  • I buy a ton of XKCD merch for this very purpose. I support others on Patreon, by buying from their advertisers and by buying their audiobooks on Libro.fm or a physical copy.

    Amazon and other middlemen add nothing, they simply take a cut off the top. They maintain DRM solely to extract an maximum profits and lock in their customers and sellers. It is extortion and should be illegal.






  • I have a Framework 13 AMD running Linux Mint. It works great and I love it. Modular IO ports are super nifty.

    Here are the downsides as I see them:

    1. Price
    2. No touch screen
    3. No wifi 7

    I expect 2&3 will come in the future and I can upgrade! The fact that I can upgrade rather than throw it away in the future offsets 1.

    What type of key do you have. Yubikey 5 supports multiple protocols including some you can use with SSH:

    • Multi-protocol: YubiKey 5 Series is the most versatile security key supporting multiple authentication protocols including FIDO2/WebAuthn (hardware bound passkey), FIDO U2F, Yubico OTP, OATH-TOTP, OATH-HOTP, Smart card (PIV) and OpenPGP.

    SSH would need to implement webauthn to support FIDO.

    The IRS does not know how much you owe. They can figure it out. This is what an audit is. They assume most people are honest and most people are. They use statistics to decide who to audit.

    Do not get me wrong it is a stupid system. But there is no need to exaggerate how stupid it is.
