I have worked in fraud prevention, detection and analysis. Depending on a lot of factors the weakest link is either the retailer where fraud occurs, the bank's protections systems or the customer. Retailers would a lot of the times not

I have cycled for the better part of 2 years through a busy city going to and from work during rush hour. There are very few cycle lanes so most of my cycling is done on the road with cars. The first thing to pick up on is being aware of th

I fully agree with drewcoo's comment. I cannot believe the discussions occurring here surrounding professional musicians, people who have trained for years to hone their skills. I cannot believe that the attitude towards a union -&quot

Thought I'd be an outlier here, but the themes in the comments resonate with what my 2 cents would be. The biggest change was moving to a phone that ditches all Google Play services. This included microG and other variations. The only

I'm looking for ideas that are either specific issues I encounter (over and over again throughout a day/week/month) and then explore it to see how big of an issue it actually is, if it's a minor annoyance or if someone i

I think there is a big problem in how people view AI. It's not artificial or intelligence. It is a powerful "structure" or tool for pattern discovery. A good read might be a critique of recent advances within natural language

I just moved to Signal and told everyone I was going to do that. Some have followed and some haven't. At a point I had 6 messaging apps to talk to 6 different people and it was untenable especially after moving to Graphene OS as I didn

It depends a lot on the day. My most constant notes are my personal studying notes that cover some tasks that I set for myself in a day, the work I do, any difficulties and any blockers things that worked well. These personal notes are like

Depending on where you are I would probably recommend looking at used Thinkpad P1/X1 Extreme. They tend to be within your budget if you're looking at a model from a year or two ago and they work very well on Ubuntu (Debian as well

Oracle is wildly inconsistent and I'm still not sure if I like their offering or if I hate it. The good: - My page runs on the 1 AMD VM and it has been working fine for a few months. - The VM is faster than the equivalent Github/

I think the question will invariably result in people telling you that it's an age thing. That your interests have changed and that you've matured. That you reached a point in life where you, like many others, can't spend tim

I might switch back to it as I had some delivery issues with Cloudflare on some messages, but the issue was the email size, as emails with attachments wouldn't come through. +1 for the change!

Similar to other people in the comments, I blog for a few different reasons despite having maybe 100-200 actual visitors a month. If I learn something I found interesting, I try to think about its usefulness to others. If I think it could b

It feels quite busy after claiming minimalism. Also, not a huge fan to see Disquss being used and a bunch of JS just to serve static content. Seems like most of the things us humans do - a cacophony of contradictions. Like the simple color

Whenever I reach the point of thinking about getting a laptop to replace my desktop I keep being reminded that my desktop has parts that are at this stage around 9 years old. I am reminded that it still does everything I need, it still conn

I think the idea of the participatory web came at a time when people who were participating in the web were a lot kinder and a lot more curios and open about the web in general. I remember being able to scroll through a few forums on which

Self hosting seemed so very daunting up until a year or so ago. I decided to give it a shot while struggling to find a way to keep my notes. OneNote isn't good (no Linux support), wasn't a fan of Evernote, Nuclino was crawling on

This seems similar to Barrier in Zorin OS. Not across tablets and such, but across Zorin OS devices. I remember using this to share keyboard/mouse across my desktop and laptop, but I rarely end up actually using it. It seems like one o

A service like Nord VPN or other such VPN providers setup a connection between your device and an exit point that they manage (a server to keep things in a client-server structure). So the idea there is that no one monitoring your traffic s

There are plenty of privacy respecting analytics out there - Plausible, Matomo or Simple Analytics. Depending on what your actual needs are, you can also just use something like GoAccess, logwatch, Splunk or multitail to check your logs and

If it's goal was to sound condescending, then it was achieved. But I believe it's counterproductive to spend (what I can only assume to be in the region of $100 million) to be condescending towards your audience for 2 hours. Maybe
