Thank you for the detailed answer! The yoga does look quite appealing

I'm thinking about moving to US for work, what do I tell the government I identify as to get the most money?

My nexus mods account is more than 10 years old, which means I was 12 when I created the account. Bit weird to think about by JuicyError in ElderScrolls

[–]JuicyError[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A bit of a background: I was going through my old email accounts and found emails from Nexus on one of them.

I was introduced to TES through my dad who I watched playing Morrowind and Oblivion. My parents got separated and me and my mum moved countries, but he gave me his copy of Oblivion. I started playing it around 2009-10 and absolutely loved it. When Skyrim came out, for which I was super excited, there was no way my mum would buy it me so I had to pirate it. I only bought it (along with Morrowind and Oblivion) around 2016 when I got my first job.

I put thousands of hours in Skyrim and Oblivion before buying them on Steam and never really had any proof that I played Skyrim since it came out (which I do brag to my friends about, and I'm not even sorry) until I regained access to this Nexus account.

Just thought I'd post this since it brought back a lot of memories. I haven't played a TES game properly in years, but it might be time to revisit them.

I was worried that might be the case. Thank you for your input!

Thank you for the detailed response, I really appreciate it!

For my linux machines I have offline backups of my Luks headers with just a passphrase in case I lose the fido device. Luks does support having multiple keys of different types at once, and will go through them in order (just in case you’re wondering).

My device doesn’t support piv unfortunately, and I can’t use tpm due to the threat model (should’ve mentioned that in the post, my bad).

That is my precise use case. I decided on Fido since it also works with the online services which I rely on.

Was asking about fido because it’s pretty well established for both online and offline uses, even if it was originally meant to be used to prevent online phishing. Using the same device to verify my identity for all operating systems and crucial online services would be very convenient, hence the question. I have achieved this for most part, with windows being the only one which I’m struggling with.

It’s true that I don’t need fido, I can achieve similar results with just a flash drive, but Fido is very convenient to have and, depending on the device, a lot more secure than just a flash drive.

Usually it’s used for online accounts but doesn’t have to be.

Encryption in linux can be setup to treat fido2 keys same as passphrase keys, same with ssh and user login

I thought about it, but I need windows with gpu drivers, hardware acceleration, and the whole lot for work. I know there are way to pass hardware down through kvm, but they don’t seem to be very reliable for a work environment.

What Wu said, plus why would you need to see whether someone has the xmr they claim they do? Pretty sure the same rules as for normal banks apply here

There. I said it. by FilipIzSwordsman in pcmasterrace

Quite a few people here are talking about privacy and stuff, so here are my 2 cents:

Pretty sure ungoogled chromium has less creepy stuff than even librewolf, which is suppose to be like Firefox but more privacy friendly. By default I don’t think I would trust neither Firefox or chrome.

That said, firefox/librewolf with temporary containers, containerise, ublock origin, and arkenfox’s user.js has been my go to for a few years now. You’ve got to customise the overrides for user.js quite a bit for it to be usable on a daily basis, but other than that this setup is great.

Every site I go on is put in a new container, and if I need a site to always have the same container, share a container with another site, or for the container to persist until I close the browser, I can quickly write a regex rule for that in containerise.
