Just heard this joke at work.

The good old Windows song: “Shutdown format reinstall, do dah! do dah!”

@EddieJennings has put in so much work learning and teaching Linux administration. It's awesome to see him moving up to a Fortune 100 Linux Admin! Congrats Eddie!

Thank you Scott! I haven’t been this excited about a job opportunity since I was able to land my first position from the career change.

Curious to see how this ends.

About to get outside and do some filming. It's a "gorgeous" day. I could use some not gorgeous days for a change, though.

Wanna trade? 54F here, been raining since midnight, gonna keep on raining...

I welcome the rain in Jefferson. Washes the allergens out of the air.

@jasgot said in Password Managers:

I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of my passwords being stored on someone else's storage; in the cloud.

How do you reconcile this? What specifically makes you think it is safe to do so?

I have been avoiding password managers for years because I simply don't trust other people or organizations with my passwords. But I am finding the sheer number of password I have -- to be getting too cumbersome to manage; so I am considering it again.

https://bitwarden.com/help/what-encryption-is-used/ Unless they're lying to me, this works like LastPass. The only thing that's actually stored with Bitwarden is gibberish, so if they're owned the data that's accessed is useless.

For me, the convenience of the storage and accessibility of my passwords is worth the risk of Bitwarden being owned considering how things are stored.

@notverypunny said in Password Managers:

I've gotten too used to KeePass over the years and have a hard time getting used to or trusting anything else

I have my own KeePass specifically for stuff on my work laptop.

I was a LastPass customer to turned to BitWarden.

Brainstorming:

Do you have remote access to their computer, and can they follow directions? If so maybe you can just walk them through a fresh install. Prior to that you would run a script that copies /home and other stuff to external drive and makes a bootable usb drive. After install's done, get them to log in, download remote access software, then you take control and run a script to restore their data.

I know you said non-technical, but that doesn't necessarily mean, can't-follow-clear-directions.

Just got an E-mail about a Starlink service price increase. Alas, I have yet to experience the service at the original price.
