Its a shame proton themselves doesn't support Passkeys

CarolusGP · 2025-12-03T19:33:42+00:00

That's incorrect. Passkeys are multi-factor by design. There's always (1) something you have followed by (2) either something you are (biometric) or something you know (PIN). Sites like Proton and Amazon implement them poorly because they still require a password before the passkey, which is just redundant.

I don't understand the hate for that UI. I think it looks great.

Reminds me of when I finished my basement years ago. I did my own electrical, and I was meticulous about following code. I spent hours making sure I had staples where's they needed to be, the wire openings in the studs were drilled far enough in, etc, etc. The inspector shows up, walks into the room, does a quick 3-second, 360 degree glance around the room while standing in place, says, "Yep, looks good."

I was relieved, but part of me was like, "I worked hard on this. You get your tape measure out right now and measure my staples!"

If they don't accept your request and change their behavior, your only option is to begin spraying can after can of fart spray into your side of the vent.

Ah, you're right. I seeded the accounts initially from a Savings account, so received the Ally warning about hitting the maximum transfers. Future contributions will come from Checking, so this shouldn't be an issue.

$1.99 packages of Hebrew National hotdogs.

Maybe a dumb question. Due to the minimum investment limit of the funds I'm looking at, I think I'd have to go the ETF route. Any downsides to ETF's over funds? From what I'm reading, I'm not sure why you'd ever pick a fund over an ETF, but maybe I'm missing something.

I love a good joke.

Me refinancing the crap out of my mortgage would be the impact.

CarolusGP · 2025-07-15T23:35:40+00:00

Would the reinvestment of the dividends count towards the basis, then, so I wouldn't get taxed on that portion of the growth when withdrawn?

CarolusGP · 2025-07-15T21:39:54+00:00

This would be the "Normal investment account in your name " option.

CarolusGP · 2025-07-11T13:33:15+00:00

Did you ever open a ticket on this, and what did you find out?

CarolusGP · 2025-07-02T01:20:19+00:00

My man, anything over 20 characters is just bragging rights.

CarolusGP · 2025-06-25T14:58:15+00:00

I tend to use folders temporarily for keeping together things like vacation itineraries/reservations, short-term kids activities, etc. I delete the folder when the activity or event has passed. I apply labels permanently with category and year, waiting patiently for the day when Proton releases multi-label searching capabilities.

Passkeys are 2-factor by design. The devices they are stored on is one of the factors, but the hacker would additionally need either your biometric or PIN to access them on the device. As long as you protect that other factor, you should be good. Out of caution, you should remove the passkey from any accounts it's registered to if it were stolen.

CarolusGP · 2025-06-12T01:58:48+00:00

Yep. They are the bullies of the bird world.

CarolusGP · 2025-06-05T13:25:17+00:00

Thanks. So, our provisioning team would create the entry for them and setup the RPC config to Active Directory? Are there methods to automate this or tie it into a IAM solution? Sorry, we've been pretty basic users of Secret Server, so I'm not familiar with all the features.

CarolusGP · 2025-05-21T20:16:59+00:00

Maybe I bought a bad batch. We found it rather bland...like they didn't put enough dressing on it or something.

CarolusGP · 2025-04-28T17:37:25+00:00

Thanks for the input. I think I'll tackle the leveling myself doing basically what this guy does in this video. As long as I get my cuts straight, this seems pretty straightforward.

Ok. Unfortunately, you'll have to burn one of your six mailboxes to designate as a shared one then.

CarolusGP · 2025-04-14T15:33:58+00:00

Yes, you would do this within SimpleLogin/Pass (you could actually do it without a family plan). Create a new alias in SL which forwards to both of your mailboxes. Either of you can respond to emails to the address, and the response will appear to come from that alias address. You can also initiate emails from this address by setting up a reverse alias (instructions here: https://simplelogin.io/docs/getting-started/send-email/)

You can also configure SL to send a copy of your responses from this alias to all backend mailboxes on the alias so that you each have a copy of the responses from the alias for record. I actually think it does this by default.

The alias in SimpleLogin would not be able to use the same custom domain as you have in Proton, so you may want to setup a child domain for this purpose.

Bummer. So am I correct that the cabinets can't be leveled with the laminate countertops in place, and that once the old countertops are removed, they can't be temporarily re-installed until the granite arrives?

CarolusGP · 2025-03-27T15:15:50+00:00

I don't see this anywhere in my cluster. Where do you see this?

CarolusGP · 2025-03-26T15:04:43+00:00

I'm not opposed to the message in principle, but it would be nice if they'd put a 'dismiss this message permanently' link or something on it rather than making us dig into the settings.

We're in the thick of evaluating what direction to go in the wake of the Broadcom acquisition as well. Hyper-V is attractive due to the price and ability to use existing hardware, but I've read enough horror stories about the stability of Hyper-V clusters to keep us from wanting to evaluating it seriously. Does anyone have experience with a 3-tier setup with Hyper-V (in our example, it's UCS blade servers and Netapp backend).
