For me it’s the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they’re being spied. Here’s the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won’t use it or haven’t used it in a while.
They, whoever it is, can’t really spy on you on something that’s already off and unplugged!

I have done stuff by myself they in anybtime before yt would need someone to show me.
Whem car mechanic tells me I have problem on my car I can find yt on how to detect it and how to solve it. I don’t get knowledge to do it, but I can definitely appreciate their work more and not think they are just ripping me off.
It is amazing what we have and take for granted.
Youtube has helped me save on so many home repairs. 400 service calls become a 30 part and an afternoon of taking the dryer apart with video guides.
I’ve been helping my parents renovate their house recently, and I’m trying to get them to understand this. Just watch a video, it instantly gives you context for commonly agreed upon solutions. You don’t have to reinvent solutions to solved problems.
For example, my mom decided to refinish her cabinets doors. They were painted with one layer of a typical latex house paint you could even still see the original finish in the brush strokes. I sanded the paint and the original varnished finish off the interiors in just a few minutes with an orbital sander.
She decided that because she saw that her aunt use a paint stripper on Facebook, that she should do that. So instead of sanding it down to wood in a few minutes, she’ll coat the doors with stripper, scrape the paint off, clean the caustic paint stripper off, and then sand the varnish/wood at the end anyway. I tried to explain this, and pull up a video showing how messy and overkill the paint strippers were, and she got mad that I played a video.
Meanwhile, my step dad was helping me install quarter round over their baseboards, I showed him 3 options to finish the ends. A simple 90° cut, a standard 45° bevel, and another mitre with a tiny triangle to round over the end. I explained that the mitre looks the nicest, but it takes twice as long to do.
He proceeded to freehand two bevels for half an hour with a dull chipped chisel. They were completely uneven and jagged. Then I explained he had to repeat that work 18 more times in the hallway alone, assuming he was happy with his… handiwork.
They have been trying to finish renovating this house for 20 years. Now I see why it is taking so long.
This is exactly what I do with my tobii eye tracker. I’m a bit paranoid about what it can see so I have it plugged into a USB hub with power buttons that I just disable when I’m not using it.
Reboot fixes a ton of issues.
And if that doesn’t work check the physical connection by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Is my client bugging or is this comment empty?
idk have you tried restarting it
Nah, looks about right and empty
SFTP file transfers, I’m guilty of forgetting about it myself sometimes.
Whether it’s Syncthing for keeping device data synced and backed up, or just wanting to get a file from point A to point B and using your preferred SFTP client like FileZilla, it can be really easy to forget just how easy these are.
+1 for syncthing.
I can try and help a bit with Syncthing, it’s got a couple idiosyncrasies that I feel like I’ve come to understand.
Which aspect of it is troubling?
How would I sync game saves from steam deck to pc and vice versa ?
Well, one device says it’s syncing, but the other doesn’t. Or it just doesn’t detect changes even after restarting it. In the end it somehow works but the UI feels finicky.
If I use USB, scp or sftp or something it just feels straight forward. I say x and it does x or I get an error. With syncthing all that is hidden and it’s confusing.
I also once had an error on a specific folder. I tried deleting and adding it again, but it was still broken. I searched online and it might be because I deleted a hidden folder. I occasionally delete stuff I don’t know. And it wasn’t able to recover from that or provide a proper error message.
All in all I think I’ll keep using it and banging my head against the wall until it works for me. It could definitely use some UI/UX touchups.
That sounds similar to the issue I ran into, Syncthing will create a .st-ignore text file (can’t remember the actual name) that links the device folders together. When I’ve deleted that I’ve encountered similar confusion and problems trying to get new folders running.
If you have Android clients, I’ve found Syncthing-Fork to be slightly better for the initial setup.
What I’ll tend to do when I have problems is remove each folder I’ve set up in Syncthing from both devices, then I’ll usually create a new folder path for my purposes. If I’ve already set up when I’m trying to accomplish then I will either rename it (sometimes it helps) or just try from the beginning again.
