  • I can let my kids play on my computer without them screwing up my personal browser history or getting into any of my accounts without having to teach them how to use yet another extension.

    Vivaldi has a great example of profile management where I can literally create a desktop shortcut for each person that uses my computer, complete with their name, and it’s their own separate internet profile.

    Yes, I’m aware I could solve this problem by using multiple user profiles on my computer, but the overhead and the amount of management would also be a massive headache. It is just far easier to do this.








  • This is a really interesting read, but this dude missed a major component of best practices, which is that your architecture needs to be able to respond to a proper disaster, which includes Amazon just dropping out of the sky and nuking your entire account.

    Frankly, it’s shocking that he didn’t have local copies or a home server that he kept backups too. I’ve seen some people mention that a multi-cloud architecture is hard to set up, which is true, it’s also expensive, but I don’t think it would be super hard to set up, like, a blob storage in Azure, or a Google Cloud Storage, to just keep backups of whatever you’re working on. We should always keep in mind that our accounts getting locked is always a possibility.

    It’s kinda weird, normally when you hear about things like this, it’s the other way around where somebody was running a major production component on personal infrastructure and couldn’t handle the bare metal.


  • During the entire article I kept thinking how it wasn’t best practice to use the same cloud for everything, that you needed a different cloud because occasionally, your account can just get nuked from orbit. People dont understand that these corporations are really just held together with luck prayers and duct tape. Software enables us to develop in the worst ways possible, and then call it production.







  • I tried using a wireless Logitech mouse the g305. Dead in a few weeks. I tried using the wireless steelseries Aerox 3 which only lasted a few weeks.

    I ended up with SteelSeries Prime Neo Noir which is wired but has none of the issues I was having with the other mice. This would be my recommendation if you can stomach The Wire





  • You can develop apps on Android that do not utilize the notification system that sends information to Google.

    There’s an entire development system called f droid that specifically focus on not utilizing Google services or Android services.

    Graphene we’re entirely correct in their through critism of the application as some one that works with application security and privacy professionally.
