Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    If it's compromised you can't change it for one

    Also you can't be legally forced without a warrant to give a password but biometric data you can be legally forced without a warrant to give up

    Lol let's take the kid gloves off, shall we?

    Fingerprints, as a means of authentication, is just straight up not secure.

    Man, I knew fingerprint encryption was bad but that is nuts.

    Fwiw they’re able to do the same thing by the sound of someone typing a password across the room. Not advocating for fingerprints or anything, just these exotic hacks are everywhere

    The thing is, one of those attacks requires you to type your password. The other requires you to touch something.

    ...my memory was that this only worked after the routine had been trained on your typing idiosyncrasies
