"Login with X" is OAuth, not 2FA. 2FA is a great addition on top of a password per site. Neither a FIDO device nor an Authenticator app provides the site with any extra PI.

Edit: SMS would give them your phone number, but SMS is a really bad 2FA and should not be used

Tuxedo gives you the option to order their laptops with either the Tuxedo logo, a custom logo, or no logo. I ordered the InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen7 without any logo and it looks really clean.

I haven't checked Coreboot support before, but now found: https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/Infos/Help-Support/Freque...

We had SunRay at a municipality here in Sweden where I worked at the IT department. I tought it was really cool and I had built our own "session routing" script that could connect terminals to different servers based on the smartcard ID. Terminals in the schools connected to a school server where students could login without smartcards, but if a teacher inserted their card it would connect them to the "admin" server or to a windows VM.

I had my own server in the DC that I could then connect to from my desk using a multi-monitor SunRay terminal. At home I had a SunRay connecting in to the office with VPN. I could move between terminals by just inserting my smartcard in whichever terminal I was at. There was even a company creating a SunRay laptop called Gobi that I tried using , but a regular laptop with the software client was a much better experience.

I really like Asianometrys videos. But I usually don't pay much attention to the titles

And here's the video that introduced me to Frigate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqDCEZSVeRk&t=1834s

I also forgot to mention that the Reolink cameras are not connected to any cloud and work locally.

I use Frigate (https://frigate.video/) on a rPI for recording and doing person detection for 3 Reolink cameras. Connecting that to HomeAssistant for dashboard and notifications. It works great! I boot the rPI (model 4 with 8gb RAM) from a USB-SSD to not worry about SD-cards. I connected a Coral USB device for the person detection since the rPI itself can only manage about 2 frames/s.

I had a 75GB "Deathstar" at the time and was really worried that it would fail. I was a teenager and couldn't really afford replacing it, nor have good backup solutions. I accidentally pulled a power pin while removing the molex connector and had to solder on a modified power extension cable. The drive kept on living for many years and IIRC it never failed while in active use.

You can address image layers by sha256 hash. Do a docker pull of the image and the log will tell you the hash. Then you can do docker pull myimage@sha256:abc123def456...... I usually use these in my deployments since they can't be modified, it will require a new deploy.
