Cops don't need to execute people's pets. They have bullet proof vests with steel chest plates, riot shield and metal clubs, tazers that pump 10,000 volts into 'suspects'. The list goes on and on. But people need to train their fucking dogs. Half of them might as well work for the police.

You want something done? You march into someone's office. And when I say march, I mean march.

You could turn it off and turn it back on every X period of time, but that doesn't guarantee something doesn't go wrong in between. It sounds like you don't have alot of data relatively speaking. Is there a reason not to keep it on your present machine and do the above? Cost? IIRC you can get a 1 tb m.2 for under $150.

I wasn't uncomfortable. I was thinking get it girl! It takes a lot of courage to go to a school and teach kids the goat mother birthed them under a pale blue moon.

TIL Thank You

There's often the 'security vs. convenience' tradeoff, but for most people you have both sides with Bitwarden over KeePass.

Bitwarden is undoubtedly more convenient. If you can create an account, you can use it. I have a family account, and have both of my parents using it. The love it now, but given the friction to get them there in the first place, it would impossible to get them on KeePass. Especially because they wanted their passwords on all devices.

Regardless of using Vaultwarden or KeePass, you need to have quite a bit of expertise to self host. And you are trusting your own ability to secure your attack surface. I'm sure many if not most in this thread can, but it would take me quite a while to convince myself I have. I would much rather trust security professionals.

Somewhat, although, potentially related. Have you seen Bitwarden's git repos? It is immaculately organized.

Consistent, clear naming convention. There is literally one called 'self-host'. If you put that much effort into keeping your code that useable/available/auditable etc. Oh yea. I'm going to trust you to handle security for me

Yes. That's true. Not to be argumentative, does KeePass have the features that are paywalled by Bitwarden?

Can you flip the switch so to speak?

Why KeePassXC over Bitwarden or VaultWarden?

We are not worthy!

You might be able to select all. Wait 3 hours. Press 'mark as read'. Wait another 3 hours. And then unsubscribe as the bullshit hits your inbox

Also. Move read emails to the archive people. That's what it is there for.

If you are an expert, why are you asking pee ons like us?

Literally cut the cord for them. Seriously though. If they are happy with it and can afford it, I'd just leave it alone

My mom uses them for dog poop too

Email management. Like at all. Set up filters and use the archive. There is a key to do that. And holy fuck 2432 unread emails? You should be ashamed of yourself

Excuse me. It's American cheese food product to you. You uncultured... I mean it uncultured...

Yea... Better than the rash I got from patches tho

Gum

Alacritty. Alacritty. Alacritty. And did I mention Alacritty? (I'm just counting how many I have open atm)

Got Liz and Dick Cheney

Hit the nail right on the head for what they want. Why do you think they are making laws to ban porn? It's a hide behind think of the children to get your foot in the door to control more

What if you 3d print a 3d printer?

Linux is grown. BSD is engineered

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely will do it myself. I do wonder if this is like the crosswalk button that only give pedestrians the illusion of changing the light

Why is this abomination, which is the bastard amalgamation of pre-existing tech patentable? Oh right patents. Never mind.

IIRC, whisper interfaces with openai

These people run and own the largest polluting inustries in the world, removing them does not solve the problem. We must strip them of their power and additionally remove their destructive legacies.

This is my biggest issue too. In the ideal situation, I "trust" my bank. What I have an issue with is whenever I buy something it becomes part of the "public space" of data brokers. Maybe they only trade information on what my breakfast cereal of choice is. More (most definitely) likely is that everything I buy is there for any third party to see

That's certainly true

That's a good idea

It's probably a colonialist name that isn't used anymore. It's now known as Eswatini

Swaziland and Switzerland

While a good solution in principle, it could (and likely will) false flag accounts. Such a system should be a first line with a review as a second.

Also why index funds. Low cap in particular. Index and mutual funds are both collections of stocks. You spread your risk that way. Stocks rise and fall rapidly.

The difference between them is that mutual funds are managed. People will try to predict the market and build and change them. It gives people the impression that someone's working to make sure they have the best fund possible, but the reality is that predicting the market is basically impossible, so you pay extra for that self assurance. Index funds are static so they are cheaper

Both mutual and index funds are built of a collection of stocks from various companies based on what is called their market capitalization. That's roughly what a company is worth in it's entirety as well as its ability to generate revenue. Large caps are things like your giant tech companies. Medium caps are smaller. Something like walgreens. Low caps are companies that have just ipo'd.

The reason for choosing low caps is they have a much larger potential to grow in value. Apple isn't going to double in value, but a new start up could. Spread your risk around many startups and a few are going to increase in value many times over. But it also mitigates your risk as it's a group rather than just one.

Low cap is a long term plan. Buy when you are young, and hold onto them for 20 to 30 years. IMO it's the best tradeoff between growth and safety. Leaning more on growth.

When you approach or after retirement, trade them for something really stable like US treasurey bonds. Those hardly grow at all, but they also tend not to lose value either.

I also don't actively invest. Your job will set aside a percentage of your salary that goes directly into an investment account. That percentage is something like 5%, but in workday or whatever your job uses, you can set how much you want. I've set mine as high as 30% before. Try to keep as little cash in your bank account as possible with a rainy day fund set aside. Cash doesn't grow in value. You don't want a lot of it.

So what happens to the money your company puts into the investment account? It is automatically invested into something of their choosing. Typically something middle of the road because it is the same for all employees regardless of age. So what you want to do is log into that investment account and change what it is automatically buying to whatever it is that you want. Set it and forget it.

This stuff can get really complex, so listen to what several different people have to say. This is just what I do.

Yea vanguard is good I hear. I have a bank account with bank of america, so I use merrill. Chase has their own investment firm. Most large banks have bought one. Take your comfort where you find it with banks. I'm honestly not a fan.

There are also independent ones. I also have an account with tiaa, but that's only for educators. You might find something tied to your industry as well.

That's a very good point

In Ford v. Chevy, there is now a front runner for the shittiest.

That's true. Most are perfectly fine provided they have a computer ready to use. Straight out of the box. Immediately. The lack of choice itself is comforting. Everything moves forward. No lateral motion.

We must provide them that type of "thing that just works". Constantly move forward. What is comfortable. What is familiar.

Depends on what it is. Universities spend millions of dollars on academic journals. I imagine libraries have collections which are similar. Still doesn't make it right
