weed almost exclusively makes my anxiety worse.

I agree that there's too many websites that want you to make an account, and often data harvesting is the motive. What I'm saying is, even if that's not the case, I would still need a password manager to log into various services that require auth as a core part of the service (email, banking, social media, services with my payment information, insurance, version control, anything work-related, any paid service)

In a way, password managers are kinda the solution that prevent you from needing to involve a third party in your auth. You can even use completely open source software, and manage all the data yourself. That gives you way more control than say, oauth. Although sure, passkeys are better in many ways.

Even if we lived in a world where surveillance capitalism and personal data harvesting wasn't a thing, you still need to identify yourself.

desperately hoping this is a prime tier shitpost

Wait you guys actually still aren't using password managers? I thought it was a joke...

Yeah dad was already saying something like "let's just get like 10 tetabytes (sic) so it will be enough for a long time" lol

Thanks I really appreciate it, I might get back to you about the backups.

thanks, appreciate the info

thanks, I'll look into it

cheers I'll check them out

I've heard that name a lot so they must be serious, thanks

Yeah they have thought about backups but I'm not sure they fully understood what the best way to do it is lol

thanks!

I'll look into those, thanks

 

My parents are looking into getting their own NAS to replace iCloud. I don't really have much experience with that, and zero experience with apple stuff. They are also not very techy, but at least enthusiastic.

Can sombody recommend easy NAS products where you basically just buy a device, do some basic setup, and then it functions as your at-home cloud? I don't want to get roped into doing too much admin for them, but they do already have DDNS for some other smart home crap. Bonus if it's non-US tech.

Personally I run a nextcloud server on a VPS that I could expand, that's not quite selfhosted, I don't know if that integrates well with apple though, are they better off if I just onboard them onto that?

Cheers in advance

Hi, so I usually use the US/International keyboard layout (mobile/android,heliboard) However this doesn't let me write many European languages, even those using the latin script. It's honestly terrible. How do I get the Polish L and the C and S with an upside down ^ type thing on it from slovenian? halp

 
 
 

Hey, I've been hearing a LOT about the xz backdoor. Crazy story, but rather than reading 10 different articles about it from 3 days ago when the story was quite new, does anybody know a high quality write-up that has all the juicy details and facts? I really like in-depth guides that cover every aspect of the story.

Thanks in advance guys!
