Ohh cool, I thought the material on yours looked harder but that looks like rubber, which I guess makes sense for a stamp. Very cool!
I tried carving a wooden spoon once with a kinda similar knife. It was a lot more work than I expected, haha

Haha what, why would you try to zap this note?

Looks good, did you use a rotary tool or how did you carve it?

Oh, I mostly still use a laptop for security-critical tasks. Part of the reason is yubikey support being even worse on iPhones than on (official) Android, although I have had some success with NFC.
Phones have very good secure elements these days though. I consider that more than sufficient for anything suitable to do from a phone.
For someone who doesn’t want a yubikey at all, I would recommend a mobile device as the next best solution. Usually this involves leaving heavily on Apple/Google though, which might be incompatible with opting out of those services entirely.

Any Yubikey 5-series (non-FIPS) is good. U2F and GPG cover the majority of use cases. Other subsystems (TOTP, PIV, etc) are available for less common use cases.

It’s about the same amount of setup since you don’t need to mess with group membership anymore.

i3 or sway
Learn to use a tiling window manager, and everything else feels like a toy.
Regolith provides an opinionated setup while retaining the convenience of gnome under the hood. Easy installation on any recent Debian or Ubuntu system by using their apt repo.

Is anyone in the Bitcoin ecosystem doing formal verification of systems? (TLA+ or similar)

Automatic Bug Reporting Tool?

I would think you could easily disable those system services if you don’t want it. It’s not installed in my Silverblue daily driver, but I’ll see if it is in Sericea.

I’m interested in more info on Fedora’s telemetry, which I’ve heard claims about but haven’t seen convincing evidence yet.
Also interested in the rest because it sounds vague, but they’re IBM now, so… heh

Fedora w/tiling window manager (sway) and rpm-ostree, sounds very promising.
I’ve been using i3 (w/gnome integration) on Silverblue, so I’m wondering how this will compare.

correction: this is about the Creative Freedom Summit, a different conference than Flock

Cool article about the software stack used to run Fedora’s Flock conference, all open source

Bluesky wants to enable social network users to choose their mode of consumption by replacing centralized “master algorithm[s]” with a decentralized marketplace of algorithms.

For striker-fired pistols you can get a dry fire mag that resets after every trigger pull, so you don’t need to rack the slide. Not cheap, but the least expensive way to practice follow up shots with the laser.

Man, I have to admit that wifi drivers on this T14s gen2 have been a huge headache… I thought I might sell it, so I battled the Windows installer a couple times before deciding it’s not worth the trouble. Figured I’d throw a fresh debian install on and use it as my personal backup laptop, but even with the nonfree image there’s a conflict due to a kernel bug in stable. Got bookworm (aka testing) installed, only to find out the installer uses a newer version of e2fstools than the version it installs, so the bootloader can’t decrypt the root partition.
Guess I’ll spend part of my weekend manually partitioning from a stable liveusb, then install testing on those partitions… SO MUCH FUN

Since the X-series eliminated the RAM expansion slot I’ve been favoring the T14 family. The 3rd gen T14 followed suit, but I expect 3-5 more years from my gen 1 & 2 as primary laptop.
Highly recommend a T14/T14s/P14s gen 2, w/Radeon 7 Pro processor and a 32gb dimm. Debian + regolith is a solid GUI distro.
