  • The definition I learned for web 2.0, as it was happening, was a shift from static web pages generated all at once on the server and delivered to the client whole, to using Ajax with in-browser Javascript dynamically changing already-delivered pages with back-end XML calls.

    We can restrict the use of software TOTP, which is what companies are doing when they move users onto the MS Authenticator app.

    Admins can’t control the other TOTP apps like Google Authenticator or Authy unless they go full MDM. And I don’t think someone worried about installing the MS Authenticator app is going to be happy about enrolling their phone in Intune.

    Edit: And even then, there is no way to control or force users to use a managed device for software TOTP.


  • This is incredibly well said and I agree 100%. I’ll just add that software TOTP is weaker than the MS Authenticator with number matching because the TOTP seed can still be intercepted and/or stolen by an attacker.

    Ever notice that TOTP can be backed up and restored to a new device? If it can be transferred, then the device no longer counts for the “something you have” second factor in my threat model.

    While I prefer pure phishing-resistant MFA methods (FIDO2, WHFB, or CBA), the support isn’t quite there yet for mobile devices (especially mobile browsers) so the MS Authenticator is the best alternative we have.







  • I have several docker servers, but for Immich I want a dedicated VM. Regardless the problem isn’t going to be setting it up, that should be easy. But for something as important as this, I am going to pore over every possible architectural design decision from the storage tier to the HA and DR strategy. I don’t want to start migrating to it then realize I wanted to do something differently and have to migrate again.

    If it’s replacing Google Photos for my family, I expect the same level of resiliency and data protection standards. Or at least as close as I can reasonably get.
