darn. hidden in such a place!

and I couldn't believe what I found in there. Apparently MongoDB, which I use only for my work, linked me with my facebook account. This is crazy.

yeah, same thing here. like, how can I explain my wife that is less technical than me, that "hey, this Proton service is great for privacy and all, but you won't have Calendar widgets and notifications when I add stuff to our shared calendars", and she will be like "why?" and I will be doomed. I can accept those things, cause I care more about privacy, but she doesn't and she prefers functionality over that

on reddit they wrote the yubikeys are a thing for whole Proton and all its apps, not Pass specific. and that they are looking into it. I am too waiting for this to come for the apps, as it’s kinda stupid now to have to set the codes 2FA to be able to use yubikeys just for the web.

thanks for your help! gotta get them then for my Proton account to keep it safe and handle all the other auths with passwords and TOTPs I guess.

ok, I see some on my country sites with a reasonable price. thanks for the tips! if you don't mind I would like to ask one more question in regards to the keys.

How does they work in pairs? Like, I see an auction where I can buy one key separately, but to dont get locked out of account I would rather want to buy two. Should I look for auction with bundle of two? or I can set up two separate keys to be used for the same authorizaion?

[–] prwnr@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

that are two separate keys? or that's one key that has USB + NFC on it? cause that would be kinda good, as all my devices have USB except for the iPhone, but it has NFC so that would be sufficient enough

that are good suggestions. my bank accounts all require two steps authentications, with the second one being mostly auth via mobile app, so that part is enforced and always keeps the account secured better.

I do have one concern with the Proton account itself, as you wrote "no all eggs in one basket" rule of thumb. With the Pass, I have the 2FA integrated together with passwords (not for bank accounts) - a little risk in here with a gain on convenience.

Though I certainly do not store my Proton password in it, keeping it memorable and more than 40 characters long makes me feel safe. Im not sure what 2FA app to use for the Proton tho, would you recommend anything? I cannot use a physical key, as my devices have different USB connectors and I cannot have a one key for all.

[–] prwnr@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

that is a true concern. however in this case I have a good feature provided by my bank provider, where I can create a virtual-only card, to which I send a fixed balance amount, like $100 and that is all that card have - even tho my account may be at $1000. so given this and the e2e encryption, I guess its probably safe to store - at least the virtual cards

 

I’m using proton services and now the Pass password manager as well. I never let any managers save my bank data such as credit cards or login credentials being sort of afraid to.

Is this concern still valid? when using a manager like Proton Pass that has e2e encryption? what’s your opinion on holding bank data in managers like this?

hmm, a shame that this website is not listing anything on the icloud mail in regards to privacy. would be nice if it would show what problems are with it in terms of privacy

that's kind of double edged sword. If Apple would be to mask your purchases, they would most likely have to know about what the purchases are to hide them from the Bank. But in current state I assume (based on the infographic I posted in separate comment), that Apple doesn't know about the purchases much, thus they are not masked on the bank's side.

But I am no expert in this matter, so I may be wrong.

I'm not entirely sure if this fully answers your question or if it's still accurate, but I came across a graphic comparison a while ago that illustrates how Apple Pay and Google Pay handle payment tokens. According to this infographic, it can be assumed that Apple does not pass every payment through their own servers. As a result, even if they do store some information, it's likely not much.

thanks for the list. its nice and I see it covers up with some of the feeds suggested in comment above. thanks!

 

Are there any websites, newsletters or RSS feeds that you could redo to read/subscribe to get the latest news about Go and everything around it? Like, not only about releases of new versions of the language itself, but also about trends around it.

Is there anything like that?

 

I have been working in the industry for 8 years and am now considered a senior developer, also as a team lead.

Three years ago, my first child was born, and a few months ago, a second one arrived. While I don't regret my decision to have kids at all, I do feel bad about how the lack of free time affects my career and how my knowledge falls behind the industry.

Before having kids, I used to spend a few hours a week on never-ending personal projects to learn new things. However, now I neither have the time nor the energy for that.

The only way that has worked for me is to read some tech books, which are often not about coding, and to read some blogs or subs like this.

However, I feel like this approach is too passive and is not providing the best outcome that I would expect.

Any tips there, perhaps from someone who was is similar situation?
