Problem setting up 2FA on beehaw.org
  • You are, as you already know, absolutely right. I even found documention on the web supporting my findings so I didn't look further. But pasting the WHOLE URL allowed me to add it to Bitwarden.

    Thank you!

  • Maybe it's a Vaultwarden self-hosting issue (vs. using bitwarden.com). Or maybe it's that you're using the Bitwarden TOTP app whereas I'm referring to the Bitwarden password manager.

    All of the other codes inside my Vaultwarden password manager are working except this one. I added "&algorithm=SHA256&issuer=Beehaw" and that did not help.

  • Storing the secret key inside bitwarden produced incorrect codes. Due to Bitwarden only supporting SHA1 while Lemmy/Beehaw using SHA256.

  • My experience: Beehaw/Lemmy is using a SHA256 hash for the secret key. A lot of 2FA apps only support SHA1. So you'll need to find one that supports SHA256. I used Google Authenticator. I thought I also saw that Microsoft Authenticator works too. Storing in Bitwarden doesn't work.

    Good luck.

    I would definitely do all my testing in private browsing or another browser while leaving a browser window logged in to disable 2FA should you need to.

    What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?
  • My experience was Slackware in 1993. Some kid in another dorm was running it on his computer and he gave me an account on it. I'd dial into the University network and telnet to his server to mess around. I believe the kernel was 0.9x something.

    Over the years I'd used Linux in various forms: built a router using Linux at a job, installed Slackware on my desktop at home using floppy disks, ran Redhat on most of our infrastructure (web, samba, ftp, sendmail, openvpn, ...) at another job, run Arch Linux on my desktop at home along with Debian in my home lab.

    Should you never make a root partition anymore?
  • Your wording is hard to understand. Are you asking if you can make /usr its own partition? If that's your question, you can. You need to make sure that "usr" and "fsck" are in HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.

    I can see how /usr can balloon in size. My /usr is 22G with 1613 packages installed.

    Do you prefer contacts or glasses? Why?
  • I play tennis wearing contacts and wear glasses the rest of the time. On the tennis court, glasses fog up too easily. Off the tennis court, my contacts are just not clear enough (and my up close vision with contacts sucks -- yay progressive lenses).
