Re: 2-factor auth

I do use KeePassXC so I am tempted to use that. As they state in their docs, though, putting TOTP keys in the same database as the passwords defeats the security of 2fa. I am considering making a second database just for them, but that will be a bit annoying (of course the TOTP database would need a ...

2-factor auth

I think the last thing that's holding me back from switching to a dumb phone is 2fa. What are some good alternatives to smartphone apps for TOTP, and what's it like using them in the real world?

IRC

I know we have the chat function in this forum, but the nerdier (and/or older) among us still use Internet Relay Chat (IRC) for our real-time chat channels. It's a delightfully simple protocol that's as old as the internet.

What do we think about having an official IRC channel? The main barrier to ...

I am really attracted to the idea of a dumb phone that still supports Signal messaging and tethering (so I can ...

Re: Introduce yourself!

henlo, am zonk. I go by other names as well that you'll probably find out about eventually.

My hobby is collecting new hobbies (not by choice). I pretend to be a musician, I feel like I am a decent photographer, I'm a professional programmer, and (for now) I'm president of my local ham radio club ...

Overall topic?

I think it would be good to have some info about the core purpose of the forum. Commonly I see this placed at the very top of the index, but the FAQ would be another good place. I can see by the list of subforums that this is a multi-purpose forum, but some general idea of the purpose would be ...
