Id say its more like a brother that I know could be doing better for himself but is instead repeatedly screwing up.

This is such a tragedy. And magnetic tape from that era may or may not hold up long enough before someone finally gets around to having them digitized.

Can, yes.

Should, maybe.

Enjoy doing, unlikely.

And for sure your home isp has all the email ports blocked upstream.

With all that being said, to call SMTP dead is wildly insane. I do figure it will die someday though. Probably around the same time of universal IPV6 adoption during the year of the linux desktop.

Its been taken over by a new artist and its a lot better now in my opinion.

Octoprint is what I use. Slicing is probably the thing it woukd be least good at but all the rest is good. And theres an api to write plugins for if youre into that sort of thing.

Theres a house near me that has the 10 foot skeleton that they dress up for all the different holidays. Last year they got a second one. One of my favorite houses to looks at when I go by.

This is more like triple bolting the door but leaving a window open. There's nothing inherently wrong with the door, its still secure but you can bypass the secure option with a less secure method.

You also get additional protection because rather than each website holding onto a hashed (hopefully) copy of the user passwords that can be stolen in bulk, stealing the public keys for a passkey from a site wouldn't compromise the account. Someone would have to get access to your physical device or hack your password manager individually to get access to your passkey.

And and, the magic for most people is no more passwords and 2 factor stuff to deal with. The standard is still new, and in the cases where you want to use physical keys, its always best to keep 2 in case one gets smushed or goes through the washer. Some sites that have passkeys enabled only let you have 1 passkey. So in that case its kind of risky to make a passkey the only way to sign in.
