There is not going to be a mob at a voting booth, or at a government building, in a way that matters.
It’ll be done by people not taking action. It’ll be done by installing people sympathetic to fascism installed to positions where they have the authority to approve or enforce (or not enforce) policies. It’ll be done by people saying “oh, that’s fine it doesn’t affect me” , or "people will never allow it "…
Some of the things that people are allowing lately are downright evil. But it’s okay because it’s what my church said was good.
Rich people have been advocating for policies and programs that all but force people to work, at borderline slave wages just to survive or participate in society.
I don’t see an end to this unless something drastic and uncomfortable happens.
Oh, I know that happened. But that’s just one little bit. The other items I mentioned will have far more broad, devastating and lasting effects.
The Local PD should have handled cases like that, to protect lawful voters. But I wager that the Local PD was already there, just in the wrong uniform.
If it’s a secure enough environment, I imagine that there will be monitoring on the device, and the moment a hub shows up that’s not supposed to be there, or any other USB device tree that doesn’t match the approved list, , alarm bells ought to go off. If it’s valuable enough; the attack would be to use a passive device picking up leaky signals on the wire, or even hidden camera watching screen/keyboard.
Passkey is some sort of specific unique key to a device allowing to use a pin on a device instead of the password. But which won’t work on another device....
There is no implementation right now that enables you to own and manage your own passkey backups without Google it icloud.
Additionally, the attestation feature is one step away from banks and other sites mandating specific implementations, preventing people from using software tokens or OSS managers.
Passkeys is great, and I am eager to recommend it to everyone, but without those items addressed, it’s a trap door, and one bitflip away from very strong lock in.
It is my understanding that this can only be used to run the OEM license one one instance in a VM, on the specific hardware that is originally licensed. IE, you virtualize the license if the bootOS is Linux, but you can’t run 2 instances of the same windows license inside each other.
If you repeat the setup/performance, does it stop again? If it was plugged into the mains like your keyboard, A transient voltage anomaly might be to blame?
The AIDS epidemic has killed more than 40 million people since the first recorded cases in 1981, tripling child mortality and carving decades off life expectancy in the hardest-hit areas of Africa, where the cost of treatment put it out of reach.

I have a bunch of personal projects that I’m working on. They all need some for sort of authentication. I think it’d be easier to have a dedicated service to manage tokens instead of implementing it again and again for each service....

Not only do they not federate, they also seem to suggest they are not making the self hosting option as easy as it could be because they would prefer one instance that everyone connects with.
It seems pretty solid otherwise, and the self hosted option can work if you are willing to spar with it, but that position makes it super easy for one organization to buy or somehow influence all the primary devs and turn the project closed in no time at all.
Personally, I will use both: On servers with fixed network connections I will tend to use ifupdown; but on my linux laptops I’ll use networkmanager or networkd which tend to have nice UI’s for joining various forms of wifi networks. On my laptops for some VPN’s i"ll use the ifupdown configuration, which lets me setup all sorts of exotic configurations (bridges, vlans, vxlan, vpns, namespaces, etc.) The linux command line tooling has a litany of functions to check/test/diagnose/tweak networking settings, and they work across all the distros, AND they can reveal the full details of the network, as the kernel sees it. NetworkManager, networkd, connmann, etc, often omit details in the name of simplifying for the most common scenarios.
LMTP support would be nice too: existing mail routing infrastructure could send messages into stalwart-managed mailboxes. (Edit: reading the docs, they do support LMTP! This is awesome)
As an anecdote – I have been sitting on an elastic IP at AWS for years, with reverse DNS configured properly for it. Way early on (years ago), some spam filters would block the whole netblock, but I can’t remember the last time the IP Block was wholesale blocked. I think AWS is very much on top of any spam complaints from their Elastic IPs, and as long as you don’t abuse your specific IP, you are in good shape for light volume, non-spam mail.
