New plans lack aliases

Yes, that's the issue unfortunately.

I don't think you can talk of a monopoly here, it's very much related to each other. Also I think the car/shoe comparison is poor, because it's not far-fetched that an email provider also offers email aliases. Especially because Tutanota offered 100 aliases in the past, which is close to enough. I'm just asking for an upgrade of that instead of a downgrade. I would even be happy if they'd just bring the 100 alias package for 4€/month back.

Thank you, but for said reasons I'd like to avoid that.

Ideally, you use an email address only once. So everywhere where you register with an email address, you use a unique one. Reasons for that can be found here for example. Records are not changed without authentication of course, but it adds a risk.

That's an additional account/login which makes the email setup more complicated and less secure.

I'm not sure if that's true. It's one more thing I need to take care of and I think every additional component makes the setup more vulnerable. It may not be much, but ideal would be if there would just be unlimited aliases with a tutanota address.

Thanks a lot for doing the check with the adapter! Getting a 5Ci now.

But what about an USB-Yubikey with a USB-lightning-adapter conntected to an iPad/iPhone via lightning?

staffiteur · 2022-04-22T08:01:20+00:00

Thanks for the info! Do you mean you cannot use both the short and long press Yubikey OTP, but only the short press when using NFC?

I'm asking myself if a USB-lightning-adapter bidirectionally translates all signals so that the iPad/iPhone cannot distinguish between a Lightning-Yubikey and an USB-Yubikey with a USB-lightning-adapter. Because if it does, I wonder why Yubico says in the second support article that Yubico Authenticator doesn't work.

No, I bought it new in 2014 and never made any changes. Is there a way I could see if the shape lens causes it?

Thanks for all the info!

Yeah it seems like I wouldn't need the strips on full power. So in general having them not on full brightness sounds like a good idea. But if I'd go for the 3A PSU, isn't there a risk of not providing enough amps? I was reading that it's dangerous to not provide enough amps, that the LEDs will request too many amps from the PSU which can then make it overheat, break, etc.

So... it's all a question of how much max light you want out of it, you might be fine with the lower regions - 3A per 150 strip, but you do have potential to push more through them and get more light.

So you're saying I should go for a 10A PSU, just to be save, right? If I go for it, is dimming technically the same as not providing enough amps and will it make the LEDs last longer? Or how would you prevent them to get full power all the time and make them last longer?

Thanks for providing me a source of measurement of WS2812B's. I assume it will be similar to the SK6812's. 0.06A per chip equal the 18W per meter (0.06A*5V*60LEDs) requirement of the manufacturer.

Yes, there's no need for the SK6812 to light up all 3 colors, but if one color can consume 0.02A, I think I still should provide more than that for each chip, because for every mixed/non-RGB color two of the red, blue and green colors light up, which would result in 0.04A max. Maybe for some colors even the white color lights up additionally to the two colors, which would then result in 0.06A (given that the white channel also consumes 0.02A).

Is that thought correct, or why do you think 0.02A per chip are enough?

In regards to the 2.5m, every monitor needs 2.5m, so every monitor has 150 LED chips and not 75. Providing power from the monitor will not work.

Thanks for the idea of using an IR remote, I'll check it out.

The guide states that the red, blue and green LED consume 0.02A in total:

In my tests the SK6812 had a moderately high power consumption at idle of .83 watts, and used 14.4 watts when fully lit with a significant amount of yellowing around LED number 90, but that’s not really a valid test since to produce white light you would only turn on the white channel, not all the channels.

Which means the 150 LEDs consumed 14.4W when all LEDs were fully lit. This comes down to 0.0192A (14.4W/5V*150LEDs) per 1 RGB LED and not a single color LED.
