These WinUpdates are taking forever to install. I thought one was hung up and was about to reboot when it suddenly changed to "Requires restart".
Also, has anyone else noticed that some recent updates require more than one reboot before they consider themselves installed? -

It looks like the center of #Hurricane #Zeta is moving onshore near New Orleans, #LA, right about now. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ I haven't seen any news stories about evacuations, but there must be. I don't know how high the storm surge is, but a high surge can ride inland for a few miles, meaning that normally dry land temporarily becomes part of the ocean. -

@mangeurdenuage There are also some sites that try to prevent copy-pasting passwords. I think PayPal does this when people are changing passwords. It's evil, but if users have #JavaScript / #JabbaShit activated, sites can do things like this. I do agree that users need to be willing to think and to learn something when using computing devices. Trying not to have to think, not t… -

@musicman Wow. I suppose they'll start wearing body armor or maybe chain mail when they go on such raids. -

animals and cartoon characters are lame distro names, but porn star names. Now, that is a naming scheme you can get behind. -

Marketing: "I'll have to tone down the style a bit".

Seriously though, I think the writer himself liked the style, it just didn't fit in the "voice" guidelines... -

When working with family members and personal friends, telling them to use a copying and pasting password manager instead of the browser’s built-in password remembering function (or using the same password everywhere) is a losing battle. It is necessary for a good pwdmgr to have such extensions for browsers and certain other software. -

@mangeurdenuage From what the KeepassXC site says, development in the KeepassX project is nearly dead. Not saying it is true, but there were a lot of fairly old patches awaiting action when I looked. -

@mangeurdenuage @orekix@anime.website
> bug reports ... Github ... browser extension has brought a number of security issues ...
I haven’t checked. I’ll look soon. There are also some security risks involved in copying to the system clipboard, which is why finding a password manager that could directly talk to the browser became an issue. -

There's also regular Keepass, (keepass2 in Debian and Ubuntu), but it is based on the Microsoft dotnet platform, so it requires Mono. I try not to install #Mono on any non-Windows platforms (and it really isn't needed on Windows, since much of dotnet is already installed. -

Meanwhile, I still have KeepassX installed, so I think I’m going back to it.
Or, interestingly, there is now a version of Bruce Schneier’s Password Safe in the Debian & Ubuntu repos. I might switch over to that. -

I switched to KeepassXC because of the browser extensions. However, once the extension checks and finds out there’s an updated version of the password manager, it refuses to connect to the old version. I need to file a bug, because I’m not about to install software that is not in the standard OS repositories. -

#NOAA / #NHC #Hurricane #Zeta nearing the northern Gulf Coast. The map on https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ still looks like New Orleans #LA is in or near the likely direct impact zone. -

So many things to do.
* Read the impenetrable legalese of the ballot proposals and finish marking my ballot
* Turn on $EMPLOYER laptop and let it update
* PHP course
* MySQL course
* Cloud course
* Work the insecure-but-required CalJobs and some actually useful job search sites -

@musicman I bought some fall-themed Samuel Adams recently. Normally, after a few sips, I sleep like a rock, but I finished a whole bottle and had a sleepless night. I'm getting close to just becoming a non-drinker.
