> How much performance gain could I get by disabling these mitigations?

@MechMK1 um ... quite a bit actualy

but I would only recommend it for an airgapped box or something on a private network

part of our standard config for setup trading servers is disabling all that crap ... but the only connect to the exchange on a private network

I think someone said like 20-30%

@MechMK1 lots :D

@CaffeineAddiction I recently found out

@ThoriumBR Its underrated, tho I do miss being able to get my system up with a oneliner like I do with choco or apt since winget lets you either import a whole bunch of installs or makes you do it one by one and not winget install app1 app2 app3 ...

Passkeys: A Shattered Dream

@FireQuacker agree

I read about them a while ago, and it was so confusing that I thought "nah, the tech is still in progress, not usable at the time"

I guess I don't need to feel bad anymore about being too lazy to try them

for me, my password manager works just fine... and for corporate side SSO, we have Okta, or Symantec secure something, or MS Auth, and they work

back when I read about it, and really went about configuring it in some sites I found it so convoluted that I gave up midway

Same here

thinking about permanently losing access to an account because my device misbehaved was too much...

in other news, MS released the source code for MS-DOS 4.o under MIT license...

yah, I have passkey a few places ... but those are all backed up by also having totp & yubikey as well

I am yet to byt a yubikey... I still plan to build a hardware key using a teensy or something, but I don't feel the need yet...

worst 2fa experience I have is ~18 years ago I tied my main email account to apple when the new intel based apple laptops came out. After 4-5 years the laptop died and I moved back to windows. But now that the Apple Vision Pro game out ... I tried to log into the account again and cant. Apparently they claim to have sent out an email saying 2fa needed to be setup years ago ... and I never did. So they account is locked ...

Doesnt have 2fa ... but requires 2fa for login

called up apple support and they said there is nothing they can do ... cant delete the account, cant move it to a different email ... cant reset the 2fa

they said maybe I should get a new email address ...

so now I have <standard email>-applesucks@gmail.com

the solution is to enroll every single human on worldcoin and give everyone that iris scanning orb... </joke>

naw, solution is to give every single human common sense ... but apparently it isnt so common these days

the amount of common sense is limited, more cannot be created, and when someone dies, a large part of the common sense he had dies with him

the solution is to destroy all technology and live in caves

there are no account problems where there are no accounts

then you have people complaining the smashy rock isn't smashing properly, and someone saying works for me

then you smash them with rock, problem solved

stone ages had such easy solutions for everything

What the fuck is wrong with Ubuntu

When you install Ubuntu Server 22.04 it allocates 1GB for the /boot partition.

But when you upgrade to 24.04 it says 1GB is too small

Apparently the 24.04 launch is a complete disaster, with lots of people saying the desktop is unusable

I remember a few versions ago if you cleanly installed Ubuntu, you'd constantly just get error messages on the desktop

Just constant messages "Oops, something crashed"

And I shit you not, the response of one of the devs was "Why do you care? It's not like it impacts you"

It's wild how badly tested one of the most used desktop Linux distros is

I know a lot of people shit on Ubuntu literally just because it's popular, but given how they have major corporate backing, you would expect that their QA team would do a better job.

And it's not like those issues occur on the most random niche hardware from 2001
