Readit NewsI haven’t personally setup Tailscale yet, but looking at this it seems possible and not too difficult https://github.com/videah/kobo-tailscale
The actual feature doesn't seem mind-blowingly useful to me, in the era where most of my form fields get populated for me automatically anyway. Doesn't seem bad, just I don't see it being a life changing thing. I'd hope it does not work as a way for the Post to learn a little bit about my shopping habits. Probably not. Who knows.
But what I think is cool is a ten-year commitment to any computer-based system, which is sadly rare to see these days.
> Risks and Countermeasures When Using the Service
> 1. Obtaining a Digital Address involves the following risks. Please use the service after understanding them.
> a. If a third party learns your Digital Address, they may be able to determine the corresponding address.
> b. Randomly entering a Digital Address may display the corresponding address.
> 2. Our company anticipates the above risks and has prepared the following mechanisms as countermeasures.
> a. Digital addresses can be deleted immediately, and the linkage between addresses and digital addresses can be disabled. Note that even if deleted once, a new digital address can be reacquired.
> b. The system has mechanisms to detect and prevent abnormal searches, such as a large number of searches in a short period of time.
> c. Even in the unlikely event of a personal information leak, our system is designed with leakage risks in mind to prevent personal identification. Digital address data is managed in a separate database from personal information such as email addresses and phone numbers, as shown below.
It's an official ID card you're required to update by law every time you move, and they plan to link the address of both systems. Meaning every time you update you address on your ID it will automatically propagate everywhere.
In Japan the MyNumber system is live since a few years and a single card can already be used:
* As driving license
* As a unified heath insurance card
* As a unified way to retrieve prescribed medications, lab results, vaccinations..
* For doing the taxes and receive pension
* As a foreigner residence card (very soon)
* For digital signing of official papers (as a way to replace the Hanko stamp culture, it's working but not yet widely used)
The digital ministry is also expected to unveil an Apple Wallet integration in a few months to avoid having to carry the card.
When users accidentally deleted these apps or switched devices, they often lost access to their TOTP tokens, leading to a flood of support requests. Banks tried to "fix" that by integrating TOTP directly into their own apps.
This allows bank a sort of token persistence (and user tracking, and being able to send push notifications, wanted or not).
1. https://github.com/pgaskin/kobopatch-patches/releases optional but nice to tweak some small ui details and get rid of ads
2. https://github.com/videah/kobo-tailscale to have a secure connection with your calibre-web instance, but you could also use self-signed certs
3. https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/wiki/Kobo-Integratio... adding books to calibre-web will cause them to appear on the device the next time it syncs with calibre-web
There is always a connection between the military industrial complex of a nation and the state.
If France feels that it is an existential threat they will not let the design and maintence of their weapons be dependent on an operating system produced by a company based out of a country that has threatened them.
I'm not saying that this will happen. I'm saying that should this happen you know France is serious about eliminating dependencies on unreliable and threatening countries.
