I was running OpenWRT on a WRT54GS, but moved and ended up with 50Mbit Comcast (crap) rather than ~2Mbit Sonic.net (awesome! but too damn slow due to distance from CO). If discovered the WRT was limiting thruput to ~12Mbit rather than the 50Mbit I had on the other side of it, so I'm using an Apple Airport Express with stock firmware until I can get OpenWRT setup on a Netgear WNDR3700.

And I thought I was way behind the times when i was still running the WRT54GS. So I guess my question is, is anyone still running that ancient hardware for their main connection?

No, I was just trying to put myself in the head of the wack-a-doodles who think that FB & Google are out to get them in particular, rather than to just make billions of $$$s.

It's a public key. It does nothing to prove ownership. I could easily download any public key from a keyserver and add it to my account.

Can I have your private key?

(Pretty sure you meant 'public key' there.)

What if they show you your public key, but they show others their public key they created to proxy for you, And suggest they mail you at the @facebook.com email address they rolled out years ago?

Yeah, they'd get caught in a heartbeat, and it'd never work in practice, but for the paranoid it might be a worry...

Not to mention that the software that the company I work for is writing (NFV stuff) will put networking professionals out of jobs before too long...

Well, I think of "drone" and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U... ] ) as synonymous, and at least Wikipedia there says there are two classes of UAV, autonomous and remotely piloted.

So, I guess it's a question of definitions...

What about an autonomous drone which is just flying to certain GPS coordinates and then detonating? Or even just using inertial guidance and image processing?

The real problem is, in an infinite, probabilistic universe, even the smallest chance that God exists is a certainty.

Not any god that a christian would accept. Their god is outside the universe, and created it.

I don't feel they really demonstrated such, but yeah, I've got a backup in a safe place and encrypt stuff with both keys.
Here's an anecdote to counter-example the article:
https://twitter.com/drunky_bea...

because the minute you switch to something else (the browser, E-mail client, putty terminal, LibreOffice or anything else), muscle memory results in errors.

I don't understand this bit. Why would you switch out of emacs for such things? Emacs has web (eww, w3), email, tramp (remote editing/shells), TeX modes, etc.
No need to tax your muscle memory, it's all there in emacs.

Besides, on a mac, most things do Emacs keybindings :-)

No, but there might be an increase in latency...

I'd love a yubikey neo (nfc) with the form factor of a Nike Fuel Band, but a bit lighter/slimmer. Something I could wear and even shower with, so I'd never worry about my auth token taking a walk. For bonus points make it difficult to unclip (so I'd wake if someone tried to take it off), and have a slide-switch to disable the NFC, so no one could read the auth token at a distance and replay it...

I don't think you can get 4K projectors yet.
Also, my long long room with peaked roof wouldn't be ideal for the projector.
Otherwise I'd be interested.

You can use it to store your GPG keys and then have GPG act as your SSH agent, so you can require the physical token to ssh to servers.
I've got my Mac setup so I need my Yubikey for sudo as well.

At work we use the GPG key on a Yubikey stashed _inside_ a server to sign our software releases. Someone could hack their way onto the server and if they became root could sign software with the key, but they couldn't copy the key to use later.
