I've never met someone that didn't hate their rewritable CDs. After a few months of reading/writing they would go bad.

I agree, some floppies are particularly bad as well, but most I've handled worked okay

It's not always DNS - unless it is

I do not know about video, however for audio there is already GGMorse (play store link) available for both modern smartphone platforms. You can communicate with Morse using UHF as well, but in my opinion it does not work as reliably as standard Morse code.

If you're curious, you can try talking to your friends with SSTV, but I'm afraid there isn't a free iOS app AFAIK

I know you said to not use third party applications, but syncthing can do this well. Plus you can sync more than just passwords if it's useful to you.

I'm dying to see how the new region is. Mountain Pass seems like a pretty terrifying place to be in!

Also the Cougar.

Let's go back to web 1.0! (Or at least 2.0)

That new region looks amazing. I hope they add a bunch of secrets to explore as well

When will it stop? No really?

I understand this is a non-issue for your home network, but as I understand it, the real risk is when using a VPN in a public and untrusted place (e.g. a coffee shop) as most teleworkers do

I selfhost Vikunja on a small 1GB RAM VM. It has views for list, table, Gantt and Kanban (I assume that's what you mean by not manually reordering?) You can setup reminders for your tasks like any project management tool as well.

You can access its web interface via port 3456, so no syncing or external app is needed, it's all browser based. Of course, you can setup a wireguard VPN to access it anywhere.

I work at an educational institution that doesn't really prioritize security, or anything IT related for that matter. We are a very small team (3 people) and we can't really enforce any institution-wide training. We send regular PSA emails and that's about it.

Of course, we have control over password policies and external access through workspace management tools, but we don't have control over a lot of higher-up decisions. I wish I could enforce even stricter password policies but it's just not possible for the higherups.

I was thinking of raising funding for some sort of cybersecurity day event at the institution, but when it comes to funding, you know how generous educational institutions are.

Not strictly career related, but how can I make regular people aware of the importance of cyber security in day to day work? My nontechnical colleagues really brush off security as an optional measure and it's really pissing me and my coworkers off.

Will surely hike up there once I get some better clothing. Wolf furs take so long to craft!

On a sidenote, what theme did you use for Kubuntu? I've scoured the webs for all kinds of themes and none do it justice.

I was always curious about those. Surely they can't be faster than computers right? I mean, whatever computers they have in the 24th century.

Thanks everyone for your input. I think I'll go with ivy, black eyed Sally and clematis for the walkway. Its going to be constantly maintaned so no worries about ivy getting everywhere else. Thanks again!

Thank you for all your advice! After digesting just about every Thinkpad T and X model I think I'm going to settle for a T440p as my main work machine and a X220/X230 (with keyboard swap) as an ultra portable. Just waiting for the right deals on used thinkpads in my country.

Framework seems like the ideal choice but right now it is out of my price range. For long term however it does seem like the best choice right now.

That MNT laptop sure looks fun to use (and modify to my liking). However it is expensive. But I do like its open mindset

I actually never used a dell, but it looked like a decent laptop with a decent price (used, 160$ with 8gb ram + nvme) plus notebookcheck were pretty positive about it.

Do you recommend any particular lenovo?

They'll never encrypt my 2000 DVDs!
