  • If you can afford it, I personally highly recommend just buying two USB-C hardware Yubikeys and storing it on there. Built in back up and if you put it on your keyring, it’s always nearby. You can still use your phone to access the code as well.

    Not exactly super helpful for solving this problem but since you’re already going to have to reset or get new accounts, it’s a good time to switch over if you’re interested.




  • You’re not wrong but it feels disingenuous to say this. The entire repo with all of its dependencies checked out for a large website can easily clock at half a gig but there’s no popular website now that’s asking any users to download half a gig worth of stuff before they can use it.

    There ARE websites where, if you keep them open long enough, they’ll constantly pull more and more data (usually for ads) but even that is measured more so in tens of megabytes.

    And none of this is to say that websites haven’t gotten too big, just that comparing a downloaded app’s size to the size of a website’s unbuilt unbundled source with all of its dependencies is an unfair comparison.