For example, I want my tablet to get videos from my phone and my PC, and I want these files backed up in general. So on my phone I create /Send-to-PC and on my tablet I create /Receive-from-PC. Either the host or the client can initiate the synced connection for the first time setup, so it’s just a matter of naming the Syncthing Label (such as a comment descriptor about the folder, like Media), setting the folder path within the client device (on android this might be /storage/SD-Card-ID/MediaFolder) and then choosing which devices will be connected to this label (usually via a tick-box with the Host or Client name). This is usually it, but you do have the option to set Folder Type for whether you only want to send, only receive, or send and receive, as well as Watch for Changes.
These last two may also be part of what you are noticing too. For example, if you have Watch for Changes disables, you’d have to wait for the scheduled upload, which can save phone battery by not having it sync constantly, but can also prevent syncing quickly when you want it. Or, more likely what you may run into, Send & Receive being the default can result in some odd quirks when you the Host removes an uploaded file to the client. All of the sudden your project file is vanished! This happens to me from time to time, as I’ll upload a video I want to edit on my tablet, then I’ll move/delete it since I’m in the process of editing, only to remember that Send & Receive makes it so that the client also moves it from the shared folder.
Anyway this probably isn’t very helpful, but hopefully seeing a tired rundown of how someone else uses it gives you an idea of what may be happening on your end!
Ok, I hear you. But here’s the secret: I don’t want to use a webcam at all. If you want to see me, agree to a physical meetup. Obviously that’s not the only reason.

Awk, sed, and grep.
mind expanding on what these solve?
Awk is a helps you do any kind of processing of semi structured text data.
Sed is a stream editor which lets you edit a file using commands. Which is tedious until you need to replace something in a bunch if files or make very specific edits across a large number of files.
Grep is just find pattern in text file.
You might have a different type of person in mind than other commenters. Most commenters had such people in mind who won’t install a password manager or an ad-blocker, or won’t hard reboot their Windows unless supervised. Having said that, I don’t think that even if you had technical people in mind this fits the question. They tend to take substantial more effort to learn and use effectively than the scope set by the original question. I thought this question was for little things that have a quick, lasting, and substantial effect. Learning awk and sed is a different thing entirely, I think of those more as productivity tools you can invest in mastering, and pay off in the long run.
You don’t need a fancy computer. There’s endless amazing games and they run on a potato. I was just starting Bayonetta and my machine doesn’t even spin up. But it does when I open Firefox or my note taking program 🤷🏻♀️
Just keep it away from unsafe networks cuz it’ll have vulnerabilities.
Yeah but I wanted a fancy computer so I put in the dough to make it happen lol

Wires:
- Ethernet
overpreferred over WiFi for non portable desktops - Audio gear : wired will sound better. Bluetooth headphones have batteries that almost certainly aren’t repairable.
- Peripherals, in the sane vein. I just don’t get having to charge a keyboard or mouse that sits on my desk all day.
While I’ve only used one or two types of bluetooth headphones, i’ve never hand any trouble replacing the battery with them. The cups just snap out and then you unplug the lithium cell and plug a new one it, at least in my experience, so that may just have been a thing with the model you got.
Ethernet over WiFi for non portable desktops
Wi-Fi basically is wireless Ethernet, so I don’t know what “Ethernet over WiFi” is supposed to mean, and I don’t know what problem is being solved nor what solution is being proposed.
They’re saying “prefer hardwired Ethernet cables rather than wifi”
Ethernet (hard wire connection) is preferable to WI-FI. Ethernet > WI-FI. It has significantly higher speed and stability.
I see. In networking, X over Y has a specific meaning regarding layers.
Power over ethernet + ethernet over wifi
== Wireless power transmission!
As easy as hooking your access point’s external antenna connector to your microwave oven’s magnetron.
Im familiar with RFC-2549 😜
I have Bluetooth earbuds that crack open when they hit a hard surface (have surviveed so far) and the battery is a little Li-Ion pouch on soldered wires. They probably don’t last as long as sealed ones of the same size but it’s very easy to find and install a replacement battery. Just check disassembly guides before buying.
I agree with everything except a wireless mouse. I have a magnetic usb “nub” that plugs into the mouse so when I need to charge it every couple of weeks it’s as simple as moving the mouse near enough the magnetic cable and it pops into place.
