Ye Gods! No!

OpenBSD truly adheres to "KISS", especially regarding simple configuration files. Exactly of what systemd isn't. It may have (and I'm still not convinced) nice features, but for my uses what is presently being used suffices, both on Linux and especially on OpenBSD.

Are you the same guy that labels porn "amature". It's "amateur". "Amature" doesn't even exist, except if you interpret the "a-" prefix as "not", which then the word would mean "not mature".

Good point. Except of course that, just like Microsoft Windows, it exists and we occasionally have to deal with it...

My guess would be: spending her time with her hubby.

I'm not too familiar with AD and Exchange. I believe you, but I wouldn't have guessed that this would be the origin.

Well, the two factor authentication I favour most is the simple SMS to a know phone number. Facebook seems to be able to send warning SMS, but it want you to use their App for the two factor authentication. I don't see that as a good idea.

I'm not all that fond of phone based two-factor authentication any way. Especially, because phones break, get lost or get stolen at the least opportune moments.

Wow, that's one side I never expected to hear. Quite interesting. I've heard of owners of email addresses that get unwanted mail from people with the same name.

I occasionally get a scam SMS, but those seem to be sent by a robot as usually I have heard of it even before I get it.

But, yeah, I'm probably lucky ;-)

In my investigations, I found such a feature, burried somewhere in the options. I never had the need. My number is public too, well, it's pretty much a Google away. Never get any SMS spam.
