Positive/Negative experiences with Fido Alliance passkeys - specifically the Yubiico YubiKey 5 Series?

Can’t embrace password managers, feel this is the appropriate direction to pursue securing work and personal accounts.

Any issues for accounts with DUO, Google, etc 2FA?

Ransomware attacks on hospitals are the scummiest shit there is. If you're going to hit that industry, go after the insurance companies you pricks
The children's hospital had to take all systems offline after the attack, causing significant disruption to operations. MyChart is totally down, scheduling is a mess, and children's patient care is being affected. abc7chicago.com/lurie-childr...

Just watched “The Underdoggs” on Prime with Snoop Dogg. Loved it! I’ve enjoyed everything he’s produced for decades, his timing and delivery keeps me rolling with laughter! Always dream of lighting up with him and shooting the shit for an evening, fascinating man, interested in his perspectives.

@evacide.bsky.social is the Director of Cybersecurity for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. If she says this is good, then pass this along to anyone you think might need it. It’s as authoritative as this kind of stuff gets.

The world is spinning off its axis, our rescued Corgi is a bully! She’s started to terrorize our Pitbull XL mama - it’s insanity! Both obviously spayed as they’re shelter code red dogs, fear based aggression, but WTH?! Honeymoon is over, Corgi feels at home, named her Cujo Corgi for now.
