When I type 'calc' I get the calculator as the first entry in GNOME. Even after I move over and opened LibreOffice Calc, subsequent searches still gave me the calculator as the first entry. I'm not exactly sure how it works,

Oh, I didn't even know ligatures is a thing. Learned something. When coding in Haskell, I used to use the vim-haskellConcealPlus [1] plugin for vim to swap chars being display into nicer unicode chars for various operations. I'm n

Agree. It really doesn't matter to me what Ubuntu is shipped with. If they're going to spend anytime on this, why not just build a quickie wizard for installation to pick what you want? A screen with selection of Chromium, Firefox

I think in GNOME it learns which one you use more frequently and have that first instead.

Exactly. You're paying 1Password to maintain the various apps and browser plugins. Continuing to improve UX and add language support. My parents don't speak English. Not everyone does. That's what you're paying 1Password

It's not just marketing. It's also Google websites that only work with Chrome. For example, Hangout. I can no longer use Hangout using Firefox. Or I think Gmail Inbox, which also came out only working on Chrome initially. It'

A bot for reserving hotel rooms. I wrote a bot to reserve hotel rooms a year in advance for a national park in the US. It was so difficult to book. After couple days of failed attempts to reserve my desired dates, and after staying up late

You meant the kdbx file right? not the separate keyfile you can use to secure the kdbx file with. I think the feeling is the same as the feeling of just leaving your SSH private key "out there". Sure, it's protected with a pa

I used to do that when I used purely Linux. However, once you bring iPhone and Windows into the picture it doesn't work anymore.

Note that the algorithm used by pwdhash is very weak. It uses just one round of 1 round of HMAC-MD5. Not even a slow hash function. See https://github.com/dannysu/hash0 for comparison of other similar sites that all ha

do you have a particular one you recommend?

by dannysu 9y ago
Paranoia Yeah, the KeePass database is encrypted and I secure it with both password and keyfile, but I still want something that won't leave my database "out there" available for bruteforce attempts or other attempts at it.

If only there's a way to do that with my iPhone :(

I use KeePassXC [1], which is open-source, and I sync it across my iPhone, Windows laptop, and Linux desktop via Tresorit [2] (like Dropbox but end-to-end encrypted). It's secured with a password that I know, and a keyfile that I have.

If you're not sure you want to delete your Facebook account completely, but think maybe you might want to reduce your use of it, then uninstalling the app from your phone is very helpful (Assuming you have it on your phone). That worke

Got it. I only used dental as an example in Canada because majority of everything else is already covered by universal health care, so I don't have experience dealing with pricing for other things in Canada.

Even with that I still don't give doctors an excuse. There are a bunch messed up incentives there too. Such as doctors recommending more expensive drugs, or giving me coupons to buy said drug. I'm assuming there's money excha

I think what's happening is that your doctor will attempt to get as much money from the insurance company as he/she can. My wife has experience of the doctor's office asking insurance company for $X, and the insurance company

I actually haven't gotten any spam through my catch-all emails. Hopefully it stays that way. I use a completely different domain than the one that's publicly associated with me though. Maybe that helps.

You're not overly paranoid. I compiled the open-source MiniKeePass iOS client myself. I don't install from the App Store because I can't know what's in those binary bits.

by dannysu 10y ago
You don't have to use it. Also, a recently landed change allows you to exclude that feature entirely from the compiled binary if you want to build it yourself. Personally the best feature I'm using KeePassXC for is the auto-reload

What we should really talk about is the password entropy like what you've done. If you take the xkcdpass package from Ubuntu, it uses a word list of 41230 words by default [1]. That's 41230^4 and about 61-bit of password entropy.
