This is why I ensure that the slaves are up to date, then disconnect them, pg_upgrade the master and resync the slaves (which is required anyways). If something goes wrong, I would fail over to the slave. Also: You don't need to be off

you can use pg_upgrade with -k - it will complete within seconds. Afterwards, things will be slow until a complete analyze updates the statistics, but the update itself can be done in seconds. I have updated ~2TB of database from 9.0 all th

It does do that. But it runs at very low priority, so it might take a while. But on the other hand, it starts warning you, first just in the log file, then on every query you issue way before it actually stops working, so if you're not

disabling system-wide is pretty much impossible. If OSes added such a toggle, people would start using their own SSL stack and overall security would suffer (because people won't be keeping their SSL stacks up to date)

If they did support keeping the history but only using it for you, it would be even harder for them to credibly prove that they are not keeping the history for advertisement purposes ("I have disabled you keeping any location history a

Maybe nobody is interested in buying ads for the stuff you are interested in and conversely, the people making ads for the stuff you dislike have so much money that it's worth it to them to invest in trying to make you buy their stuff

And this is why we want HTTPS everywhere. Yes. It would probably mean that the site is completely not reachable, but I prefer that to an altered response.

Yes. But let's assume FB doesn't want the keys (because if they have them, then it's no longer E2E encryption), then client-side generated keys in a browser are still exposed to XSS attacks and extensions. Installing a malici

So how do you manage your passwords you have for multiple sites?
768.
by pilif 10y ago
There's no way for a site to securely store keys in the browser. The server can't put them there because then the server would have them too. A client-side script could generate them, but it can't store them without extension

Whenever you click any "Save my password" option offered by any application on any OS, that password will need to be stored in some reversible encryption somehwere - there is just no way around it. And unless you want to type in a

Honestly, I think you have the best UX and the best support team and the most compelling price. I just hope this remains the case in the future and I wish you all the best of luck. I will be incredibly happy to be proven wrong on my fears.
