Yeah that’s going to be a very handy feature and a strong motivator for me to get the untracked amount down to zero.
Possibly not relevant to your use case, but one point that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is that for many SUVs that are available in both FWD and AWD, the tow rating will be significantly higher for the AWD version (like 5000lbs vs 3500lbs for FWD in the case of the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot)
Matrix (federated) or Briar (multi-modal P2P) are both good options for getting rid of dependency on central organizations.
That’s news to me considering the EPA-rated fuel economy of vehicles with both hybrid and pure ICE drivetrains is universally higher for the hybrid versions.
An ICE vehicle needs a much larger engine than is truly necessary due to the inefficiencies and limitations of mechanical transmissions, whereas a hybrid can have a much smaller, more efficient engine.
A hybrid can potentially act like a ‘perfect’ transmission, capable of taking in power from an engine running at its single most efficient RPM and, with the aid of battery storage, produce any combination of speed and torque that has an average power less than the output of the ICE.
Realistically, the target audience are organizations as nowadays most business laptops are being carried between docking stations with the occasional meeting or air travel in-between and 13" is an excellent size to meet those needs.
When hooked to a docking station, the screen size and keyboard is entirely irrelevant and modern laptop performance is…honestly crazy good.
When in a meeting, it’s probably being either used to take notes fullscreen or show a presentation, so pretty neutral.
Finally, when traveling, you can really can feel the difference between a 13" and a 15" when you’re running on too short of a layover between flights.
The Walmart app provides historical receipt data if you have an associated card. A few months ago I spot-checked a ‘standard basket of goods’ (food and household items often repurchased) for myself between then and the end of 2019 (right before covid), and the average increase in price of those goods over that period of time was just about 50% overall for my personal basket of goods.
And if they somehow do, rest assured that red states will use it as an opportunity to disarm LGBT folk for being ‘violently mentally ill’ before the ink is dry on the decision.
Very similar heuristic here, insofar as when to use passphrases and how long.
LUKS and Bitlocker volumes get 8 words, computer logins usually get 4 words (potentially more depending on frequency/criticality of system).
Smartcards and mobile devices do have numeric pins due to frequency of use and relative difficulty in copying those for offline attacks.
Websites that are filled in w/ password manager get passwords get the random symbol-laden strings that ‘meet requirements’
If that is the threat model then Signal is not and never was fit for purpose at all.
Because every time I’ve complained about not wanting to give my phone number to sign up for Signal I’ve been lectured about how Signal is “all about privacy, not anonymity and those are not the same thing” and how that is good for the average Joe even if it isn’t useful for journalists and activists, and what you’re saying goes completely against that by suggesting that the police are somehow unable to get the phone number out of the thing that uses the phone number as the user id.
You’re describing how a real privacy-focused app like Briar functions, but definitely not how Signal does.
What exactly is the point of full disk encryption if the system auto-unlocks on boot?
FYI, your purchases are already thoroughly tracked like that starting as soon as you walk in the store, app or not.
Plugging pass/Password Store/Android Password Store for anyone wanting a good wrapper around git+pgp for desktop/Android using a YubiKey or similar hardware security key. It has pretty good OTP support built-in.
Not actually used it. I started off doing local backups, B2 was an add-on way later down the road.
I only do automated copy
to B2 from the local archive, no automated sync
, which as far as I understand should be non-destructive with versioning enabled.
If I need to prune, etc. I run will manually sync and then immediately restic check --read-data
from a fast VPS to verify B2 version afterwards.
An external hard drive is a lot faster than my internet connection and helps fulfill 3-2-1 requirements.
I backup to an external drive and then rclone copy that up to backblaze B2
I use restic with a local external drive that is then synced to backblaze b2 via rclone.
I also really liked Google Keep. Carnet was at one point a decent drop-in replacement on Android+Nextcloud, but it got progressively bitrotted over time and now I just use Nextcloud Notes until I find something better.
