    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 we…

    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. …

    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 a…

    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 …

    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…

    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 jus…

    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. Tha…

    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 sl…

    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-Fo…

    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 dif…

    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 …

    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 literal…

    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 …

    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…

    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), s…

    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 M…

    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.