For me, the benefits of a wireless mouse far outweigh the imperceptible-to-me lag from the 2.4ghz dongle 10cm away in clear view. The only downside I can see is the weight of the battery, but I’m not a competitive FPS player so I’m good.
I like wireless for my laptop, but I’ve never understood the point on my desktop. It’s never going beyond the cable’s length, and the cable has never gotten in the way unless I’m doing extreme motions with a very low sensitivity. And in that case, I am playing competitive fps.
I just hate the dragging of the wire on anything that might be in the way. I go wireless for keyboard and mouse whenever possible.
But what are the benefits of a wireless mouse? You don’t have to string the cable from the back of your PC to the mousepad, sure, but that’s something you do once a blue moon (unless you often go to LAN partys (which, in itself, are probably not a thing anymore)). At work, okay, I sometimes get up off my chair and have my company-provided wireless mouse on my leg to keep scrolling while I read through legal documents, but that’s a rare use case, too, no?
I don’t like the feeling of the cable dragging on the desk. Or the cable snagging on the monitor stand, or anything else on the desk.
I also prefer the aesthetics of a wireless mouse. One less cable to manage. The charge cable is tucked away and only comes out every week or so to charge overnight.
Yeah, my keyboard has a cable but my keyboard doesn’t move, and it’s a pretty sexy (and heavy) cable so it’s different than a mouse cable.
As for latency, from what I understand in many cases a wireless mouse can have less latency than some wired mice. So that’s nice too.
I guess the main downside is weight but that has never bothered me. That said, I’m not a competitive fps player, but even so some wireless mice are quite light.
Fair points you’re making there!
I guess it never bothered me enough to have even crossed my mind.
I need to look into the latency thing. From my limited knowledge it makes no sense that a wireless mouse could have better latency than a wired one. Unless the wire is made of something barely conductive to electricity and the wireless works with stupidly fast transmission tech, I guess o.o
Great review of several high end mice, wired and wireless. He found no correlation between wires and latency. Ultimately, he concludes that the most important properties of the mouse are weight and feel.
While not at ALL repairable, I’ve been using my AirBudz for over five years, for 50+ hours every week and the batteries still last for hours. I have my cans for FLACs, but no complaints for the price wirh AirBudz.
The fuck is “Ethernet over WiFi”. Isn’t ethernet by definition wired? If it’s x over WiFi, isn’t that just WiFi with extra steps?
Edit: I see from other comments they mean “preferable compared to”, not “used atop of”.
I think they meant it like “I prefer ethernet more than wifi”
Yeah, I saw that after seeing the other comments. I just didn’t refresh the page to see your comment until after I typed up my edit. Lol, sorry.
Source?
I’ve never heard anything like this.
I was only referring to wired vs wireless. The type of wire is kind of irrelevant. Fiber, co-axial, whatever. :)
I second all of your statements. I don’t care if my Apple TV is on WiFi, but my gaming desktop is most definitely hooked to an Ethernet cable. I also use a wired keyboard and mouse on it, but I’ll admit I have a cheap wireless keyboard and mouse for my work laptop because I didn’t want to deal with another set of cables on the same desk, and I can’t think of a good solution for both machines to share the same keyboard and mouse without having to switch the cables between them all the time.
Windows? Mouse without borders
Linux/Mac/mix of that and windows? Barrier.
If, of course, you can install things on your work laptop.
Kvm.
A USB switch or the more expensive KVM could work.
KVM switch looks like it could work, since I don’t want to switch a USB switch and then still have to switch monitor input. Just need to find one with both an HDMI input and a DP input.
Some monitors have inbuilt KVM switches, have an MSI ultrawide (model escapes me sorry) I bought a few years ago that I use to flip between usbc and dp. Configurable though, could set it up to flip between HDMI and DP and assign usb to whatever one I prefer. It’s way nicer than the switch + swapping inputs manually I had been using.

I call this one forbidden knowledge because I see it so little in public, but I’m sure it’s well known in privacy communities: A password like “I have this really secure password that I type into computers sometimes” is a much stronger and easier to memorize password than “aB69$@m”. It seems more often than not I find networks where the SSID is a better password than the WPA key.
xkcd #936. Nice.
