Appreciate the info.
It seems absurd to me that a third party online service is required for a hardware key to work in the first place. I figured it would be authenticating strictly between the locked service and the user.
Most helpful comment. Thank you. I’m heavily considering carrying two phones. My biggest hurdle is the Yubikey at this point because it locks me out of my password manager and most of my more important apps.
You mention using the usb-c connection. I tried that but it doesn’t seem to register. I guess I just need to research some more.
Thanks for giving me some hope!
How are you handling displays and keyboard/mouse? Also what VM software?
I’m a massive Nextcloud fan and have a server up and running for many years now.
But I understand all of the downvoted commenters. It is clunky and buggy as hell at times. Maybe it’s less noticeable when you’re running a single user instance, but once you have non tech literate users using it you begin to notice how inferior it is to the big boys like google drive in some aspects.
That said, I personally have a decent tolerance for fiddling and slight frustrations as a trade off for avoiding privacy disrespecting and arguably evil corporations.
I would recommend everybody looking for a gdrive, Dropbox, one drive alternative to at least give Nextcloud a go.
This seems like it. Thank you.
Do you think the JST SM connectors are the best option for this application?
When you detect a compromised account you could put a freeze or lock on it. If there are that many compromised logins that constant account swapping is an issue then twitch needs to overhaul their account security.
Think of it from the reverse direction. If you have a twitch account in good standing that's verified with a valid email and has no violations, why all of the sudden would it make sense to apply a ban to this account? Perhaps preventing new accounts from being created on a sketchy IP could be a sensible solution, but shadowbanning an existing account makes no sense and is a lazy approach to security. In addition, fingerprinting makes it so a service can easily differentiate between users using the same IP.
Thanks. That helped a lot. It gave me a good basis for some further googling.
It ended up that the Internal Clock of the hardware interface was deselected in alsamixer. Enabling it fixed the no audio issue.
For the channel remapping I tried a bunch of different config files until finally one actually managed to not be ignored. It's absurd how many separate configuration files and sound settings menus exist for linux audio and there's no guarantee the one your editing is even being used. An absolute mess IMO and it's no wonder people shy away from linux for desktop purposes.
Funny enough, despite getting the channel remapping to work, it's completely ignored unless you put pulseaudio -k into your user profile. And even now, because the remapped output device doesn't show up on boot, it has to be manually set to the default output every login.
At least I have the right channels mapped though.
I love linux but god damn is it a hot mess for the simple stuff.
Thanks. I actually selfhost my backup server. So I'm not backing up to a VPS. I use the VPS as a hub in a hub and wheel configuration to connect multiple servers (including a dedicated backup server).
Looks promising. Do you know what their network speeds are? I can’t seem to find that in their FAQs.
This looks great for privacy but their servers are hosted only in Sweden, which might be an issue since I’ll need good latency and high bandwidth.
