@TallSimon@mstdn.ca @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk That's basically how Yivi works, except the user stores a signed token of attributes, like being over 16, 18, 21 etc locally on their device, signed by some issuer (like a government).

@bert_hubert Isn't the "answer" to your open question just Ostrogorski's paradox? In the end it's all about priorities, making one topic politically (electorally) important leads to other topics getting solutions no one wants.

Had an IKEA practically next door for years but today is the first time I tried their automated pick up thing. It's excellent. You go there, enter a code and after a while a door opens with your loaded cart on it.

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk Slight correction: whether resident or not, the private key is derived from the key material that lives inside the security key (Yubikey). The difference is that with a resident key, the information needed to derive the key is stored in the hardware too. With non-resident, that bit of metadata lives in the private key file. It's not actually a private key in there.

Honestly kind of impressed. Got a phishing message on Thursday pretending to be a login notification from my bank, listing a phone number to call. Looked up the provider and contacted their fraud department. Today, I got a response telling me the phone number was cancelled.

They'll probably pop right back up with a new one, but if it saves just one person from getting scammed, it still seems worth it.

@barometz@social.treehouse.systems Yeah someone really needs to learn about the boy who cried wolf. Since the introduction of NL Alert I have only received the test alerts and inactionable bullshit like this.

@barometz Yay capitalism. It's pretty hard to monetise something you can sum up on a small card. Then again, the users aren't blameless either. A quick image search yields examples like this, which is about as far from the main point as you can get.
