no. I just had flashbacks on how many scripts I had to change and build edge cases in back then when they changed master and slave in mysql.
But everything to make slaves happy and not feel triggered I guess.
I really like my steam deck.
After buying it I wanted to Download Musik and checkout some Films just to realize they removed all non game media years ago
Banking websites will tell you that you need 2FA. Of course you need to use not just any 2FA you need to use their app and of course you don't need a 2FA if you use the app directly for banking.
My companys equity app does not even want to run on lineageos.
At the moment it looks like a 2 phone will be necessary at some point.
For now, my banking app actually runs on GrapheneOS. My digital identity app that it requires to log in does not, but luckily my government also offers an NFC chip that I can just scan instead.
Two phones is such an unsatisfactory solution because it will be too impractical, too expensive, or both, for the vast majority of people.
The revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) in EU describes standards of strong authentication and for the end user it means that mostly the bank's mobile app is being used as 2FA for logins and operations within the account
I'm not sure if physical tokens are being used anywhere but if they are, that's rather rare nowadays. It may be an option reserved in bigger banks or for business customers - I can see one of banks in my country offers it for a request and not by default.
Yes, the fact that these 2FA systems aren't based on time-based one time passwords you're probably thinking of. It's a push notification that you need to open and approve in the official app.
Mdadm raid is rock solid. Lvm raid is not at the same level. There was a bug for years that made me doubt anybody even uses lvm-raids.
I could not fix a broken raid without unmounting it. Mdadm and ext4 is what I use in production with all my trust. Lvm and btrfs for hobby projects.
I bought 3 linux games on DVD between 2006 and 2016.
I stopped buying linux games and instead started again buying windows games. Because there is no easy way to run them. On the other hand I can just run myst1993 and most of windows games without much hustle via wine.
Wine is linux only stable abi
The most annoying part to me is that Linus et all make not breaking compatibility their #1 goal (only rarely superseded by security and performance concerns) but all of the other libraries on top of the kernel don't seem to care about that at all and break things willy-nilly.
Well age of empires 2 didn't work on windows 7 and vista for example. So ok now it works but it wasn't continuous.
Star trek elite force won't work (at least it didn't for me), star wars jedi outcast and jedi knight are in the same situation. Yes you find some of them on gog, which means they needed changes to work again.
The 2006-engine version of Half-Life 2: Episode 1 runs on Windows 10/11 with no configuration [1], outside of getting Steam to download it. I recall installing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on a Windows 11 machine, which just needed Directx 9c to run.
Valve puts ongoing effort also on the windows games… yet a sibling comment tried a game from valve instead of trying a game from a CD to do a fair comparison -_-'
Fair comparsion? This thread is about how you can't run old software on linux and are better of running windows software via wine. Running random versions instead of specific software versions is the point.
Not only do I need a smartphone for "everything" in my live.(managing my local gym membership for example)
I also only have the choice between two us companies: Google or Apple.
I had an ubuntu smartphone at some point but it's practically useless.
If I want a appointment with my doctor in Germany living in the same street as I, the Californian Company Google has to be involved for some reason.
