We have a word for things that try to grow at any cost. That word is cancer.

There's a YouTube video up somewhere.

Finally posted about gefs on OpenBSD.

It's at the point where collaboration makes sense.

Huh -- if that's all of github, it's surprising to me that it fits on one large-ish consumer hard drive.

I would still be much more comfortable if the spec was updated to remove support. Hypothetical bad behavior by companies has an unpleasant tendency to become actual, especially if there's a way to use it for additional lock-in.

I don't think it's worth prioritizing holding on to a dead feature over removing things that make adopters uncomfortable.

It's public key cryptography, not a simple password. The private data is not sent over the wire, so it can't be stolem. I would like to have public key cryptography in use for authentication, though I have one major and one minor reservation with passkeys.

The major reservation is remote attestation: the party that I'm authenticating with should have no idea what device I'm using, as long as it follows protocol. I don't feel comfortable using a protocol with provisions for this; large tech companies have shown that they're not to be trusted, especially where there's an opportunity for lock-in.

The minor reservation is the difficulty of backup and recovery. (If the major reservation is resolved, I can run a non-standard passkey agent that backs up the way I want, so this is only an issue if someone has protocol support for constraining the devices I can use)