Difficulty to remember: You’ve already memorized it
It’s true! And nobody remembers the first panel’s password.
I agree - I do use passphrases in some critical cases which I don’t want to store in a password manager.
However, I believe passphrases are theoretically more susceptible to sophisticated dictionary type attacks, but you can easily mitigate it by using some less-common 1337speak character replacements.
Highly recommend a password manager though - it’s much easier to remember one or two complex master keyring passwords & the random generated passwords will easily satisfy any application’s complexity requirements.
Yeah that’s basically what I do, I know the passphrase to decrypt my drive, and the one to open Bitwarden and then I basically let that just handle everything else.
Oh and the
sudo
one I guess.
Here’s what I’ve shared with my company.
the SSID is a better password than the WPA key
This is an insult I am definitely saving for later
I agree but I think the problem is that some apps/sites have strict password requirements, which usually includes adding upper-case, symbols, numbers, and then limits the length even sometimes…
Which is funny because those strict rules reduce the number of combinations an attacker has to guess from, thereby reducing security.
Provably false. That’s only true if the rules specify some really wacky requirements which I haven’t seen anywhere except in that one game about making a password.
Think about it this way. If you have a password of maximum length two which only accepts lowercase letters, you have 26 choices for the first character & 26 for the next. Each of the 26 characters in the first spot can be combined with any of the 26 characters in the second spot, so 26 * 26 = 676 possible passwords.
By adding uppercase letters (for a total of 52 characters to choose from), you get 52 * 52 = 2704 possible passwords. It increases significantly if you increase the length beyond two or can have more than just upper & lowercase letters.
Computers have gotten so efficient at generating & validating passwords that you can try tens of thousands of passwords in a minute, exhausting every possible two-letter password in seconds starting with
aa
and ending withZZ
.The only way you would decrease the number of possible passwords is if you specified that the character in a particular spot had to be uppercase, but I’ve never seen a password picker say “your fourth character must be a lowercase letter”.
By adding uppercase letters (for a total of 52 characters to choose from), you get 52 * 52 = 2704 possible passwords.
You don’t add them, you enforce at least one. That eliminates all combinations without upper case letters.
So, without this rule you would indeed have the 52x52 possible passwords, but with it you have (52x52)-(26x26) possible passwords (the second bracket is all combinations of 2 lowercase letters), which is obviously less.
The only way you would decrease the number of possible passwords is if you specified that the character in a particular spot had to be uppercase
Wrong. In your example, for any given try, if you have put a lowercase letter in spot 1, you don’t need to try any lowercase in spot 2.
Any information you give the attacker eliminates possible combinations.
I think I’m confused on your point.
I interpreted your statement to mean “adding a requirement for certain types of characters will decrease the number of possible passwords compared to no requirements at all”, which is false. Even in your example above, with only two letters, no numbers / special characters allowed, requiring a capital letter decreases the possibilities back to the original 676 possible passwords - not less.
Perhaps you’re trying to say that passwords should all require certain complexity, but without broadcasting the password requirements publicly? I suppose that’s a valid point, but I don’t think the tradeoff of time required to make that secure is worth the literal .000001% (I think I did the math right) improvement in security.
Even in your example above, with only two letters, no numbers / special characters allowed, requiring a capital letter decreases the possibilities back to the original 676 possible passwords - not less.
No it doesn’t. It reduces the possibilities to less than the 52x52 possibilities that would exist if you allowed all possible combinations of upper and lower case letters.
You are confused because you only see the two options of enforcing or not allowing certain characters. All characters need to be allowed but none should be enforced. That maximizes the number of possible combinations.
that passwords should all require certain complexity, but without broadcasting the password requirements publicly?
No, because that’s still the same. An attacker can find out the rules by creating accounts and testing.
Ironically, this could kind of be an answer to the main thread by itself.
At my previous bank the password had to be a 5 digit PIN code…
At one point, Charles Schwab allowed a password of infinite length, but SILENTLY TRUNCATED ALL PASSWORDS TO 8 DIGITS.
