I use a Samsung Chromebook 3 with Linux installed in a chroot via Crouton. http://bryangrohman.com/ubuntu-i3wm-chromebook/ It's a bit underpowered, but it works just fine for my personal use which includes some li

Sounds good to me. (DuckDuckGo teaming up with Firefox, I mean.)

On the subject of privacy, I'm interested in migrating away from Google services, but I have years' worth of data tied up there (email, photos, music, movies, etc). I know Google offers ways to download your data, so it's tec

I use a Chromebook with Crouton as my main personal laptop now, and it has worked well for me. I'm using i3wm instead of a traditional desktop environment. http://bryangrohman.com/ubuntu-i3wm-chromebook/

Yes, it's still using the same kernel.

What about the chroot/Crouton route?

I've tried Google Takeout, but I have several hundred gigs of photos, so uploading them elsewhere will be a pain. Plus, wherever I do upload them will be lacking many of the features from Google Photos.

Interesting that the article offers no alternatives to Google Photos. I know there are options, but they all seem to be far behind in terms of features. Plus, migrating all of my photos out of Google Photos would be pain.

Cool visualization. Interesting to see how big the Debian family is compared to the others.

What will the price be once it's available? Also, why not use something like OwnCloud on a cheap desktop box?

Yep, it's good that LastPass seems to respond quickly to reported vulnerabilities. Who knows how long those issues existed before getting discovered, though. And some of them were quite serious.

For a minimalist static site generator, I think it's hard to beat just writing your own that does exactly what you want and nothing else. In a hundred lines or less of Python, you can have your minimal generator, know exactly how it

I have the Samsung Chromebook 3 (same size and resolution). I don't mind it at all. By comparison, the 14" Lenovo from my employer has the same resolution and looks worse. The Chromebook is no retina display, but it's not tha

"As far as Debian/Ubuntu (and crouton), that's fine as far as it goes, but then you don't end up with a Chromebook, just a cheap mini-notebook with flaky drivers." Hmm, I'm not sure about that. I went the Crout

I've read most of that book and can recommend it. Buy a copy or check it out from your local library if you're curious and/or want some ideas for testing at your own company.

I think the title should be updated to match the article: "Amazon makes cloud contract more customer-friendly as rivals loom" This isn't about making anything easier other than legal questions around Amazon's contracts.

Hmm, I wonder if Wikipedia intentionally allows users to add HTML or if they just missed some input sanitizing. Or could it just be clever use of the content editor - maybe the editor allows you to specify image dimensions? Still not sure h

Sure, take a look on Google's Project Zero and search for "LastPass": https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/list?can=1&q... Or search the news for LastPass security issues: https

I switched from LastPass to KeePassXC a few months ago after reading about some LastPass security problems. I really like KeePassXC.

"The purpose of reading is not to pass some final judgement on the text, but to engage with what it has to offer to me now." Agreed, and I can't help but wonder if an exploration of that topic would have been more worthwhile.

Yes. I use multiple browsers, too, so I built a bookmark manager web app for personal use with grouping, tagging, and search.
