🚨 New Video: YubiKey 5 Review - Security Essential or Overpriced?

The "Industry Standard" is usually a warning sign.

In this video, we are looking at the YubiKey 5 NFC and 5C NFC. These are arguably the best engineered security keys on the planet. They are injection molded, "violence-proof," and they work with just about everything. But for those of us in the Linux and FOSS community, they present a problem.

Can you trust a security tool if you aren't allowed to see how it works?

YubiKey 5 Review - Security Essential or Overpriced?

@terminaltilt That's what I call "Failed at 99%".

If you even have a PeerTube link, why don't you just leave the YouTube link away? ;)

My goal is total digital sovereignty, but until PeerTube has the reach to sustain the channel's growth, YouTube remains a necessary evil for discovery. I am able to reach a lot more people with my values on YouTube. For instance, my "Windows Exodus" video reached over 100k people while I think about 60 or 70 watched it on PeerTube.

Just like with privacy, it is a spectrum and not binary. I have gotten much of Big Tech out of my life but I don't know if I will ever rid all of it.

@terminaltilt I haven't said "Don't be on Youtube". Unfortunately, it might be a necessary evil to be there (and everyone who _is_ there pushes that forward!). But here, when people read your toot, they already found you, no? Why is a PeerTube link not enough then? Why routing people from here into the walled gardens again, if you obviously have some understanding that this is not good?

Posting only PeerTube would be the more pure thing to do, the reality is that many here, myself included, still use YouTube for its content discovery and reach. I’m a huge advocate for PeerTube, but the infrastructure and discovery aren't at parity yet. I provide both links to give people the choice of how they consume the content. We’re working toward that sovereign future, but we aren’t fully there yet.