This is something I sent a few angry emails about wherever I could find an opportunity.
Password managers. People will use anything but that: paper, notes app (without any security), using the same password everywhere…
I keep trying to convince my parents. Then they say but what if I forget the master password? I say they won’t with a passphrase but they don’t believe me.
Also I don’t have experience with PW managers other than 1Password, Bitwarden and Roboform. I personally didn’t like Bitwarden. I think it’s UI is janky and oldschool. Roboform is so bad I don’t even know where to start complaining. So I keep using 1Password even though the UI has been getting worse but it still works for me because of the good integration into the Apple ecosystem. But it’s rather expensive for managing the 20 something passwords my parents have. I read about breaches on other PWMs sometimes so I don’t really know what to trust and recommend.
Show them you can export the passwords and print them. It will help them to make the switch to know they cannot lose everything because it is on paper. It is what helped my parents
Keepassxc works fairly well for me, with a few quirks. Don’t know how it is on apple though.
Set my family up with Bitwarden. Had them think up good passwords, told them not to tell me, etc. etc. they went and promptly forgot it.
One of these days I’m going to set them up again but this time I’m going to have to save their master passwords on my account.
Came to say this exact thing.
FFS I have 100’s of passwords saved in my keepass DB, they are all different.
Passwords will only autofill on the correct site, so look alike sites are captured by that simple bit of security.
I keep telling myself I need to start using a password manager but I’m worried I won’t be able to log into things on my phone or other devices like my work computer when I need to because I don’t know the password. Is that a legitimate worry or is there a solution for this? How do you sync passwords between computer and phone?
I hse keepassxc and store my password database in onedrive. My phone has an app keepass2android which can read the database in onedrive.
Eh, I don’t trust any 3rd party enough to give them all my passwords and I don’t trust myself enough to secure a server for self hosting a password manager.
I know all my passwords, can’t forget em, no paper or notes, no repeat passwords.
Fucking THANK YOU.
A very good friend of mine doesn’t use any password manager. I’ve often in the past told them why don’t they? They argue that then all their passwords would be gone if they forget that one master password. Okay, I say, how the fuck is having to remember 1 password harder than having to remember 20 passwords?
Any good password manager nowadays also has an account takeover feature if you opt in. Basically your spouse / child / parent can take over your account to recover it for you if you can’t get in.
If you know all your passwords and can’t forget them, I’m assuming your using some sort of pattern to remember them in which case you have a major issue in case of data breaches as your other passwords can be guessed.
Just as a heads up, sometimes the pattern is not that easy for computer to brute force. As an example, my old password contains a birth date but with an alternating shift making them a combination of digit and symbol.
The issue is if you are a) targeted, and b)involved in multiple breaches. If they can get the pattern, they potentially get everything.
Is it worth it? That depends. Are you willing to risk it NOT being worth it to a random guy in Africa earning a few $ a day?
Yeah, a fair point
Keepass. Password database is a local file.
this is the way
I looked it up for you; you can export your Proton Pass database as a .csv file and then import it into KeePass. Not sure about KeePassDX but on XC, there’s a csv import option. There’s also a json import option but it says BitWarden for that so I’m not sure if the json Proton Pass exports is in the same structure as KeePassXC expects.
Keepassdx is an android app for keepassdx databases with a nice ui. I use it too.
You can export as csv, html, xml from KeePassXC. Dunno about DX but you can just try it on your desktop if it’s not an option on mobile.
You know I’m looking up all these answers right? I don’t mean to be rude but you can and should just look these up yourself. You can check import and export options by opening keepassxc/keepassdx and checking for yourself

Technically you could use PGP to encrypt a .txt file with all your passwords in it. Which would be more or less the same thing with a lot less polish to it.
Sorry, what is PGP?
PGP is ‘pretty good privacy’; it’s an encryption standard. It’s not the best, but it’s fairly easy to use, and it going to resist decryption pretty well, for most use-cases. The idea is that you have a public key, and a private key. The public key allows messages to be encrypted, while your private key allows decryption.
