Hosting my Wireguard server on a scaleway instance, I encountered a very slow performance. Some web pages didn't load at all. Server was under no load. Lowering the MTU on the client and the server from 1500 to 1360 solved the problem. FYI

New comment by valkum in "Chrome lets hackers phish even 'Unphishable' Yubikey users"

hmm. I assumed U2F does not protect you from phishing. It just adds a second layer of protection to your account. Protecting you from credential theft. U2F antiphishing stuff implemented by chrome is just a neat little extra. Is this behaviour of checking the origin in the spec?

Except this one was already build and tested in Germany iirc. It should be debugged and taken apart into modular pieces and sent to Tesla. I assume installing these modules should be easier than debugging an assembly line in factorio ;)

That is where a thief would search too. You have the possibility to store those things at a bank for example but this leads to other problems (what is it your are on a run). Or you dig a hole in your garden only to forget the exact location. There is no distinct answer to where should I store those I think.
