What does the new OIDC system improve upon? (lemmy.ca)
 

I have been reading about the new OIDC system (since Element now has a QR code login). I can't seem to understand the purpose of it, as it seems that Matrix already has all of the features wanted, but more simple. Why would there need to be a new OIDC system, if signing in with services with Google or GitHub is already supported and configurable per homeserver? Why would regular user+password login need to be reimplemented, but now require a website to login instead of being able to login through something like a terminal?

The T has overhangs, and putting the Fira font page into reader view changes the font.

What font does Firefox use for Helvetica? (lemmy.ca)
 

Firefox's Reader View seems to me to show a font that is similar to Helvetica. If I try to make it use only Inter, Arial, or "sans-serif", then it changes the font. What font is Firefox using instead? This also happens in Firefox forks.

How do I determine if a CPU is better than another one? (lemmy.ca)
 

I'm looking at some old Intel and Pentium CPUs that are in a NUC. Are cores and max clock speed the only things that matter? Would a Pentium be good enough to run Immich? I have a i7-4790, and the NUCs I'm looking at range from a Pentium J5005 to a i3-1115G4. I do run Docker, does that affect anything?

Is it possible for my ISP (or the router in my network) to modify results of someone else's DNS? (lemmy.ca)
 

I am wondering if an ISP or network admin on my network would be able to change where a DNS server is located at (ex: if a DNS server is located at 132.192.175.210, the ISP/netadmin can redirect it to their own server at 11.29.102.201 to change where the DNS records point to). Does DNSSEC and DoH/DoT combat this, and how? Why is it safe to use a domain for DoH/DoT if it requires going through insecure DNS to get to a secure DNS?
