I use keepass database that I store in a truecrypt volume which is then stored in dropbox which solves the first two items listed. With two separate 20+ char pass phrases the last issue is not one that I currently worry about.
This is not saying that this project isn't interesting, I've just found a solution that has solved these issues for me for the last several years.
I've been using a similar approach actually, with a keepass db on Dropbox. It provides a reasonable level of security assuming your passphrases are indeed random and computer generated (humans are lousy random number generators).
However I wanted to bring the security to the next level after that, and this is what Bluepass is about.
I use tera term when on Windows, it requires an install but I like it more than others. The installer does include some other weird programs that I don't like, but if you only choose to install tera term itself it is good.
As someone who lives in Seattle and has used Amazon Fresh, I actually prefer to go to the grocery store for most things. Items like produce are almost always not the best of quality, even though they have a quality ranking system. I've found that it is not worth it to purchase produce.
There is also the lack of browsing on amazon. I am fine with that for almost all other items, but something about food makes me want to walk the aisles and find food that sounds good. I do love cooking, so I might be in the minority in that regard.
I would rather walk a third of a mile to a real grocery store. That is mainly because of the produce and meats which is the bulk of my purchases. The rest of the stuff, cleaning supplies and such, I order through prime and get them in 2 days. Otherwise I would have to pay a delivery fee or meet a minimum order amount for free delivery.
Amusingly enough, I've had the exact opposite experience. I would much rather use Amazon Fresh than go to a traditional grocery store. Fresh will bring items from Amazon's local delivery service and from other local businesses around Seattle and, in my experience, has been better for produce and meats than the Fred Meyer near me. Some neighborhoods of Seattle (and the suburbs) have walkable access to PCC, or Whole Foods, or Trader Joes; sadly, Lake City seems to be left out of that for now. That, I think, is the best part of Amazon Fresh's promise: even if you're not able to walk to a market with a wider selection, one will come directly to you for a nominal price.
For produce you might look into local farms. Some have great subscription delivery services; some go the CSA route and require a little more work on your end.
I (in California) use farmfreshtoyou.com, which is subscription delivery from a local organic farm, and they're great. Your area should have similar offerings -- check out localharvest.org if you're interested.
Interesting. Slightly OT, but my family started using FreshDirect in NYC when we had our second child. Figured we'd use it to get through those tough first few months, exhaust our "free delivery" phase, and be done with it. But what's kept us customers is that the produce quality somehow is consistently better than what we can get at most of our local markets (or on par with the upscale / expensive ones).
As someone who uses Amazon Fresh, there are still things you want to leave the house for such as produce. Fresh has different categories for freshness, but I've found it not to mean that the produce is going to be ready to eat anytime soon.
I've found myself using Fresh for basic things, which the vast majority are on amazon's normal site.
On my Android phone I use the doggcatcher app to download podcasts. I go well over 3gb each month, but as a Sprint customer I currently do not need to worry about the limits.
I could certainly set the app to only download on wifi and avoid the issue entirely. However, it is quite nice to have it check hourly for new podcasts and download them at that point no matter where I am.
AT&T has pushed on us hard. We pay almost $200 for 2 people. We will be moving over to T-Mobile when the contract is up. It will save us almost $100 a month and still keep the unlimited plan. Ive had enough of AT&T for a while, im just waiting for this damn contract to be done with.
Mozilla has trademark rights over the Firefox name and logo, and they license the logo's image file under a proprietary copyright license. It has nothing to do with patents, so the new policy does not affect that issue at all.
DNS has nothing to do with ping response times. A ping requests the IP address from the DNS server and then does the ping. On most systems the DNS is cached locally, so multiple requests will use the same information.
There are also lots of libraries for powershell that make it very easy to do things. For example MS provides a great way to manage Exchange via powershell. You can even go so far as getting a GUI in powershell.
As a sysadmin I use powershell for quite a few automation and management tasks on Windows servers. It is nice to have a interface to the server that I know will always be on the server and will update by itself. There is no need to install a third party scripting language just to script simple things that are difficult to do in the standard windows command line.
A lot of sysadmins I've talked with love Aruba products. I've always thought their products cost too much money, but the wifi setups that I deal with max out at 20 concurrent users in a single ___location.
As someone who manages a few dozen android phones throughout my company I have yet to see any malware on any of the devices. If some phones were going to get infected the ones I manage are the ones.
The reports of malware on android phones are greatly exaggerated.
At this point I see both platforms at the same basic risk for getting infected. The possibility is there, but it is not nearly enough to worry about.
This is not saying that this project isn't interesting, I've just found a solution that has solved these issues for me for the last several years.
