  • Imo open source doesnt explicitly mean “you can build it yourself”
    What it does stand for is that incase of issues it can be looked at and resolved. Be it finding the broken component, or looking at the designs and reporting the fault. Both of which improve the thing that is open sourced.
    As an example : the framework laptop. Its partly open source, so in case of issues i could bring it to a repairshop which then can easily look at the designs, and figure the fault.
    Or what i did with my home server sbc : get the schematics, figure out a manufactoring fault ( cracked solder on pci lane ), fix it and report it to the manufacturer ( which then investigated if it was a one off or if a solder type change was needed ).











  • I think you got it wrong what i meant (?)
    Imagine i register on a website with my username ( DacoTaco ) and email ( someEmail@domain.com ). When i want to reset my password and click the “forgot password” link, it would ask my username, not my email address (something i know) and send me an email ( to someEmail@domain.com ) without reporting what email it sent it too. That way it could be considered a separate identity factor i think (access to the mailbox, something you have ).
    Websites generally dont work this way, i know. But thats how id implement it :')
