Thought most of us took whooping cough vaccine as kids. Its part of DTaP vaccine.

What are you referring to here? Care to share some sources?

Closest Notepad++ alternative I found on Mac was CotEditor - https://github.com/coteditor/CotEditor. Has all the basic features apart from plugin support.

Curious - did you write that article? The author of that article and your username seem to match. Or its just a coincidence.

> They're complaining that an evil maid attack can turn off `AppPolicy.Current.ExportNoKey` and set it up to export the document silently.

If an evil maid has access to make such a change, wouldn't it be easier to just replace keepass.exe with custom version? The source is already available. Just call this function after successful login - ignoring XML configuration, "KeePass Essentials" version, etc.

A user needs to enter their "master password" before database is unlocked - after which the silent export can be triggered. Just changing values inside the XML does not expose the passwords.

Re:Cheat sheet for if I'm gone on Wednesday June 15, 2022 @01:57AM (#31749589)

I'm banking on the emergency access feature [1] of Bitwarden (available in self-hosted version too [2]).

The "how it works" section has more information [3] but it essentially boils down to trusted individuals requesting access - which can be manually approved by account holder or they are automatically granted access after a pre-defined wait time.

Bitwarden (paid version) also claims this - "If your premium features are cancelled or lapses due to failed payment method, your trusted emergency contacts will still be able to request and obtain access to your Vault. You will, however, not be able to add new or edit existing trusted emergency contacts."

Because of this I find myself gravitate towards sports games like Fifa. Easy to get right back-in on offline career mode. I just stay away from FUT (Fifa Ultimate Team)

I thought the Shiori project was dead. Great to see it's got a new maintainer. A new release also dropped after 2 years. [1]: https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/discussions/376

Re:Amazon Sidewalk on Tuesday May 11, 2021 @08:28AM (#27117254)

The FAQ says you can disable it -

If I disable Amazon Sidewalk, will my Sidewalk Bridges still work?

Yes. All of your Sidewalk Bridges will continue to have their original functionality even if you decide to disable Amazon Sidewalk. However, disabling means missing out on Sidewalk’s connectivity and location related benefits. You also will no longer contribute your internet bandwidth to support community extended coverage benefits such as locating pets and valuables with Sidewalk-enabled devices.

Re:Bitwarden releases “emergency access” feature on Thursday January 21, 2021 @04:36PM (#25864619)

The pandemic has made me (re)evaluate how my family can get to my finances and online services. Such solutions can solve issues related to bank/trading account access and key documents but what about subscription services? All my subscription services from Netflix/Plex (less important) to VPN/Blackblaze (more important) are tied to my credit cards, which upon my untimely demise will be deactivated. My family will surely get locked out if I don't leave clear instructions on each of the services and how they can access them, etc. Then there is a technical aspect of taking over these service.

I'm curious on how others have planned around this?

Normally I do not pay attention to ads but was curious to know - what was that Santa selling! And I can't speak a word of Czech.

1:26' into the video - Is that guy praying? Read there are statues of Saints on the bridge.

Attraction Theory: The Pepsi Proposition

Establishment of a gravitational pull to shift from a “transactional” experience to an “invitational” expression.

Is this for real!! I had to look up Pepsi's current logo to believe this.

They paid $1 million for the logo (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pepsis-nonsensical-logo-redesig...)
