Private keys on an anonymous, untraceable smartcard. PIN or Matching-on-card fingerprint for the second factor Everything else can go directly into the garbage bin

OTP in the password manager Private key pkcs#12 in a contactless smart card plus maybe a pin if I'm feeling fancy

I'm more worried that after splurging on EVs now we don't go through with the act that actually makes a difference. After all we've already got the personal social reward of doing "the right thing tm". We can party and forget the climate doomerism my new Tesla saved the world, yay ! Personal responsibility and the free market has prevailed !

The very idea of necroposting is the basis for these moderator opinions. It is not a neutral term, the idea of necroposting is a negative attitude toward all late posts, it is a permission that all moderators give themselves to delete late posts, lock threads or even, auto lock after a determined period of inactivity. It makes these ideas, prominent on search result into literally unassailable answers. Which is the secret desire of all moderators, to decide the final word.

A few percentage points reduction in co2 emission isn't going to move the needle. The whole grid has to shutdown fossil fuel energy production for this transition to make sense.

This is the attitude that leads us to search results polluted with forum threads with bad, unchallengeable ideas (because they're locked). Almost all web1 forum are becoming digital flotsam because of these bad moderator opinions.

How is that really different from the same comment 2 second after. It just isn't.

Just ban hammer low the value commenters don't lock the thread for moderator convenience.

fossil fuel power plant are tops 40% efficient while ice powered cars are around 33%.

If you power you EV off a fossil fuel power plant, then that difference, minus the grid losses, the charging losses and then the inverter and motor losses, is how much co2 emissions you are saving.

Of course that's assuming your driving habits don't change, with that high upfront investment and relatively lower per mile costs compared to using gasoline.

And that's not to mention the one time emission from the production of that EV amortised on its 15 year hoped-for lifetime.

Beside capturing government subsidies and the arbitrage saving from using temporarily cheaper electricity as fuel, I don't see EVs making much sense either from an economic or a saving the planet standpoint.

Without a zero emission energy production as the source, EVs don't make sense beyond hype and cope.

All fossil fuel electrical generation, and that includes natural gas, has to be shutdown. Or else it will not make a lick of difference.

That is nowhere near enough. It's 33% versus 40% difference between co2/kWh . we need zero co2/kWh or else it's all a waste of time.

It's only acceptable if we are transitioning to zero emission grid. If we stay on natural gas then it won't even move the needle.

No , if you run EVs off a grid fossil fuel generator, that's the difference between 33% and 40% efficient. It's not enough to move the needle. It doesn't even pay for itself in terms of emissions.

The energy source absolutely has to be ZERO emissions as well. If not then it's just climate cope.

We already have to have key rings. Centralized DNS is just a second, superfluous layer of authority (and a massive grift) on top
