True. Clothes are perhaps the only thing that can be hard to shop online. However, getting the wrong fit when shopping online is kind of understandable. The real frustration for me comes from brands that fail to size their clothes properly.

I did a small study on brute force ssh attacks a couple of years back. Switching the port does a really good job dodging brute force attacks, as long as you don't use 2222. Paradoxically, port 2200 appeared to be a safe choice.

Bicycle insurance in NL is much simpler: You just need to deliver 4 keys to the insurance company (2 for the frame lock and 2 for the chain lock) to prove that you indeed locked your bicycle. Of course, this leaves room for scamming the ins

Regular bikes are lower risk to steal and easier to sell: The owner is less likely to go after you, and the purchaser also less likely to ask for proof of ownership. Stealing a bakfiets is pretty much like stealing a car: you need to have o

There's also olive pomace oil [1], which doesn't come from the flesh of the olive. It is technically olive oil, but is not allowed to be labeled as such. The packaging of olive pomace oil can be deceiving though. If it seems suspi

Preferring a formula over a password manager is advice of dubious quality. Yes, a password manager may be a hassle to setup, but it offers protection under a wider variety of threat models. E.g. using the BaseballRules!<word> formula
