LastPass is an enormous target, obviously. And, I guess, the inevitable has happened: Encrypted trove of passwords is "out there". Let's assume one's master password is strong. And that LastPass knows how to encrypt data

For Windows users: Install Windows Terminal and enable WSL. WSL or WSL2 are both fine (I use both). I have like 10 tmux sessions going in 2 or 3 tabs. It's a whole new level of CLI on a Windows box. Loving it.

I use both Pi-Hole on an RPI3 on a VLAN locked down for IoT devices, and OpenBSD + unbound(8) on my default network. Both options are great, and OpenBSD/unbound has been running just as easily. Here is a recent HN thread on this: http

My inner twenty-something and my not-twenty-something body will benefit from a report like this. I'm still reasonably athletic and those things look dang cool , but the pause a report like this gives is healthy. I also agree with othe

There was a time before this article when I put QNX on an old iPAQ Pocket PC. Back then (mid 2000s) it was strange to see a Unix OS running on a handheld device! EDIT: I think I found a link for it: https://eqip.openqnx.com/

I went a step further and unfollowed all individuals. I read Twitter about 1 or 2 times a week, in a browser. It starts to feel like what RSS was. It's reasonably useful to keep up on things this way. And I do "go play outside&quo

My VW GTI with 6 gear manual is such a joy. And what I fail to convey to my GenZ kids is the simplicity of it. Once I started the engine on a hill by engaging clutch. Kids were puzzled, but not so impressed. Oh well.
