The yubikey can perform a hmac using a secret (supposedly) only available to the key's internals. This is used in addition to the password, so that knowledge of the password without the key, or the key without knowledge of the password, can't be used to decrypt the database. It's kind of a half second factor (I know it's not technically correct to call it that, but I hope you get the idea).

It's also in their doc (that they use challenge/response): https://keepassxc.org/docs/ and is even featured on yubico's website, which is somewhat weird but why not: https://www.yubico.com/works-with-yubikey/catalog/keepassxc/#tech-specs

The issue GP had is probably that the keepass app does not support it on Android.

Spodobał mi się Fotel obrotowy Ergosolid 139 x 70 x 70 cm 1499 zł.
Ocenicie, jakaś alternatywa? Może być droższy, ale nie przesadnie, kilka stówek.

To że podłokietniki wychodzą od tyłu, a nie od dołu, to mi się podoba wizualnie.
Ma dużo regulacji.
Podnóżek też dobra rzecz.

Zastanawia mnie odchylenie i zagłówek.
Zagłówka nie da się przód-tył regulować, a jest dość płasko względem oparcia, niektóry fotele mają bardziej wyprofilowane oparcie, i wtedy zagłówek jest bardziej do przodu.
Nie wiem czy przy odchyleniu, zagłówek będzie wystarczająco wysunięty do przodu, żeby trzymać głowę, gdy się patrzy na ekran.
Ewentualnie mocno pod biurko wjadę fotelem, i ekran podreguluję do góry i pochylę w swoją stronę, bo da się tak moim monitorem.

In an age of LLMs, is it time to reconsider human-edited web directories?

Back in the early-to-mid '90s, one of the main ways of finding anything on the web was to browse through a web directory.

These directories generally had a list of categories on their front page. News/Sport/Entertainment/Arts/Technology/Fashion/etc.

Each of those categories had subcategories, and sub-subcategories that you clicked through until you got to a list of websites. These lists were maintained by actual humans.

Typically, these directories also had a limited web search that would crawl through the pages of websites listed in the directory.

Lycos, Excite, and of course Yahoo all offered web directories of this sort.

(EDIT: I initially also mentioned AltaVista. It did offer a web directory by the late '90s, but this was something it tacked on much later.)

By the late '90s, the standard narrative goes, the web got too big to index websites manually.

Google promised the world its algorithms would weed out the spam automatically.

And for a time, it worked.

But then SEO and SEM became a multi-billion-dollar industry. The spambots proliferated. Google itself began promoting its own content and advertisers above search results.

And now with LLMs, the industrial-scale spamming of the web is likely to grow exponentially.

My question is, if a lot of the web is turning to crap, do we even want to search the entire web anymore?

Do we really want to search every single website on the web?

Or just those that aren't filled with LLM-generated SEO spam?

Or just those that don't feature 200 tracking scripts, and passive-aggressive privacy warnings, and paywalls, and popovers, and newsletters, and increasingly obnoxious banner ads, and dark patterns to prevent you cancelling your "free trial" subscription?

At some point, does it become more desirable to go back to search engines that only crawl pages on human-curated lists of trustworthy, quality websites?

And is it time to begin considering what a modern version of those early web directories might look like?

Is it normal for the monitor to change setting (refresh rate) in exactly 6 seconds?
Shouldn't it take less time?

Gigabyte M32QC monitor connected DisplayPort
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics
ASRock A620MHDV/M.2+ motherboard

Arch Linux with Cinnamon

This is a monitor with Variable refresh rate
I changed 60 Hz - 165 Hz in Cinnamon System Settings -> Screen.

But I feel it when I turn on the computer, because it changes from the default 60 Hz in the bios/systemd-boot/console to my system 165 Hz. So the startup animation of the transition from the black screen to the Cinnamon desktop does not happen at all before my eyes, because the monitor is still switching the refresh rate (the resolution remains as it should be in the bios/systemd-boot/console).

And when switching between TTY Ctrl+Alt+F2 etc. the same thing, it takes that long and in the background the TTY is already ready.

I dream of setting 165 Hz in the bios/systemd-boot/console.

But in DisplayPort, even setting the system to 60 Hz does not help, something changes anyway.

For HDMI 60 Hz it is smooth, no waiting.

My real worry with Google's voyage into enshittification (thanks to Cory Doctorow @pluralistic the term) is YouTube.

Through YT, for the past 15 years, the world has basically entrusted Google to be the custodian of pretty much our entire global video archive.

There's countless hours of archived footage — news reports, political speeches, historical events, documentaries, indie films, academic lectures, conference presentations, rare recordings, concert footage, obscure music — where the best or only copy is now held by Google through YouTube.

So what happens if maintaining that archival footage becomes unprofitable?
