    To figure out if your email addresses are part of a known breach. Also, start using a password manager (https://bitwarden.com)

      A good alternative to Bitwarden is KeePass/KeepassXC btw

        A good alternative to keepass is a self hosted vaultwarden btw. (compiled from bitwardens opensource code iirc)

          I agree. But I think is much easier for people to use KeePass compared to self hosting Vaultwarden

          Vaultwarden is not compiled from Bitwarden’s code, it’s a separate project and codebase but designed to be compatible with Bitwarden’s API.

          Bitwarden is open source and you can self-host it but IIRC it’s a bit more complex and resource-hungry than Vaultwarden.

            They have totally different design goals which is why Bitwarden is more resource-hungry and more complex to deploy. Bitwarden can scale up to large use cases such as companies with hundreds of thousands of employees (it’s what they run on the hosted version, after all), whereas Vaultwarden is designed to be small and light for home use cases where you almost always have <10 users total.

        I found keepassium for the work phone and I was in love that I could keep a separate db with my OTPs under a password and backed up.

        Then I left that job and had to split my OTPs. Vanilla keepass for droid will gives me the OTP values for gitlab etc, so it’s good there, but Vanilla keepassium for Android has no camera/QR->OTP input that I have yet, one that works like keepassium does and is all compatible down the line. I’d love to keep using it to maintain the existing separate keepass OTP db I have.

        Do you (or anyone) know of a good combo for droid that gets

        • keepass
        • backup to box/gdoc/etc
        • qr for OTP

        In one final package? Does XC do it in a way we think may be compatible?

        Hm i switched from KeePass to Bitwarden because the latter lets me use my passwords on multiple devices and as a Firefox extension that enters my credentials at a shortcut.

        Can you elaborate why you think KeePass is better?

          I think it’s more flexible. Also, due to the databases just being normal files you can sync them with syncthing between your devices.

          In my case I run a NAS at home on which they’re stored so I don’t need to sync them. I just open them directly from the NAS.

        Is this really that useful though?

        It’s very useful if you don’t use a password manager and/or reuse passwords.

        The most useful part about it to me is the API. You can tie it in to Active Directory to blacklist all hashes that appear in any breach, plus expire/force a password change if any user on your domain uses a password that has been in a breach. It completely eliminates that vector from threat actors immediately.

        So yeah, I would call this intensely useful.

    It plots every genre of music on a 2D spectrum (“The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.”)

    You can click on any genre and get band recommendations.

        From the description, this site seems to either be a Spotify research project, or at least powered by Spotify data in some way. It’s not clear to me.

        Every Noise at Once is an ongoing attempt at an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 6,259 genre-shaped distinctions by Spotify as of 2023-07-12.

        Personally, I cancelled my spotify account and moved to a combination of Plex and Tidal, but this project is just too cool not to use.

      Maybe this will help.

      I LOVE “dissolved girl” but I’m not as Gaga about the rest of the band’s material. That sultry style cut with that music tempo is amazing.

      It’s like Finger Eleven has their their one massive departure track ‘paranoid’ – all good, but very different.

      I’ll be checking this in the hopes it’ll match a track and give me more sexy molasses for my brain.

        Same! I find the alerts come at times when there are no holidays or events. Like on a random Tuesday afternoon in the middle of June I get an alert that a game or movie is $20 when it’s been $40-60 the last 6 months. Prime Day comes around and it’s “on sale” for $55.

      Noticed via their chart that the item I wanted to buy (an air purifier) went on sale every few weeks from $340 to $199. I set the alert for $200, and the next day it emailed me saying the price had dropped. Saved me 140 bucks which was awesome.

      Works for Amazon.ca links as well.

      is there a site like this but not focused on tech ? I like it but it doesn’t have that much non-tech links

      Same concept but focused almost exclusively on dev and tech: https://lobste.rs

      Two things I learned… you can apparently see a human embryo with the naked eye and Japanese spider crabs are terrifying.

        I’ve seen one. They’re not actually humongous, just really stretched out. They’re still shorter than you, probably. But yeah, nightmarish.

      I just love searching through their photos/graphics sections and finding super cool looking stuff from museums, history or culture in general.

    https://privacy.com/ I’ve been using them for around 6 years now.

    They link up with your bank account and generate as many virtual cards as you want that are locked to the first vendor you use them on so if say McDonald’s get their card data stolen it won’t be able to charge the card for anything other than McDonald’s.

    They also make their money from the card fees so they manage to be both free and not sell your data.

      Just don’t use a VPN on their site or they will lock your account for days pending review for “suspicious activity”

      I stopped using them after that

        Oh that sucks, ive been using a vpn for a long time without issue, i can see why youd stop using them.

        That’s strange. From the moment I created my account I’ve always had a VPN on

        I have been using them for years and always use a VPN (on my home router) without issue.

      You can also set limits per day, month, year. Or make cards single-use. And use random names instead of your actual name if you want.
