It wasn't the crypto key pair part I was referring to, it was the part where fido is geared towards interactive user auth, not non-interactive storage.
It wouldn't have surprised me if the ssh devs hadn't put implementing fido support for host keys high in the development list, or that it was tricky to find documentation for. Using something like a tpm is the more typical method.

There's no technical reason it can't work, and the op got it to work so clearly the implementation supports it, but that doesn't mean it's the most expected setup, which means it might have unexpected gaps in functionality or terrible documentation.

Pretty sure they meant the whole "do one thing, do it well, and prefer composition" part.

But I'm more interested in what parts of systemd don't follow the file metaphor, and what things you think shouldn't follow that metaphor? How would you interact with those things?

Unfortunately, I think you're going to run into trouble because fido authenticators are geared towards working as user authenticators rather than as device authenticators.
It certainly should be possible from a technical perspective, but implementation-wise, it's very likely that the code focuses on making fido devices work with client keys, and using tpms for host keys, since that's much more focused on headless server functionality.

Oval peg in a round hole.

Two! Now you do yours! What's two states a human can be in, plus one additional state a human can be in? I have such faith in you little guy!

Eh, sounds like they grabbed a stock photo to edit into the main image without seeing that it was AI. It's not like they produced it despite their commitment not to, and they pulled it and apologized when it was pointed out.

I don't really feel disappointment that they picked the wrong stock photo.

And two plus one is ... ? C'mon, I know you have it in you. You can do it little buddy! Or will you just say the same thing again because you're not good enough at this to add some spice to your troll?

If I'm talking about how many heads a person has, I'll count their heads, not decide reality before I observe it.

You're still too stuck on that one bit though. Now you're insisting that a person with two heads has one. It's a fun twist but the same joke.

I really want to see you develop your toilet humor though. I know you must be able to come up with some stupendously baffling answer for where people who don't fit in your binary world view pee and what goes on their driver's licenses when you've dictated that there's only two options, and anyone who doesn't fit into those three boxes based on a concrete, scientific genetic screening we'll give to all infants along with followup to verify gamete production is insignificant to the point where we don't need to think about where they pee or what goes on their drivers license except for nothing matters more than where they pee and what they put on their drivers license so we need to talk about nothing else except for stuff that doesn't matter because people who don't fit into our binary are so uncommon that they pose an urgent threat to women, girls and their sports.

I really want your best material for where they pee.

You objectively suck at trolling. You're just giving up on your stupid joke before you can even get anyone really riled up?

You're not a very interesting troll. You keep going on about the same ”2=3" thing. If you have a nullable Boolean variable that variable can be in one of three states. If you have a cup holder, full cup/empty cup/no cup are three values.

Someone who wasn't trolling would think to themselves that maybe Doctors know more about physiology than they do.

You still can't think of a good answer for what bathroom this third sex should use can you? I think you should say we need to build a third standard restroom. Since, as you say, not having a glass is the same as not having an apple, this bathroom would be available to anyone who doesn't have a sex, which is to say anyone who currently has something not in their possession.
Ooh, or maybe anyone not producing gametes can use either restroom? Or would it be that they can use anything as a restroom?
That's a fun one. "Postmenopausal ~~women~~ persons are legally allowed to pee anywhere because stopping gamete production makes you lose your sex".

The biggest issue is that the birth certificate is typically done at a very local level, usually the county, and not anyone can file one. It's often the case that a particular person at a hospital or a registered midwife needs to file the application. Parents can report a live birth outside of an institution but you need to physically go to a courthouse with the baby.
A different group of people is responsible for social security cards.

If one county clerk files a huge number of birth certificates and uses them to back social security card requests, it'll be noticed.

There's always a way around the paper trail, usually by just making sure no one bothers to look at it, but they all involve adding more people to the conspiracy, which adds more risk.
No one will notice that one doctor delivered 500 babies in one day if no one looks at the paperwork, but each person involved increases the likelihood of a mistake causing people to look, which almost certainly will cause those details to be noticed.

It's similar to how people do a huge amount of any fraud, and then once a thread of detail gets noticed the entire thing is unraveled.

Your best bet is to minimize the number of forged documents. I would predict that a single person could most easily get a non-citizen us national passport for someone to assume an American somoan identity. Since there's comparatively few non-citizen us nationals, a passport is the federally preferred method of identification. Since the territory is an edge case, there's more room for slipups, and since you're not posing as a citizen, you have an excuse not to have some records.

Biological sex is commonly used to reference reproductive function. You have listed three reproductive functions. Ergo, three sexes by your reckoning because there are three states. "Male/female/null" is still three things.

C'mon. At least make your trolling fun. Pretending that three things is two is boring. Share some weird ideas about where people you would put in the third category should go to the bathroom.

“This reads to me as coming from people who desperately want the world to be simple — for sex to be a simple binary and for us to return to some imagined time when this was more broadly accepted,” [Dr. Josh Snodgrass] said. “The problem is that it’s not only science that shows us that human biological variation is more complicated, but other cultures do and have also appreciated this for thousands of years.”

Snodgrass added that there is one more thing missing from the executive order that belongs in all conversations about sex and gender: empathy.

“The authors of this executive order seem like they are trying to twist science to fit their worldview, but that this worldview is painfully out of step with reality,” he said.

If you read through an article with multiple doctors saying something, and then your conclusion is to be confused and wonder how they could be wrong like that, I have news for you.

Also, you contradicted yourself pretty quickly. First you said there's only two sexes, then you said there's male, female and "neuter". That's three. Do you think that infertile people should be prevented from listing a sex on their drivers license? Should they get to pick one? What bathroom do you want them to use? What if they're infertile and they have genitalia you didn't expect? What if they're infertile and they modified their genitals, which bathroom should they use?
