If qbits double every year, we're at 20 million in 15 years. Changing crypto takes a very long time on some systems. If we're at ~20000 in 5 years, we better have usable post quantum in place to start mitigations.

But I'm not convinced yet, we'll have those numbers then. Especially error free qbits...

I write business letters in HTML. I have a custom letter.css and a base letter.html+.js that loads individual letters into a template. I have some custom tags for date, address and similar. The individual docs are super clean. I can export compiled html files with embedded css (no js needed) and images that render perfectly and are even smaller then the pdfs I export (print) and those are small too.

Two downsides. The biggest problem, I didn't find a way to do proper multi page docs. And especially Firefox has limited print css support.

Second: everything is crudely hacked together and in no way usable by others...

maybe chatgpt can rewrite the code better, so I can publish it?

I know million dollar machines that ship without MS office, but with Openoffice (!). The problem is, the Software can copy graphs to the clipboard in WMF (or something like that) that neither the super old Openoffice nor a recent Libreoffice can import. So wordpad is the only ootb software able to use the data.

Their reason is that 90% of their customers have an office subscription anyways...

Certificate pinning?

Also all let's encrypt certs are public. So if someone malicious gets a cert for your domain, you can notice.

(Thats also why it may be a bad idea to use that for secretButPublicStuff.Yourdomain.com certificate transparency logs are a great way to find attack surface.)

edit oh certificate pinning has been deprecated in favor of checking transparency logs.

Aren't all (most?) those centralized services? What good is having the app if the service is unavailable? Tox, Jamie and Veilidchat are fully decentralized, not just federated, fully decentralized. They come with their own downsides though...

For how long though? How do you know these are real people?

Oh no the wires are a mess. Usb3 cables have extra wires and pins for super-speed. IIRC usb-c has said extra pins for usb configuration like pd or displayport alt mode. The wires can also be different. Some can carry more current, most cables are insufficient for really high data rates...

USB-PD is only specified for USB-C. I think they use an extra channel for this configuration, so it's not possible to use PD over A plugs.

There were competing standards like Qualcom quick charge. AFAIK they never went above 20-ish watts on USB-A, while PD is specced at up to 240W.

Imo the most important thing is the separation of what you do. If you're logged in on facebook, you can do that from your public ip. Anything you're not associated with your name you want to use a diffferent browser identity and maybe a different ip.

If you use Torrents or do anything illegal or whistleblowing or similar stuff, use a live linux iso with no persistence and a vpn bought with monero.

Soo they added webp and AV1, which aren't that much better then old jpeg, especially with the modern jpeg encoder JpegLi. But JpegXL is out of the question.

Those examples all have a good reason that does not apply here. Browsers already support multiple formats and added a few in the last decade.

Ok, but how does the password file get compromised but the 2FA file not? Why not have a separate password file for every login with a different password then?

Idk about you, but most people likely dont have a bookmark to their favorite fetish website. And "google" (bing for those using edge) is the default way to open a website for many.
