Not to trivialize it, but the basic steps are: 1. Add a VPN host to your home network, either as another role on your router/firewall or as role on a host inside your network. For example, if you're running pfSense as your firewa

I wish that we had arrived at a different term for third-party VPN proxy services. I use VPN connectivity to my home network whenever I am on the road so that my traffic is encrypted over-the-air (Wifi) regardless of its protocol or destin

As a landowner, I would happily discard the mortgage interest deduction. And 1031s and depreciation allowances. Oh and toss California's Proposition 13 as well. In exchange, I would request a dramatically simplified tax code that avo

I miss Firebug for one simple reason: It detached from the browser window as a singular window that provided developer functions to all of your browser tabs. In modern Firefox and Chrome, each tab has its own distinct developer tools panel

I find the trackpad on the original Surface Book to be good. As good as any MacBook I've used, but I'm not a Mac user, so I don't think I can speak to the more subtle differences. Most reviews of the original Surface Book co

It's magnesium and not aluminum. Its keyboard is color-matched to the metal. Its screen detaches. Its trackpad doesn't take up the entire space between the keyboard and the edge. Its chamfered edge is the full width of the tra

Generally speaking you're only going to be able to fit two source files side-by-side on a ~13 inch laptop screen regardless of the aspect ratio. So the advantage of a 4:3 or 3:2 (which is what Microsoft's Surface line uses) is a

The lack of consistent behavior for Home and End is one of the things that irked me when using Macs back in the late 1990s. Back then, first-party Apple keyboards included Home and End keys so it was fairly inexcusable. Today, although the
