Yep, me too. I have Thunderbird running in the background essentially as an email backup, but I wind up using the web version more. However Thunderbird and Bridge work extremely well that I forget they're running in parallel. I'm

Yep! I run it myself and it works fantastic. And my contingency plan if I can no longer self host, is export from one of my devices and import into the cloud version of Bitwarden. I don't see myself needing to do that, but you never kn

Google Takeout works really well, but you can also connect using IMAP or POP3 to download all your emails with an email client like Thunderbird. Then, if you've setup a new email account with another provider, you can connect using IMA

Yep, same. After this last G Suite fiasco, I finally moved my domain off Google onto another host that I pay for. It's nice to know I'm supporting a platform that cares more about privacy than Google. Plus, it lit a fire under me

As long as your spf record allows Google to send mail, you can. You need to setup an "App password" on your Google account. Then, when you create an alias, you enter smtp.gmail.com and your app password credential as the smtp serv

I prefer it since 1080p takes less resources to drive, therefore gets better battery life. On a 14" display, I think 1080p looks more than fine. If I want a hidpi display, I'll just dock to an external display.

The only way to get the original quality photos is by using Google Takeout. Before Google made changes to Drive, you could use rclone ( https://rclone.org/ ) to sync originals. That no longer seems to be the case, unfortunate

I definitely would not want to use a hostile machine to access my servers remotely, period. Sure, this will let you bypass outbound port restrictions, but it doesn't help in the slightest if every keystroke is keylogged.

They won't even create a fix for their software after blatantly disabling TLS server validation in their FortiSIEM product: https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/154702/Fortinet-FortiS... They use the "-

I agree with most of the article. However, what I do disagree with is how they lump "security experts" into a single category: Computer experts like to pretend they use a whole different, more awesome class of software that they

Is it though? In most installation guides I've dealt with they recommend disabling it since it can cause random issues. i.e. The Percona XtraDB install guide. I find that it's way too complicated of a layer that most people can&#x

Really.. They had to make the entire article a hyperlink to the tweet?

I'm in the same boat as you. I use a work Chromebook at home and new MBP with touchbar shudder at work. I love how "updating" the Chromebook is a simple restart. It's quite literally seconds to be back to where I was p

Yes, some devices are getting more difficult to repair. However, Microsoft and Samsung aren't the ones lobbying to make it ILLEGAL to fix device. Apple has sued over people taking displays that were still good, but just needed the glas

Apple isn't perfect either. I'm not trying to defend Google, but Apple is going after the right to repair and trying to make it illegal for you to repair your own device, let alone 3rd parties to. So if you're someone who res

Can you elaborate on that please? I'm actually looking at buying one since there should be a price drop happening on them.

LE certs can still be used in those cases. We use LE extensively for the (somewhat critical) project I'm on. We centralize all certificate creation from our deployment server(s), so that we just push the certs out when the servers are

Neat concept, but there's no cost to running your own internal CA and having MongoDB trust that instead. Since you're already likely going to be running automated tools to deploy MongoDB (I assume), you can generate your own certi

This is what I use, but also use Syncthing to sync it between my laptop, phone, and raspberry pi and fileserver (for backup). It works very well from my experience.
