Show Notes

"Last night, lightning struck our house and burned it down. I escaped wearing only my nightclothes. In an instant, everything was vaporised. Laptop? Cinders. Phone? Ashes. Home server? A smouldering wreck. Yubikey? A charred chunk of gristle. This presents something of a problem." – Edent Today we read a story told from the perspective of someone who's entire life changed by the strike of lightning, and suddenly they were locked out of everything. A great short read to start thinking about the failure modes of our security setup, and which definitely got me to reconsider a couple of elements of my own system. With more and more of our value digital, this is increasingly important.
