  • So make the manager’s password massive. There, that complete sentence just now is over 30 characters long and could literally be a password. You can double up security with a secret file that you must locate on your PC, in KeePass, at least. You can also add notes about entries, track more than just website accounts, etc. It’s just too much brainpower to remember individual websites’ passwords. All important ones have 2FA anyway.

    Managers are local to your computer so you likely messed up big-time if it got hacked, whereas websites can get hacked entirely out of our control.

    Same… All the flash drive stuff and program incompatibility had scared me for too long… But now I’m not afraid to, like, even go to estate sales and try to find a dirt-cheap, old machine to slap Linux on and run it down into the ground until the next one lol. I can live without Cyberpunk 2077.







  • Yes, there’s a major activation energy barrier for the first time. For example, for me moving to Linux, Oracle VirtualBox was absolutely instrumental in helping me feel more comfortable. Reddit itself was also weird at first and off-putting until I simply tried magnifying the font size; back then, we only had what-is-now-Old Reddit, which was a pain to navigate at 100% size until I got used to it. Anyway, hopefully this Bluesky development will finally break X’s might, even if it’s not that much better of an alternative… and then gradually grow our own numbers here on Lemmy.

    NGL, I rotate among at least 4 accounts across different instances here lol. It was originally out of accident because of my misunderstanding back then of how the Fediverse works, but now I just randomly use them as a simultaneous, illusory boost to Lemmy’s activity as well as my own pseudo-privacy lol. I like to think that it helps overall…
