Before they were using a custom AES-based key derivation function which had not been strongly peer reviewed so Argon2 is a big improvement there in my book. ChaCha20 over the existing AES-CBC... not as much, I feel more comfortable in that

Servers usually have pretty good fans, as long as you're not doing anything extremely intense you're probably fine with just air cooling at room temp like any desktop PC, we've run them on shelves in a non-ventilated lab for

I would not suggest this as KeePassXC does not support the new KDBX4 format with the upgraded cryptography - only the old Keepass format which relies on a custom AES-based key derivation function, which I cannot in good faith recommend. O

I use the open source Keepass2Android which is open source and supports the new crypto, has just about every utility I could want. https://keepass2android.codeplex.com/

Agreed - I was tolerant for quite a while as the vulnerabilities seemed obscure and the handling seemed good, but they kept cropping up in more and more obvious ways. When KeePass got a crypto upgrade recently I jumped ship. I loved LastPas

KeePass recently got an Argon2 KDF and ChaCha20 as a cipher. I highly recommend it, good mobile apps, pretty simple UI, control over your own DB, sync it with your favourite tool, I use SyncThing as its Android support is excellent.

Have a link to your more advanced Git courses? I feel like I've got a solid grasp on the basics, but could use some help with more advanced features, when I get into hairier reverts, rebases and merges things can get confusing.

What don't you buy about it? If a tax preparer doesn't give me the return I'm expecting, you can bet I'm going somewhere else or using different software the next year. And of course the government wants to maximize reve

At least in the software case it pretty much is that easy. It's incredibly straight forward, no special user interface or IO, just basic UI and basic math, just a bit on the tedious side to get all the forms together and up to date.

Why not just use free tax prep software which doesn't need to be government funded and cost taxpayers. Maybe the US is different but in Canada at least this is well supported - even endorsed by government.

Sounds like a good idea - one of the main ways I learned programming... and still wind up doing all the time is to just copy examples and hack them into shape, understanding what's necessary, what's not and how they'll respon

It likely would prevent the vast majority of bugs that are actively exploited in security breaches. Sure, bad logic bugs happen of course, but more often than not they result in bugs relating only to their own area and often somewhat limite

GitHost seems incredibly expensive. For $150/mo for their most basic plan I could easily rent a basic dedicated server or VPS from for $10-40/mo. In my experience this takes about a 1 day investment up front then 1 hour/mo (b

It's a LISP dialect. Brackets are essential to tell the difference between arguments and function calls... take for example in C: foo(bar(1)) would in lisp be (foo (bar 1)). If it were to just be "foo bar 1", you couldn'

Out of curiosity, why did you move from self-hosted to gitlab.com? I run self-hosted and I've been quite happy with it. Cloud anything just seems like begging for this kind of problem.

In this case it's just behind a use flag, but regardless it seems to me like this could be fixed with a relatively simple wrapping library. SDL for example supports outputting to OSS, ALSA, PulseAudio, ESD and with a patch, JACK. What

I think a lot of people, myself included will just straight up lie, use bullshit accounts, give bullshit zip codes, etc. It's often times easier, gets less looks and gets the job done in a straight up utilitarian sense.

Yeah... it's sort of a lose-lose honestly, I think the model used in Canada and the UK is quite good - the government forced the big ISPs to lease last-mile lines. Keeps a working free market with competition, many people started switc

The catch with the Kindle and why I would suggest the Kobo over it is that Amazon has tried and in the most recent firmwares has succeeded at blocking modifications. The Kobo has no such protections, it's fully your own device and you

Someone else already commented on it, see that thread. It's trivially bypassed using current tools.
