LastPass and 1Password are good choices if you don't care about letting others host your (supposedly encrypted) passwords.

That statement doesn't apply to 1Password; AgileBits does not host your data.

Why I like XSLT 12 years ago

I completely agree; I currently maintain an old web-app that uses xmL/XSLT and it is a complete nightmare to do anything useful.

So what you're saying is that you don't have proof of your claims. Ok, got it.

Jesus Christ, it's glue not a impenetrable force-field.

I don't know why, but I can think of many plausible examples that don't include ridiculous conspiracy theories about a company wanting to take all your money.

YNAB is amazing. Even when you don't actually need to budget it's incredibly useful to see spending habits, trends, etc.

I used Mint for a number of years, but the automated stuff was constantly wrong and the passive downloads broke all the time after Mint switched away Yodlee's data aggregation.

When did they ever say iMessage would be an standard? I recall them stating FaceTime would be, but didn't some patent nonsense get in the way?

You could replace all the 3TB drives with 4TB drives.

You could add another 4x3TB vdev to the pool to add more storage to the pool, but once you did you couldn't remove it.

Interesting! I guess that I'm not using the lowest power mode[1], but for months now I have had a ATMega328P (running on 3-AA batteries) monitoring doors w/reed switches. I haven't had any trouble w/interrupts not firing on change.

1: I'm using Rocket Scream's LowPower.PowerDown for what it's worth.

Customers always act entitled.

"The customer is always right" is an incredibly broken methodology. It works great for a mom&pop shop in a small town… not so much in any other situation.

It's really too bad that you recommend an app that is practically garbage user-experience-wise compared to LastPass and 1Password.

If users aren't convinced of the value of a password vault, a god-awful piece of software certainly isn't going to encourage adoption even if it's "free"

"free" if your time is worth nothing

For reference, you can also grow your pools by adding a new raidz array to an existing pool.

Edit: Looks like mbell and brianlweiner posted just before me. Bah :)

You're kidding right? It's trivial to turn off iMessage; it's one toggle switch in the settings.

On top of that I've had friends switch away from iPhone to Android; iOS switched to using SMS not but a day later (and I know at least some of them didn't turn it off manually because their iPhone was broken).

That's not a nitpick. Zeroconf isn't even "Apple's thing" … Bonjour is just one implementation.

That guy is ranting because ranting makes him feel important.

KeePass basically only works well on Windows and you have to trust all the other implementations that make it pseudo-crossplatform.

You mention "open-source" so much one would think its a weapon.

Agreed. KeyPass was terrible the last time I used it. Once I used 1Password I never looked back.

There are other good password managers (e.g. LastPass), but KeyPass is not one of them.

From the linked article, "We have developers in four separate countries: Canada (AgileBits is a Canadian company), the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands."

... reading comprehension …

There are good password managers, then there's KeyPass. :/

While I do kind of agree with parts of the article, the author proposes some seriously nonsensical "solutions".

Especially this gem:

""" Mobile [...] I use Ubuntu-Touch, and it has possibilities. [...] Okay, so I can’t use 3G, it crashes when I try to make phone calls and the device runs so hot that when in my jacket pocket it seconds as an excellent nipple-warmer, but I can see the potential. """

To learn more about "mobile" the author proposes using a something that's not functional ... yeah, that makes sense.
