We’ll its a private key, so just a few kb of data. You can likely put it on all sorts of devices. Most services that use it will require some of the above, so I doubt the usefulness, but the same goes for most passwords.

Im curious how you access your passwords with the above criteria. Are you using a notepad with dozens/hundreds of unique passwords, some kind of dice based randomizer, or just a few passwords for many sites?

Nope. The private key can be backed up, stored in an online password vault, copied automatically to other devices, whatever.

There are good and simple answers to this issue.

Passkeys are becoming the industry standard. They are better in nearly every way, but would not have been possible before smartphones.

They are unique for each site, not breachable without also having a users device, not phishable, and can’t be weak by design.

Rancher is owned by Suse, which is mainly a solid steward in the community.

They also have k8 frontend called Harvestor. It can run VMs directly, which is nice.

It’s not a tradition, it’s the correct nomenclature. The article I posted isn’t talking about history, it’s talking about how rate/rank works in the Navy.

Your link has to do with ratings, I.e. jobs. That is a distinct thing from rate, i.e paygrade. It refers to enlisted by ratings and paygrade, never rank.

As to military ID, they use a generic format that has “rank” and “grade” listed. This format is used for all US armed forces, enlisted and officers, and as such is a generic catch all since all other branches of the military use rank for enlisted. For uniformity sake, the card omits the Navy’s odd quirk.

Youre mistaken. A “rate” is where you are on the E1 - E9 paygrade scale. A “rating” is your assigned job, what you get after A school. A Fireman has a rate of E-1/3. He does not have a rating because he hasn’t been to A school. You can also “strike” for a rating by testing into it, but thats rarer.

There is more history about this confusing system here Note that this is from a .mil site specifically about Navy history. The article is from 2019.

The United States Navy’s enlisted rank and rate system is unique among the armed services. The first point of divergence is the term “rate,” used in the Navy rather than the more-familiar term “rank,” which is reserved for naval officers and warrant officers. The second unique aspect of Navy enlisted rates is the inextricable linkage of rates, which represent a Sailor’s pay grade, and ratings, which denote an occupational specialty. For example, where a notional Sergeant Smith may have a military occupational specialty (MOS) of infantryman in the Army, he would simply be designated Sergeant Smith, both in conversation and on official documents. A Sailor of equivalent rank/rate with a rating of boatswain’s mate would be Boatswain’s Mate Second Class Jones. Thus, the Navy combines rates and ratings in Sailors’ titles.

To complicate matters further, the Navy considers Sailors in the E-1 to E-3 pay grades “nonrated,” meaning they do not yet hold a rating.

Enlisted only have rates, not ranks. It’s a weird navy thing. Enlisted also have “ratings” which is your job, I.e aviation tech, boatswan, etc.

Youre also talking about firemen/seamen/constructionmen/etc. These roles are e-1 to e-3 and have a rate, but not a rating.

In my experience, no one knows the rank/rate distinction and everyone just refers to rank. It’s not something they explain well.

No problem mate. Text can be a bit opaque at times, but it’s still a joy to be able to talk to so many people about so many things.

The commentator asked if ships had “a scuttlebutt” anymore. Im well aware it’s the term for gossip, but since gossip isn’t an object, I assumed they asking about the drinking fountains.

Ships do still have them.

Hence the officer in the title, yes.

Warrent officers are also generally insanely talented motherfuckers that had too much disdain for the bureaucracy of the military to start over as an 0-1, and instead sit in a weird middle ground of “so much talent they were elevated up to officers from the enlisted ranks by direct request.”

That means that they are right, and you are wrong, and I mean that with complete respect.

Enlisted dont have rank in the navy, just rates. Check the article I posted.

Extra fun is that the head chief never gave anyone else the password. She logged into each of the other chiefs devices.

She could have 100% also typed in the ssid at the time. It would have taken almost no extra effort.

Enlisted dont even have ranks, they have rates. They also have a rating, which refers to your role, I.e the job you do.

Yes, they all have drinking fountains. Absolutely no one at all calls them scuttlebutts though.

Yes and no. The auditing is likely the harder part. You can use something like tailscale or nebula vpn to get the always on vpn/ACLs. With a dozen or two devices, it should be doable at a home scale.

If you want clientless zerotrust then you’re talking heavier duty things like Palo alto gear and the like.

An Anne frank fold out phone would be a hell of an art piece. I think it could give Lisa Frank a run for her money.

I know you’re being sarcastic, but the same witness confirmed no one was throwing rocks anywhere nearby when she was murdered by Israel snipers.

ZeroTrust is a specific type of network security where every network device has its access to other devices validated and controlled, not a statement on the trustworthiness of vendors.

Instead of every device on a LAN seeing every other device, or even every device on a VLAN seeing other devices on a VLAN, each device can only connect with the other devices it needs to work, and those connections need to be encrypted. These connectioms are all monitored, logged and alerted on to make sure the system is working as intended.

You do need to trust or validate the tooling that does the above, regardless of what you’re using.

Jews can certainly act in solidarity with Palestine. Many do.

Or are you alluding to Zionists using the phrase as a rallying cry to justify their indiscriminate mass slaughter of the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West bank?

As usual with charged phrases, context is king. A cry of solidarity for a people enduring genocide? Likely okay. A call for mass murders to escalate their mass murder to new heights? Not okay.

They were banned for refusing to follow Brazilian laws, specially laws about disinformation. Twitter was banned in Brazil because its actively working as a propaganda outlet.

Propaganda = authoritarianism
