Some countries are all-in on the digital transition and for a lot of things shops don’t even accept cash anymore. Digital QR code transfers are preferred. Be thankful that the banks that you deal with haven’t gone down this path.
2 factor TOTP exists and is secure enough for corporates to have adopted long time ago. Banks can adopt similar authentication methods but choose not to.
On the OP, not sure what the solution could be. However, going down this path seems flawed.
In a lot of counties banks are becoming mobile first. Want to login in the browser? Authenticate with your mobile app to approve. Don’t have a mobile phone with the requisites of the bank? Well, go to the branch, take a ticket, wait and then tell them what you want to do with your money. It’s not just about paying, banks are moving online authentication to be dependent on Google or Apple, whatever poison you pick.
This seems like same shit different flies. Still dependent on some centralised approval which doesn’t help openness and security. We need alternatives to the duopoly but this ain’t it, chief.
Boils down to not looking into it and being focused on other matters. This one seems quite straightforward and took five minutes to get it up.
Lost Highway VHS got pretty worn out back in the day
You’re correct, it’s a searXNG public instance. Wasn’t self hosting but using various public instances with low success. After a few searches the engines stop replying. I’ll be using this self hosted one for now. Really looking promising.
This is absolutely brilliant, well done! I’ll play around with it for a while. Was looking for a searx alternative as I keep getting no results and this is very timely! Awesome stuff, loving the Zen theme!
Yes, either Netbird or Zerotier allow me to connect to my home lan without exposing ports to the outside. Netbird seems more user friendly to setup and there’s good documentation for openwrt.
What are the upsides compared to Netbird which is based on Wireguard? Seems a bit overkill for my needs, can connect fine without a VPS.
I’m behind CGNAT and wouldn’t want to expose devices to the internet.
After everything is setup, create a network route to distribute an ip to machines connected to you lan. I can’t recall exactly but setting up Netbird was pretty straightforward when following the documentation. They also have their own for Opnsense - (https://docs.netbird.io/get-started/install/opnsense)

I’m behind CGNAT. My OpenWrt router is a Netbird server that can be connected externally. Having the Netbird server in the router allows me to ssh devices or use services as if I was connected via WiFi.
There’s documentation for Opnsense as well -(https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/netbird.html)
For redundancy. In case one has issues or changes the terms and I’m kicked out. The netbird android app also seems to consume a lot of battery so I’m trialling which one is more battery efficient.
Awesome stuff. I’m currently reusing my router and media device to host a file sever, radicale (contacts, calendar and tasks) and immich. All this stuff on old HDDs taken from old laptops with a usb enclosure. Get redundancy with rsyncing between drives and everything was essentially low cost. It’s not pretty or the fastest but good enough for my needs.
Netbird and zerotier servers in my router to connect my devices as I’m behind CGNAT. Essentially have contacts, calendar, tasks, files and photos all under my control. No fancy media player but don’t have time to watch films or series outside. Immich was the last step to get rid of google stored files. Good riddance.
All this shit because a few thousand yanks in key states have epistemophobia. Levels of retardation beyond belief, the biggliest retardation the world has ever seen. Never so many have been so impacted by a bunch of absolute morons. Back in the day they’d have been given a wedgie and been hanging off the coat hanger. But no, let’s listen to the idiots with money. Dumb fucks
