I don't doubt it, I just have a problem with the reasoning that something is "natural" and therefore good. It's a common misconception that charlatans use to prey on people.

It being natural doesn't mean anything, though. Plenty of naturally dangerous things out there...

Webauthn isn't just for 2FA, it's for user user authentication through public key cryptography. Passkeys are Webauthn, but the former is a better marketable term.

Repetition is how people learn to remember things and improve their skills. I fail to see how that's bad.

I hope you know what you're doing. That's a good way to share company secrets with outsiders, also it's uncertain whether you're even legally allowed to use the resulting code.

The cited source does not prove your point, so it is not a valid source. If you make a statement, you go prove it. Until you do, I'm gonna assume it to be false.

If the question was "how many repositories on GitHub mention the word electron", your answer would be correct. As it stands, citation is still very much needed.

You mean native Windows and macOS apps? Because that's what you'll get, mostly.

No problem. One more tip though: If you ever censor your public IP, don't just censor the last two digits. Otherwise it will be easily brute-forced.

My preferred option is to have the VPS inside a VPC that blocks all external traffic by default. Then I can open up specific ports for specific IP ranges.

The reason I prefer this over a firewall configuration on the VPS itself is that the latter seems far more error-prone to me. For example, I've had problems in the past with ufw and Docker where container ports were still reachable even though access was denied via ufw.

Yeah, microplastics seem to be overlooked too often when people talk about plastic recycling "solutions". The worst one I've ever seen was a video where they cut a plastic bottle into strands and then made a broom out of them...

Let them eat cake

If an attacker already has access to a system, they can use hitherto closed ports to communicate with C2 servers or attack other devices. In that case, a firewall that only allows known-good traffic will prevent further damage.

Sounds like a "RAID is not a backup" situation.

Most people will switch smartphones anyway

That's the best case scenario, worst case scenario however you sell to someone who otherwise wouldn't have switched. In that case, it's still one more new phone. And who is guaranteeing that other people will actually use their Fairphone for its whole lifetime?

Better we get then hooked on fairphone then.

True, but I feel like selling your used Fairphone isn't the solution to this.

There's always the option to get a headphone jack adapter for USB-C. I haven't used one personally yet, but I've heard it to be a viable alternative.

In general though the best thing is to just stick with your current phone if you can. Every new phone still consumes resources to produce and probably replaces some other phone which then has to be recycled or might even end up in a landfill.

And thus the enshittification cycle completes

I have a Galaxy S4 and it's basically unusable at this point. I was able to install LineageOS and the home screen feels okay, but it stutters like hell when I do anything more demanding such as browsing YouTube.

Tbf, FP4 will still have replacement parts available for years to come. Not as good as having a (potentially indefinite) upgrade path, but FP4 isn't obsolete.
