Great, Thanks for the advice! When I decided to start using a password manager, I was drawn to Keypass since it is open source and I don't have to rely on any third party service. But learning how to use it correctly, and juggle your d

I currently only use a password/phrase, but I will consider using a key file as well. My concern was a brute force attack on a compromised DB file. But I guess as long as the key-file was never put in the cloud, this would alleviate th

Right, I guess my concern was a brute force attack on a DB file if it fell into the wrong hands. I looked at the main website again though, and apparently the official Windows app has some protection against this. It says however, KeypassX

Started using Keypass about a year ago, I really like it. Just wondering if Dropbox is considered a safe place to store the DB files? I did this for a while, but then I got paranoid and switched to something fully encrypted. For sharing bet

Man, I really love my Macbook pro. Such a nice piece of hardware, and the OS is a joy to use. But the more and more I learn about about their business practices, the more I wonder if they are really in line with my own values, and the more

I really hope the fires don’t get too bad. I was unaware of the drought conditions. I remember at the end of 2016 in the southeast where I am, we were in the midst of a severe, multi-year drought. Wildfires started popping up everywhere, ca

This is true. I was confused at first, but I can imagine how it would be jarring to locals. Let’s hope the fires don’t get out of control. I live in the south east, I remember a few years ago we were in a serious drought, and we experienced

So this is news because lighting is so rare there, it’s literally ‘once in a lifetime’!? I couldn’t figure out why this was here :) It is kind of weird to see this kind of reaction, to those of us in most other parts of the country. Edit: I

Yeah, I read most of it. Sounds nasty. Lots of wind, lightning, only scattered rain though? I can’t really figure out what is so insane, or even very interesting about this at all? Just that it’s uncharacteristic for the area? Is i

With all due respect... the statement that "People pay huge overhead to apple exactly because apple makes choices for them" is very silly.

Indeed, the hate has gone too far on w3schools. MDN is the gold standard of comprehensive API reference, but w3 is nice for quick simple answers in an easy to read format.

Hmm, that's a long list. I use zero extensions, and I've never really had the urge to go looking for them. Now I feel like a weirdo ;)

So if Uber & Lyft lose their appeals, I’m taking bets on how long it will take before they cease operations in California. I’ll set the over/ under starting at 65 days. In all seriousness, I’m not sure they will stop operating comp

I've always been amazed and fascinated by octopuses. Their intelligence, the way they can manipulate their bodies. Most of all the almost instantaneous ability to change their skin color and camouflage with their environment. I highly

From the article: "Facebook didn't kill Vine alone. Leadership issues, increased competition, and monetization struggles all contributed." If an app like vine was as successful as it was made out to be, why would it's

Pretty good read! But I don't like how the author tries to characterize generic ORM's like Django's as "Portability at all costs". I don't think the point is that you can switch DB's a few years down the r

This really makes my head hurt, haha. I've always heard the 7 shuffles to be randomized. Great. But if I shuffle one more time it's back to where I started? How does that makes sense?! Of course, this is dependent on perfect shuff

I have a similar setup for my personal site, although it's still a work in progress. I've really been interested in JAMstack methods lately. I build the the static site with Eleventy, and have a script to pull in blog posts from m

I don’t disagree, I think you’re right. I can just identify with folks trying to slowly de-google their lives, I’ve been on a similar mission around a year. The Microsoft name does still carry a lot of weight in the business world, so I sus

I don’t have a dog in the fight, I don’t choose Gmail or Outlook. But if I were to play devil’s advocate, I think I would argue Outlook is better on the grounds that Microsoft is not an advertising company. As a company, they don’t depend o

Looks like you have an old version. It says 0.19.6 is the current release. I haven’t tried this app but I suspect getting up to date will fix that.

I suppose that is a possibility. Declining population doesn’t necessarily guarantee declining resource usage.

This is very interesting, and unexpected at the surface level. Especially with all the doom and gloom we've always been fed about the world population getting out of control, consuming all the resources, polluting the planet into obliv

Valid points for sure. I can't say how much, or if it is worse at all than Facebook and others. Good reasons not to use any of them in my opinion. The issue for me is where the data is going and who has control of it. A quote from the

I didn’t mean to suggest we should reach for Click for simple help/manpage display. The case I used it for was much more complex. What I liked about it was the easy to use API, clear documentation & examples, and readable patterns.

I went an embarrassingly long time without knowing you could use a second -m flag. I tend to do all my git stuff on the command line. Since I learned this, I have made it a regular habit to add more detailed messages to my commits when nece

Thumbs up for 'Click'. I used it for a project once, and I was really happy with it. Easy to use, good docs. Would use it again.
