Why every TOTP app default uses SHA-1 hash encryption?

I use Aegis as my 2fa. Today on new token creation I observed that there’s hash function set to SHA-1, later checked all my tokens and the result is same type of encryption used for all. So I have edited all my tokens to SHA-256 as a result my totp doesn’t authenticate. Do I have to rescan my tokens for updating to SHA-256...

You should be using bcrypt or something similiarly designed to hash passwords, since they are much safer than sha256/512. Sha is not designed for hashing passwords and therefore a fast algorithm which you shouldn't use for passwords

what does depmod -a do?

BentiGorlich,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

I definitely don't want to deal with that. Last time that happened I had to do a clean install which is just pain imo XD

Are you using KDE or Gnome?

BentiGorlich,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

That doesn't sound promising, though I am using Gnome, so at least my DE is not getting the biggest upgrade :)

nvidia RTX 2070 super. But that was from 38 to 39. I am not on 40 yet

very nice

BentiGorlich,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

Nice though. Sounds like I can do the upgrade 😁

BentiGorlich,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

I decided to upgrade, and so far everything is working fine. I had some hiccups after the installation, but a reboot fixed all of them. Thanks for your input :)

My Gnome is in German and I do not know which point is meant by "Desktop":

@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

Omg you're right, I am using the Forge extension and that had a setting for it, thank you :)

BentiGorlich,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

i installes forge (gnome tiling manager) and that had an option for it

Well that sucks...
that vlad dude is ehm... weird. I am happy with the service I am getting from Kagi, but such behaviour is not acceptable...

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

I use Organic Maps to find places by name and OSMand to find places by address. Both can only the do one of the two things good, but it is doable.

BentiGorlich,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

OSM is not that user friendly as Google Maps for sure, but if you really want you really can replace GMaps. It probably heavily depends on your country and if the OSM community is active there, but for example here in Germany the mapping information is basically on par with GMaps

I Don't have WhatsApp anymore. Though I just deleted my WhatsApp account and said that I am no longer reachable via that crap. If you want to contact me use Signal. Most of my friends just installed Signal (a few took some time), but if you don't do it that way you will never get away from WhatsApp just because of the network effect...
And yes, you will miss out on some groups

I've had Threema for a while even before that, because my family group migrated there. Though I do not have a lot of contacts on there :D

You have to use an app for that. OSM is mostly a big database with an API access to it. There are a lot of them out there with a lot of different focusses. For navigating with a car OSMand is pretty good. They are on fdroid.

BentiGorlich,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

Gotta look at that. Live traffic info is one of those things, that OSM lacks...

they did? totally slipped past me...

I am rocking a Fairphone 4 with iodéOS and I am very happy with it. Though I am definitely not phone power user...

BentiGorlich,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

FDroid is a native app store, aurora is preinsralled as well as microG. I don't use any google apps and have none installed. Afaik there is no option to have GAPPS with iodéOS.
They do sell the fairphone with the OS preinsralled which is very nice and iodé is from france which is a plus in my book as well 😁

I really dig the design. I gotta test it out 😊

Fedora 38, one year ago. I am on 39 now and had to do a reinstall. It has its problems, a lot of problems actually, but is still miles better than windows in my opinion

I started playing unsighted. Its the first game I've been seriously playing since november 😅

@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

All Paradox Interactive games ever created 😂
The worst I had was Hearts Of Iron IV. I played a 2h tutorial only to not understand a single thing the real game threw at me afterwards...

BentiGorlich,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

Don't get me wrong, I love most of them, but the learning curve is very steep and the tutorials in most of their games just suck...

Your favorite board games?

What are your favorite board games? Me and my friends love playing board games, but I get the feeling their tired of playing the same things. What do you guys usually play? My favorite board game of all time is HeroQuest. I never get tired of playing it. Also love Catan, Arkham Horror, Betrayal House on the Hill, Spyfall (great...

Twilight Imperium, really? I only played it once and it was the longest, most boring experience. Each turn just takes an enormous time, almost as long as a Warhammer 40k turn and I played with 5 other players. When you were done with your turn you could go for a really long walk and when you came back you wondered how the hell they just finished 2 turns...

I really really enjoy boardgames, but not ones that take a weekend to play...

(this isn't meant to insult you, I am just seriously wondering if my experience with it is a lot different than yours or if you like boardgames that you play an entire weekend)

Well with gloomhaven its multiple clearly seperated missions though.
My limit is at about 4-5h with a game that I've never played before. If I played the game before the limit is at about 3h I'd say 🤔
