PoW is indeed an interesting solution to protect against DDoS in some situation, like how Tor Onion Services does it.

Not all applications of PoW are bad.

Microsoft will switch off Recall by default after security backlash

please hack it the fuck out so that it gets canned asap.

There’s uBO Lite, which is an MV3 version so one step towards making adblockers less useful as Google planned.

At that price point not really, and there is definitely going to be some tradeoffs required between power vs consumption vs price.

Not sure where you’re shopping, but I can’t find it below $200 for 16GB of RAM.

I don’t think there’s anything on the market that checks all the boxes for a $140 budget.

For my server I simply switched to Debian and add the packages I need on top, without all that proprietary snap crap.

For desktop I’m tempted to switch to an atomic distro like Fedora Silverblue (Gnome) or Fedora Onyx (Budgie), and for the Steam Deck I’d go with Bazzite.

* “Passkey” seems to be an umbrella term for WebAuthn or FIDO U2F. It looks like WebAuthn is a part of FIDO2.

In fact, Passkeys are considered passwordless, and rely specifically on discoverable credentials and resident keys to store the identity alongside the certificate for the authentication.

U2F is the previous standard, also known as FIDO. WebAuthn is basically another name for Passkeys, relying on CTAP2 as the protocol to interface between the website and the authentication token.

So it’s basically a local CDN for Steam and other platforms?

Most instances are defederated from Threads though.

Would have preferred an account straight on Mastodon but it’s a step forward nonetheless.

It’s not currently possible to follow individual users on Lemmy. Even if the features shows up, the consensus among Lemmy instance admins right now is to not federate with Threads.

You can do so through Mastodon ex: https://mastodon.social/@zuck@threads.net

I’m sure it can be done technically, not sure if that would fall within the OSM mission though.

Not sure if that is the kind of stuff that could be merged with OpenStreetMap’s dataset.

As long as he buys it and Biden bans it after.

Honestly there are great download managers out there like Aria2App, and Firefox can use them just fine if you enable the option.

The thing is they don’t need a one-off donation, they need a stable revenue stream. Can’t plan for the future if the financials are uncertain or bleak…

There’s no way I’d be able to keep track of all the stuff I want without an RSS reader.

For now you can’t 😒
