Show HN: Chord, autonomous research to curate the Internet’s favorite stuff

Finding “the best” camera lens, hiking trail, or Python database adapter requires digging through many search results and online discussions. You’re not going to trust the first result you see in a “top-10” marketing blog post.Often, you need to read dozens of articles and Reddit threads to establish consensus on whatever you’re looking for. This is hard work, so we have an AI do this research...

Re:Using a Yubikey as a touchless, magic unlock key for Linux on Monday August 17, 2020 @10:47PM (#24194760)
Thanks everyone for the feedback on Yubikeys being stolen! I've tried to summarize it all in a footnote, and downgraded the severity of my original starting paragraph. Thanks for reading!

Yeah - here, I'll add a slight edit to the post to explain it in more detail and clear up any confusion.

Author of the post here - you have a good point with regard to SSH/GPG. (I do have a PIN on my keys.) I was targeting more the U2F standpoint - as in if you're using it for 2FA, it's obviously no better than a password if someone else can just press the little yellow button :)

Thanks for reading, though, and for commenting!

F-Droid [1] has addressed this pretty well for Android devices.

Hey guys, thanks for all the comments! I realized that it was not an ethical idea to post, so I decided to take it down. I did not get a cease and desist, but I would appreciate if you could refrain from reposting it.

If you are interested in seeing some of my other (more ethical) work, check out Delphus [1], an open research study management platform which I am working on at my new startup ;)

But iodine [1] is very slow ;) (Also with the satellite roundtrip, it probably would've worked, but super slowly.)

A good point. To be fair, though, even Lifehacker has posted a similar writeup [1] (linked in the article) and I don't think they've been threatened.

Getting caught in the air - now, that's a different story ;)
