I’ve never been one for the managed password apps like onepass or lastpass. Instead for years now I’ve kept everything in keepass shared out through Caldav. There’s an application on every single OS or marketplace that’s compatible.

In the short term you could have the elderly relative + a caregiver, be that family or other, live in one of the tourist areas of Mexico. It's easy access to quality healthcare and cost of renting is very reasonable.

A few hopefully helpful comments from a single white male 38 year old American that's been living in Mexico for the last 8 months. These aren't meant to be all encompassing and are from the perspective of a guy in a supermarket ho

It's surprising at the end of the day just how much one can accomplish with consecutive sessions on focusmate. But then I'll forget about it and go a month or more before I use it again. Great call out.

I'm currently formally learning Mexican Spanish in Mexico. In day to day life here it's very uncommon to hear the pronoun. The only exceptions I can think of are 'Usted/Ustedes' or 'Nos'. Using or not usin

Speaking for the USA, the ADS-B data stream you see on FlightAware's commercial feeds has military and police aircraft data filtered, even if those aircraft are broadcasting that information. While ADS-B data reception is public, certa

The person mentioned in the article bought the meters off eBay and is reversing the firmware off those. Perhaps they’re identical to what’s on his house but it’s implied he’s ‘phreaking’ over his city’s power grid and that’s not the case at

TFA mentions anting "is a rare occurrence". While I didn't know what the birds were doing until now this happen semi-regularly on my neighbor's front lawn just across the street. There are two specific spots they like. I

Worldtimebuddy is great but if you're looking for something even better, on Mac you cannot beat 'The Clock' app. Exact same functionality as Worldtimebuddy but goes farther and allows renaming those clocks. If Dan is on EST a

Somewhere around 2001 I bought Suse 7.X. It came in a fold out with each fold carrying a CD. 6 folds for 6 CDs but the 7th fold was the DVD and it had all the 6 CDs of data plus more. That just about blew my teenage mind.

We all know Synergy and for basic setups it gets the job done. I paid for the v2 Pro license to support them and will keep doing so. I have moved over though to using Barrier, a synergy-core fork. You get ssl crypto for free, and it fixes s

My assumption has always been that a clean phone in airplane mode but with WiFi enabled would not use the cellular radios at all. In that mode would a cell tower still be in communication with the phone at some level?

Here's an article[0] in Esquire by the son, William Burroughs JR., about his parents and specifically his time living with his Dad in Tangiers. The son died of alcoholism at 33. It's worth the time to read all of it. [0] - https:

A more meaningful comparison is if you can optimize your code so that it runs 10x faster that means it will also run just as fast as it is now on something 10x slower. That's like going from needing a small server to something you coul

Is there a difference between disallowing an action and denying it? I think so, and that word choice matters. I see this pattern everywhere. Do you disallow someone on FB, or do you block them? Does iptables use disallow as a keyword? I do

Switched to a safety razor (Also called a Double Edge) after Mach3s had been out for awhile and they started jacking up the price. That must have been 2005ish and I've not really used anything else since. For quality of shave there is

Suse has been around just as long as RedHat, put out a great suite of products, went for-profit, and seems to do well in the EU market. They've never generated as much buzz - good or bad - though. Is that just my perspective from being
