Thinking about passkeys from this angle, how big is the danger of using them for fingerprinting?

The same as using a browser to visit a website. Depends entirely on what data your client sends to the server and how unique that data is.

How would a "cool" GUI Toolkit look like for you?

Most common things power users seem to want from TUIs on desktop:

- Easy efficient remote access. Pixel streaming and things like GTK Broadway are out. Needs a proper protocol/standard that would send styling-neutral primitives (and that is not X11 forwarding), and the entire toolkit architecture built around that. Something like SPICE/QXL but more semantics-aware? Not sure, might be too low level and chatty.

- Staying in the terminal. This is a matter of window management, though a toolkit can offer good defaults so this doesn't feel janky.

- Keyboard-first. Trivial. "GUI is for filthy mouse casuals" is a ludicrous idea.

- Low bloat. Web and things like GTK Broadway are out.

I haven't seen two similar opinions on actual architecture and stack, however being available in Rust will be a great start.

I guess like a TUI, since that's what is deemed to be cool. I don't decide what's cool, I'm just an observer.

Imagine something that looks cool like a TUI, but has pixel perfect graphics and typography where useful, is as fast and functional as Windows 98, but is still tiny, and can be entirely keyboard driven if you prefer that (which I do). We can have all of this today.

A sibling comment has shown a GUI toolkit that I think would be considered cool: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50010671

Elaborate please; mine is in a limbo disassembled state since months because i'm too scared to install the picofly

Unpatched v1 models can be softmodded no hardware modding (picofly) needed. For those you only need to enter the recovery mode which can be done with a paperclip > sorting the pins on the right joycon rail. Though it's also not recommended because you can fry the whole Switch with the paperclip. Nowadays people use 3D printed cheap RCM jigs.

You short pins on the right joycon connection at boot time to enter recovery control mode in the boot firmware which (via an unpatchable exploit) gives you full access to the hardware IIRC.

(I presume the picofly & similar devices are just doing this automatically so you can boot the hardware under user control without requiring other hardware to make the exploit work?)

There's a site you can put your serial number into and it'll tell you if you're vulnerable

The paperclip RCM was an oversight by Nintendo on the early switch models. It is not possible to do on later firmware's, I would HIGHLY recommend not trying to install the Pico fly yourself, it is much harder than you might think and the first time I tried I screwed up the capacitors on the APU and bricked the console.

First models of the switch can be jailbroken by connecting pins accessible without disassembly (used to connect joycons), lookup switch jig RCM.

Please submit this for the 40c3 call for papers, i think this would make a superb talk

Done ;)

iroh-ssh works today: https://github.com/rustonbsd/iroh-ssh

Not perfectly, but good enough for port forwarding web interfaces through cgnat

Where doesn't Iroh work well?

Don't worry we will just replace laws and courts by ChatGPT itself!

Fun topic but generated article text and then not even actually using gzip? Rubs me in a weird way.

I always thought using something like this for debugger shortcuts could be fun

Thanks for putting words to the concept, "mental 3d rotation skills" describes exactly what I feel I lack to a degree where it noticable impacts other fields, I assume.

> bits don't degrade

While that is true the knowledge cutoff will rot as the rest of the world continues.
