Guacamole in an LXC container and a virtual desktop in another.

Requires no client side software, supports totp, lets me do remote admin on weird stuff like printers and home routers.

VPN and public trackers gets you more shows and films than any human could ever consume. I’m not sure why any other method exists.

Totp with a backup of the secrets/seed qr stored in a kdbx. If my phone melts it’s a 24hr problem at most.

The the account is still as vulnerable as a password.

It seemed like the easiest way to store multiple years of data in a format that wouldn’t change or disappear.

I found it super easy to work with as a never-went-to-school programmer (in the rime before claude).

Maintenance at a blast furnace. I am exposed to acidic vapours, caustic vapours, ambient heat in the 60c range, radiant heat in the 1000c range, rock from the nanometer up to 30cm size, phenolic resins, oil mists, and metal powders. And then there’s the crawling around over, under, and between equipment.

Not every tech-savvy person works in an office.

ok.

How do you add a new device to your account without a password or the old device?

I like the idea of a Yubikey but there is no way it would survive more than a month on me due to the conditions where I work. And getting a physical key then not having it on my body at all times is a non-starter.

I keep my keepass .kdbx in on a webdav server and that covers any device I can think of.

How do you transfer your passkey to a new device?

Nah, lock-in is not a safety feature. 16+ random chars are plenty, and if cracking gets better I’ll go to 20 or 30 chars. My pw manager doesn’t care what strings go in it or which device opens it up.

Used to be 200watts bang on but the latest round of updates bumped it up to 210Watts. Everything is on a UPS and I pull measurements from that into an RRD DB (because I like to make my own stuff). It’s kinda cool to see how heavy disk use or CPU intense tasks will increase power draw by up to 50W, or some times or when the power drops off sharply I know my NVR container is not working because 6 ffmpeg tasks all stopped at the same time.
