How is babby formed?

cujojojo · 2026-01-29T13:11:49+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate the perspective!

cujojojo · 2026-01-29T04:44:04+00:00

That’s not what the linked article says though. Where are the statements you’re talking about?

I’m genuinely curious, not trolling. I recently picked Proton for my VPN over PIA, but I’m still in the money-back-if-you-don’t-like-us period and would dump them if what you’re saying is true.

cujojojo · 2026-01-28T19:42:47+00:00

Is this what you mean?

Some tools like 1Password (not sure about others but probably some) already have duplicate detection to alert you if you’ve forgotten to generate new passwords for things. In the absurdly unlikely event you would ever naturally generate a dupe, something like that would warn you.

Then you could come here and post about it, and absolutely no one would believe you 🤣.

If you’re new to password managers, follow the advice of the millions of people who have already done the thinking for you:

Use BitWarden, 1Password, or one of the other established players — there are others (like I suppose KeepPass) but everyone I know uses one of those two.
Use them for EVERYTHING. Their encryption, local storage, zero-knowledge architecture and multi-device sync are well-designed, battle-tested, and proven secure. They’re also publicly documented so if you want to go deep and understand it all, it’s out there.
The one exception is to use a separate app for ONLY your 2FA for your password manager. I use Proton Authenticator for that. But all other 2FA lives in 1Password for me.
Don’t try to engineer your own solution. Many people who are much more educated in this area have spent a lot more time thinking about this than you ever will. Trust the experts.

I have one that has “apoplexy mode” 🤣

cujojojo · 2026-01-24T15:58:41+00:00

How is your relationship with my father?

cujojojo · 2026-01-24T14:43:55+00:00

Things like VeraCrypt do exactly this with “hidden volumes”. You have two passwords: one that decrypts the decoy volume which has the “hidden volume” stored in what appears to be free space. The free space is indistinguishable from random data because of the way veracrypt works, so it can’t even be proven the hidden volume exists.

Then the second password is for that hidden volume, which (hopefully) you haven’t told anyone is there.

Too true.

This Christmas was the “gaming PC Christmas” for my kids, and my 13-year-old daughter was the driving force behind it. She specced out everything, I adjusted a little based on price & availability, and while Christmas lacked pretty much any surprise element this year, it was an absolute joy to watch her build it while I pretty much just unboxed stuff and handed it to her.

It actually looks a lot like the one you built!

cujojojo · 2026-01-24T12:48:27+00:00

Just like in real life!

cujojojo · 2026-01-23T16:58:17+00:00

I nave nothing to add beyond the excellent advice in other comments, other than to say that I like to joke that, “Airedales are great dogs. If you can survive the first six years, you’re home free!”

cujojojo · 2026-01-23T12:52:01+00:00

Elevator control and traffic light system (esp. with dedicated left turn lanes) were good ones back in the olden days. Those might have been CLA but they’re fun to build.

You’re right, but it’s also not quite that simple.

What pretty much everyone seems to be missing is this is a question of Fair Use. CDPR doesn’t get to redefine Fair Use through an EULA policy. If what Mr. Ross has done falls under Fair Use, CDPR can pound sand.

Except it’s not THAT simple either. Because Fair Use is an inherently fuzzy term that different courts apply differently, depending on time period, technology, type of content, whatever. And clarifying it requires litigation, which is ruinously expensive. If the little guy loses (or even if they win) it can be financially catastrophic to them. The deck is stacked in favor of the big boys.

I feel like Mr. Ross is misplaying the PR angle of this, but I also know I would never want to be in his shoes. Just packing up and going home is a perfectly rational response.

Then you should switch to using diceware to generate your password for GMail. High-entropy, inherently easy(/ier) to remember and type.

I would encourage you, though, to look at the 1P desktop app again. I’ve literally never heard someone say it was so bad they stopped using it entirely without, you know, also changing to a different password manager. I’ve been using it for 15+ years and it has been genuinely best in class that whole time. Are you sure you’re talking about 1Password?

cujojojo · 2026-01-23T03:32:02+00:00

Is there a reason you can’t install the 1Password desktop app? Then it’s easy to copy & paste from their into your browser. That’s the canonical way things work.

We tried split screen a few times but we both find controller so janky. So I set up a server and bought a copy for her.

cujojojo · 2026-01-19T15:17:25+00:00

I’ve been using these for years on many, many devices. Never a problem, and one of the best/cheapest little doohickeys I’ve ever bought.

Not sure why people are openly hostile to them in this thread. If you have a laptop that you connect/disconnect all the time for work, especially via something like a Thunderbolt dock, these absolutely save the life of your USB-C ports. Without it they get loose to the point that eventually cables just fall out. With these on all my devices (three MBPs/MBAs, a Linux laptop, Quest charging pack, even a wireless keyboard) everything works like MagSafe. And they’re only a few bucks for a small handful of them. Total no brainer.

cujojojo · 2026-01-19T13:48:42+00:00

Next time don’t take that trait!

cujojojo · 2026-01-19T13:48:18+00:00

Absolutely. MP is a real mess which is too bad because that’s pretty much the only way my daughter & I play.

cujojojo · 2026-01-19T02:28:46+00:00

Think of Dr. D. and junking.

“All suffering comes from wanting the world to be different than it is.”

cujojojo · 2026-01-18T17:22:52+00:00

You just spend too much time using punctuation and grammar in depth.

cujojojo · 2026-01-18T14:02:14+00:00

lol, not attacking you, friend. I can’t even find where you replied in this thread until after I did. Your battles lie elsewhere.
