It is absolutely not easier to take away than to help. When trying to take away you must fight the will of those you plan to deprive. Whereas while helping you can often expect cooperation.

You can't seriously be telling me that managing 2800 secrets for a single "family" isn't evidence of a broken system. Unless GP is doing IT for the actual mafia I stand by my assertion that this is nuts and we ought to c

Sure, but for passwords you rarely use the added convenience of things like autofill seems less impactful compared to the added attack surface.

Monthly is just a simple test to see if you're actually using these accounts. I'd say start by reconsidering if you need these accounts at all and if you decide you do, go ahead and keep them in a software vault. But I still recom

I'll warrant that if you have hundreds of accounts you rarely log in to then it may behoove you to record them somewhere. However in this case I'm not sure a password vault is superior to just keeping them on an encrypted volume o

Your assertion that you need a "system" to remember multiple passwords is simply false. In fact, I generate passwords with a random generator I wrote in python, just like any software "solution". You did touch on one o

I get downvoted every time this comes up but meanwhile y'all are upthread arguing over the finer points of keeping your digital list of passwords in the cloud or on a local drive. I thought minimizing attack surface was the name of the

The court must be convinced that the parties involved are good for it or they would not have accepted the surety. The point of bail is just to ensure you show up to court, not to collect a windfall of profit for the state.

No, the bond company posts the entire amount and keeps the 10% you paid them as their fee. This is why they employ bounty hunters to track you down if you try to skip.

When I needed to post a large bail I couldn't afford I got a personal loan so I wouldn't have to forfeit the bond amount. Bail bond companies are mostly a tool for those without any assets.

This is, in fact, how bail works. But you can often get a bail bond (from a third party) for 10%-20% of the bail amount.