Honestly, just Googling (or DuckDuckGo-ing) things. I tend to be the “tech person” that people ask about their computer problems quite often, and 9/10 times I just copy-paste the error code into the search bar and it tells me what to do. I’m not secret about it either, I’m like you can literally just Google it and it’ll usually work. But people still seem to think it’s magic lol.
There’s a hidden skill in there that allows you to filter out the bullshit/scam/unhelpful solutions and zero in on the helpful, legitimate stuff.
You also need crazy fast reflexes for all the popups.
Ah yes, “two idiots one keyboard”.
There’s a rumour that it was part of a bet about which producer could make the dumbest hacking scene.

It’s not a question of googling, it’s about recognising bullshit answers and skipping them
Nah. People are using you and too lazy to care. They pretend it’s magic cause it’ll get you to continue being their gateway to laziness.
I think you’re underestimating peoples’ ability to filter out the massive amount of garbage results/astroturfed reviews/posts/websites out there.
As a similar “tech person,” me googling tech problems is exactly as lazy as the person asking me.
Their solution is “ask someone” and our solution is also “ask someone.”
Unless it’s Windows giving you some long hexadecimal number. Those never return any results.
If it’s not a crash it’s probably an ntstatus and if it shows during a bsod then it’s a bughcheck code. That said the most common ntstatus I see is the very unhelpful 0xC0000001 - status unsuccessful.
The one I came across had something to do with…you remember Intel Optane? How there was a brief window there where they’d sell you a PC with a spinning rust hard disk and like a 16GB special NVMe drive that acted as a kind of cache for the hard disk? I was replacing that with just a normal NVMe drive, and there’s some settings in the BIOS you have to tinker with. And BIOS settings are bullshit. TMP. XMPP. FLP. TLQ. DKR or LXD. Which combination of these settings means “no more optane, just normal bulk storage on the NVMe socket?” There’s nothing that says anything like that.
I apparently didn’t get this quite right and Windows would get a ways through the install process before failing with an 0x2ac4d7f9f2 code or something. Windows’ installer doesn’t give you a functioning desktop, it’s in its own useless environment, so you have to manually type this into your phone to look it up, which returns no results. Like it doesn’t link to a page on Microsoft’s website because of course it doesn’t.
I then tried to install Linux Mint. Boots to the live environment, I get a full desktop. I run the installer, which fails partway through. The error message spells out the issue in plain English, contains a clickable hyperlink to a relevant wiki page which launches in Firefox because we’re in a live environment, and it has a QR code you can scan with your phone to go to the same page on a smart phone. Armed with this knowledge I got the setting right in the BIOS and successfully installed Linux.
But Windows is just so much more user friendly you guys.
And the solutions to Windows problems are almost always ludicrously esoteric and stupid anyway lol. It always turns out to be something like “the CPU usage went up because the clock in the taskbar on this specific version of Windows syncs to a different server that closed down so it tries to ping it 400 times a second for some unknown reason and that’s why you get a 78-character hexadecimal error code and all your USB devices disconnect whenever you render a video.”
Overheats when you hold down the space bar.
Don’t change that! I need that feature for my workflow
My colleague (we work in web dev) will literally sit there staring at an error message but apparently not reading it, and then he’ll open ChatGPT and start asking it what to do. The fucker never even Googles error messages, it’s an absolute nightmare.
ChatGPT can be super useful, but I’m kind of worried about people learning to use it exclusively.
I tried helping a PhD student assemble a set up for measuring transistors. He used ChatGPT to do all the code for the software control (python), which is fine, even if he relied on it to fix every single part of his code when a quick trip to the reference manuals of the equipments would solve the problem instantly.
At a certain point I realized I maybe had misunderstood his set up design and asked him “wait, which device do you want to connect to your gate? Which terminal even is the gate?”
And I kid you not, the dude asked ChatGPT which terminal in his device was the gate
(he also reeked of weed so there’s that)

The other day, I was chatting on a Discord server about how people manage their photos, which keep piling up each year.

I have a webcam that we use when we’re not home for longish periods. It’s unplugged when we’re here. Also, it is connected to my own server, not some corporate cloud crap.
