No, you should ask how they measure it.

The Tandem app can be great for finding such partners.

What’s the currently best way to manage TOTP tokens? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Store the secrets on a Yubikey. They are unstealable then.

Yubico has their own GUI app or you can wrappers for their CLI tool to use something like dmenu, rofi or Fuzzel to pick one.

Thanks to all for the feedback. I have a UPS installed and running now.

Confirmed this was a lie. Accidentally unplugged the device, turned it back on-- no factory reset.

Hegseth declares, 'I only speak American' to room full of foreign leaders in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

"I only speak one language"... to a room full of mostly bilingual people who also live in (central or south) America. 🤦🤦🤦

...wasn't it supposed to be other way around? in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world
[–] markstos@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Ok, this prompted me to root-cause the issue. A bad cable between laptop and USB dock seems most likely. Hardware issue, not Linux!

Linux revoked my mic permissions in the middle of a call today, on Google Meet. Happened before on Zoom.

I have not root-caused it to see if there was flaky hardware or what.

A Runner Completed A 5K In An Airplane Bathroom. Other Passengers Were Not Impressed. in c/running@lemmy.world
[–] markstos@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Seems fake because the GPS trace shows all the running happening in one place. But the plane is in motion. Most of the distance traveled would come from the plane’s movement, creating a mostly straight GPS trace.

Any runner who has accidentally not stopped a run and gotten into a car has seen this happen.

Ah yes, a twisted pair.

If you run for office to be different from all the rest and win, do you immediately become corrupted upon election?

Recommended surge protector / power supply (lemmy.world)
 

AT&T claims the reason their router, the BGW320-500 sometimes factory resets itself is because it’s designed to do this in response to unexpected power loss, and if the house didn’t lose power, the power strip / surge protector may be at fault.

Which I don’t doubt might be the case, I have old, cheap, generic power strip.

So recommend me a power / strip protector you trust with your uptime. While I don’t need a UPS, I wouldn’t mind /some/ battery backup to smooth over brief power issues.

AWS: No Peace of Mind for you. (lemmy.world)
 

This poorly designed table on the AWS website appears to show that neither tier of their new AI agent "Q" offers "Peace of Mind".

Maybe the table was designed by AI, too? "PRICE", "FEATURES" and "PEACE OF MIND" are supposed to be understood as section headers, but the design doesn't work because they didn't also put "price" on its own row and they pointlessly used alternate-row background colors. They could have used background cell colors to communicate which rows were section headers.

The Framework 16 laptop detects when it's booted partially assembled. (urbanists.social)
 

It boots into a special mode to walk you through completing the assembly. The screen updates to reflect your progress and prompt the next step. This requires no tools to complete. Impressive! See linked video.

Switch to Sway windows by selecting them by label, like wmfocus or Vim easymotion (lemmy.world)
 

You've got multiple monitors and watch to switch to a window several windows away.

You could switch focus there with a number of arrow key movements.

"sway-easymotion" allows you to use to press a key that prints a one or two character label on each window. Press that key and your focuses switch there.

Over the weekend I submitted patches for a couple of new features. First, I added multi-monitor support. Second, I added a visual confirmation of which window was selected.

If you are familiar with Github and Rust, you can review the patches and try them out here:
