphrase … but with your 2FA idea this wouldn’t work anymore.

I think you’re getting downvoted because many people don’t understand exactly what you mean by 2FA, and especially, for what purpose.

You could try to clarify that, but let me see if I get this right: You’d like to use 2FA as a more secure way to access your phone, having the phone require 2 factors to unlock it; not as a way to use your phone as one of the “two factors” for some other 3rd party account, right?

Basically, you’d like a phone to support an authentication method requiring 2 factor to unlock the phone itself, for example both a PIN and fingerpring, or passphrase and face recognition, is that right? As in, one needs both factors, not one or the others. If so, yeah, I guess that could be pretty useful for the very security conscious among us.

Well technically, (s)he never claimed you said that either…
