[Cross-Device Authentication
(CDA)](https://passkeys.dev/docs/reference/terms/#cross-device-
authentication-cda)  allows your iPhone to vouch for your logon attempt
on your Desktop because it is cabled to it or within BlueTooth range.

About the time the pandemic arrived in the US,  almost all Credit Cards
had these chips on them.   The contactless nature of these credit cards
meant germs were not spread as much.  The chip stores a private key.
Effectively, TPM hardware in your desktop or laptop or iPhone has one of
these credit card chips.  The public key can travel all over the
internet, but the private key should never ever leave the device it was
created on.

The short answer is the analogy falls down a little here because these
are master keys.  Imagine you have one automobile - a ![1957 Chevy Bel
Air](https://www.coyoteclassics.com/vehicles/766/1957-chevrolet-bel-
air).   You do not have a single Chevy key, but you do have keys for a
78 Mazda GLC, a BMW, and your house.   None of those would work!  But
you try them and it is like magic, all three of these master keys unlock

PassKeys.io is really saying there is a workaround when they write
["Phone passkeys (QR code flow) and physical security keys
only"](https://www.passkeys.io/compatible-devices).   The private part
of the passkey should never leave the device it was created on, so by
design, it should not sync anywhere else.  However, if you have a
passkey on your cellphone or YubiKey but want to authenticate on your
Linux desktop, then Bluetooth ( or a USB cable)  connected to your
desktop should offer a workaround.  It worked for me before but not sure
which Linux PC and which web browser on which Linux machine.  If your
Linux desktop has supported TPM hardware, then i do not see why it would
not work.  US DOD does it.

But a month ago, Mozilla had not announced they were inserting
artificial intelligence into our browser.  Those neural nets need to
vacuum up my 101,109 bookmarks and let me search folders.  Better yet,
the a.i. will tell us what folder we want before we type it in.

Mozilla leadership will be promising that today.  They will lean on a.i.
to squash all these outstanding bugs.   )

[Bug 1672139]

2020-06-30 Thread Robert Townley
Mark Banner,

why change the status from "affected"?  Maybe I not remembering what
"---" means in this context.

I am on Firefox 77.

CTRL+SHIFT+O and perform a search.  Hundreds of results returned that
need to be grouped together better.  But cannot right click on any
bookmark to find where it is currently located.  So how is not
"affected"?

[Bug 706565] Re: configs with dots in file name not working in /etc/cron.d

2014-09-11 Thread Robert Townley
Actually, /etc/cron.d/ is part of Linux Standards Base Core
Specification 4.0.  http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_4.0.0/LSB-
Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/etc.html

Yes, .dpkg-* are ignored for a reason, but that also ignores the LSB FHS.  If 
you installed the lsb packages and expect a Linux Standards Base system, then 
`run-parts --verbose --lsbsysinit /etc/cron.hourly/` 
should accept `org.debian.my.cron.job.sh` and 
`debian.org-cron.job.with.dots.sh` and `job.cron` and other filenames with 
dots.  

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man8/run-parts.8.html

   If  the  --lsbsysinit  option  is given, then the names must not end in
   .dpkg-old  or .dpkg-dist or .dpkg-new or .dpkg-tmp, and must belong  to
   one  or more of the following namespaces: the LANANA-assigned namespace
   (^[a-z0-9]+$);   the   LSB   hierarchical   and   reserved   namespaces
   (^_?([a-z0-9_.]+-)+[a-z0-9]+$);  and  the  Debian cron script namespace
   (^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$).


http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_4.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/etc.html#FHS-NAME-RULES
-Linux assigned names says to use dns.name.com names when you do not have a 
registered name for a particular project.

2014-09-11 Thread Robert Townley
It is actually documented further down in the man page and by the linux-
foundation.org that these files can have dots, in fact, multiple dots to
accomodate dns domain names.

** Changed in: cron (Ubuntu)
