I really try to like Firefox, but the last 5 minutes really captures the kind of papercut that happens often:

- I open a new tab and firefox informs me it has updated itself and needs to restart and won't allow any further operations until it does so.
- Fine, I close and restart.
- I reopen Firefox to find a brand new sponsored weather widget on my otherwise blank new tab page - from a source I would never otherwise visit.

Thanks for breaking my flow and the privacy breach, I guess.

Apparently what we’ve been doing until about 2010 (copy files to a server and then switching prod to this new directory to deploy) is now a hipster web dev thing that’s called “buildless”

OK, so. If someone knows where you have an account, knows your username and password for that account, knows you use a vulnerable YubiKey as your second factor for that account, can physically obtain your YubiKey from you, and has a lab full of expensive electronic analysis equipment to use to observe its behavior across multiple authentication attempts, they can, apparently, extract enough information to clone your YubiKey.

There are some people for whom this is a serious threat requiring them to rush out and immeditaely replace keys. If you are turning to random posters on the internet for analysis of this vulnerability, you are very likely not one of those people.

TFW you deploy and then notice that you don't know where you deployed to.

Good thing is that it's just a static webpage, so a couple files...

This checks out. 🧮
