I don’t know. Depending on how much time passes between now and the moment you try to recover the key I bet at least one of your friends will have misplaced or lost that piece of paper.

The free version is a loss leader to build mindshare amongst people who are (later) in a position to buy licenses.

The number of revoked tokens compared to all active tokens should still be tiny in those systems, wouldn’t you agree?

> Everyone else wants immediate revocation of rights, not waiting for a token to expire.

With a revocation list you can still have that. Once you propagated your revocation to all relying parties the token effectively expires early.

So? Most of your code is worthless to anyone except yourself.

Yes. GDPR allows for delays when complying with deletion requests. You should ideally document it and factor the delay into any deadlines you might be bound to.

You’d need to make sure the process is somewhat predictable, like running the vacuum on a set schedule so you know for sure what maximum amount of time a deletion request will take.

Arq works with file system level snapshots. So I guess at one point all the files have to be present for the backup work. Not ideal for scenarios where the cloud data exceeds the local storage.

From the article:

> Emergency legislation to exonerate wrongfully convicted Post Office workers has completed its journey through Scottish Parliament and each will now receive initial compensation of £600,000, with the ability to claim more as financial redress for their suffering.

There is a chrome extension for everything. OPs point is (and I agree) that these things you only need once in a while are incredibly useful when they are only a search away. Installing a chrome extension for a few uses every other week is way too much effort.

They can be. Depends on how the are implemented.

Passkeys can:

- Replace the whole login (including discovery of the user id)

- Just replace the password, after a user specified a user id

- Be used as a second factor just like TOTP

They are definitely more phishing resistant for what it’s worth, even if just used for MFA. TOTP codes can be copied manually by an unsuspecting user.
