    Not necessarily. I found out that bitwarden can generate a QR code that you just scan with your phone that allows your phone to act as a passkey, no browser support required. I was surprised when I discovered that. I had set up my phone as a passkey in Windows, and Windows can use phones as a passkey directly; on Linux that’s not supported so it just gave me a QR code that worked seamlessly. It’s not like a browser URL, but actually triggers the phone’s passkey authentication, kinda like QR codes for WiFi authentication. Pretty neat.





  • In 2015, I had a part time job managing some parts of my University’s IT. We still had 2 Sparc64 build servers that were like 15 years old and had a dual socket MB with 2 physical CPUs and 2 GB of RAM. Top of the line when it came out. It took like 10 seconds for ls to run. Most infra had moved to x86_64 CentOS machines (from Sun Microsystems still, so like 10 years old), but we were still routinely building updated dovecot packages for the Sparc64 machines managing internal email.








  • By default it’s per network, but if you enable Developer Options, there is a setting under Networking called “Wi-Fi non-persistent MAC randomization” that randomizes the MAC per connection for networks that have randomization enabled. I am on Android 13 though, so I’m not sure if 12 has this option.
