IIRC, LinkedIn would email everyone in your "address book" (or anything else it could find) back in the day.

E5 CPUs have their supported RAM right on the Intel ARK pages, but short version:

E5-xxxxx v1 and v2 are all DDR3

E5-xxxxx v3 and v4 are all DDR4

Not sure why Intel didn't just cut new model numbers instead of keeping them all as "e5"

More concrete example for E5-2660 (great processor) showing v1 and v2 support DDR3, while v3 and v4, DDR4 (again, different motherboards)

DDR3 v1: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/64584/i...

DDR3 v2: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/75272/i...

DDR4 v3: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/81706/i...

DDR4 v4: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/91772/i...

This also means that you need to know the processor your motherboard supports (or, easier, probably RAM) before putting in an order to upgrade the processor. (These processors are incredibly cheap, less than $10 for something that might have cost literally thousands ten years ago, so worthwhile to spend a few minutes and pick out your favorite based on cores, watts, Ghz, etc.)

(Another commenter says that there are some motherboards that accept v3/v4 but also can run slower DDR3 RAM. That's new to me and quite cool - DDR3 is extremely cheap, even now. I did find these motherboards on aliexpress, too: https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesale-XD3-motherboard.html?s... and one clearly says v3/v4 cpu's with DDR3 RAM. That could be very useful although memory speeds are slower since CPU performance can be boosted with v3/v4.)

With the other, I'm logging into a server for the first time (and I could simply deploy the same trusted host key to all my ssh servers via an autoscaling configuration or whatever). I think it's debatable if TOFU is worse or better than your (granted clever) metaphor.

(to those who'd recommend userify, yes - great for the client login issue and definitely increases security, but to parent's point, TOFU is still needed unless you want to distribute host pubkeys)

It also looks like squinn is the clear leader for most but not all of the benchmarks.

Even though it's "not scientific", is still very useful as a baseline - thanks for taking this effort and publishing your results!

Also taking a look at monibot.io , looks cool

It was not. Don't use acme.sh.

You might even try to block incoming SMS. In fact, you might also try a forward with Twilio or free Google voice number, since a lot of SMS TOTP refuse to with with those numbers :)

I've even had success removing my phone number entirely from certain types of accounts, but sometimes I had to deliberately break the account (eBay) and then it tries to get you to confirm on each login which you can sometimes bypass by changing the URL or clicking the company logo.

Be sure to have strong security in other ways; strong, non repeated passwords.

But this is truly insane. Large banks don't even offer the option of TOTP but instead require far more insecure SMS. Maybe they'll offer RSA dongles, because they never bothered to remember when they all got completely leaked ten years ago or how they accepted $10M to completely compromise their constants.

What can you say, large enterprises are behind the security eight ball, as always! It's a tale as old as time.

The President is literally the Chief Executive officer in the United States.

https://people.howstuffworks.com/president4.htm

> Laws and budgets are set by Congress

That's correct, under Article 1, but the President does not have to spend every dime that was allocated.

> EOs do not have the force of law

"Both executive orders and proclamations have the force of law, much like regulations issued by federal agencies"

https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/publicat...

You seem to underestimate the power that is vested in the office of the President as the Chief Executive.

> have been invalidated by courts

As have many, many legislatively-passed laws; this is simply checks-and-balances and allows the judiciary to act on other laws (which originate from Congress) and regulations (which originate from the Executive Branch).

And this Chief Executive was elected by the majority of the country, specifically to take these actions that he'd clearly stated he would take.

The resistance is actually the violation of federal law. It's no different from contempt of court; within the President's domain, he has a huge amount of power. The President can also modify existing policy (regulations) at any time and literally make new laws (Executive Orders have the force of law) as long as they don't conflict with current law, as well as overturning previous President's Executive Orders.

Of course, then the shoe will be on the other food someday, too, just as it was when Biden took over from Trump and then they switched places again.

As President Obama said, "I've got a pen, and I've got a phone."

Well, sure, it'd be nice if we could all spend our time building things to give away for free, but it's just not always possible. Life happens and people shouldn't have to explain or apologize for it.
