Encrypt all the things!

I assume one Can't use it with 1.1.1.1 app at the same time.

Nice list boss man

Why games console on guest network?

They need no access or visibility of laptops or storage on the network... so isolate them.

@Velocio thanks so much. You evidently care about all this and most people (me currently) don't do anything about it or understand it at all, so it would be beneficial.
Definitely overwhelming but I actually have a month off at the moment so I can do parts of this. Please can I ask why use unique emails for every website? And why not connect your smart TV to a network - wouldn't that make it useless?

Divide or be conquered basically.... (that correct vb?) Less they know the better. Also why he uses multiple browsers.

I seem to remember you used to use Lastpass. Any particular reason why you've moved from that to Bitwarden?

why use unique emails for every website?

Because companies and advertisers are not allowed to share your personal data and data points.

So they get around this by masking your email and turning the data into abstractions... and then they share that.

If entities on both sides share the same method (and they do)... then they have essentially obeyed the letter or laws on data privacy but not the spirit... as they have swapped and associated data about you with profiles on you that other companies hold.

The email is the #1 identifier.

And why not connect your smart TV to a network - wouldn't that make it useless?

Yes :)

But you really really don't want to use your Smart TV.

Buy an Apple TV or Nvidia Shield instead... or just plug in a ChromeCast and cast whatever you want to watch.

I seem to remember you used to use Lastpass. Any particular reason why you've moved from that to Bitwarden?

LastPass headcount got down to a scary bus factor. And I wanted an even more paranoid password manager.

I also like that BitWarden doesn't attempt to autofill, which takes off a bit of JavaScript on every web page rendered.

Some smart TVs do a lot of tracking and reporting back. I think it was Samsung that was recording pretty much everything that was said in the room and reporting back.

Separate email addresses means that you can keep track of who's been sharing your email and spamming and block them. Also means your login details are unique to each site so if one gets hacked it won't compromise any others. I use a domain on gandi.net for this. Also means you can avoid Gmail if you want

Interesting, that makes me think I should back up Lastpass more often, I'd be a bit fucked if it went tits up.

I generally like the autofill option, is it much of an overhead?

It's not an overhead to fill the form... two clicks in a second :) I enjoy the extra snappiness of web pages as a result.

Oh... and another thing... I'm really glad I built LFGSS the way we did. It's secure by default, everything encrypted in transit and servers hardened. Not entwined with social media. Clear boundaries over public forums and private. Does not use real identity. Has no 3rd party trackers or advertising.

It's one of the few sites I really trust on the internet, and not because I built it, but because I've always exercised a healthy amount of paranaoia.

Devide or be concurred basically.... (that correct vb?)

'Divide or be conquered.' (In a nice inversion of the original.)

Yes, great work that I continue to be very happy about. Lots of good decisions made. Well done.

JS disabled

What is JS?

Javascript I hope as I just disable that in FF on my mobile!

I don't understand any of the tech stuff being discussed but I do really like the simplicity & clarity of LFGSS. Quick to load, clear to read, no extras. Perfect.

Javascript I hope as I just disable that in FF on my mobile!

Yes, JavaScript.

Brave on Android is perhaps the best all-round browser, and does allow a configuration that disables JavaScript by default on all sites... and if you notice the site does not work it is trivial to re-enable it in Brave - which I think is really the killer feature.

Fuck

I find Brave is excellent. It's the default on my phone. I've set the default search engine on Brave to duckduckgo instead of google
I also use Wickr since I ditched Telegram

Thanks.

I find Brave is excellent.

Does it have a kidney punch function?

Speaking of brave, LFGSS seems to be a "Brave Verified Publisher".

Has anyone used brave "attention tokens"?

I turned it on to see how it would work. It has some potential but the value is virtually nothing and doesn't yet equate to more than a few £ per month.

Please can I ask why use unique emails for every website?

I just received an email to myfitnesspal2011@mydomain.tld:

Hi, I know one of your passwords is: anactualpasswordthatiused
blah blah i have video of you wanking, pay me 1 million dollar in bitcoin etc...

I know that this is from an account that I set up on myfitnesspal. In 2011.

I'm not concerned, as 1) I used a unique password for that site (also, fuck that site for storing plain text / nonhashed passwords), and 2) I only used that email on that site.

That account may be compromised, but I otherwise have nothing to be concerned with.

(Worth noting - All of my memorable information / additional security questions are all 128+bit randomly generated passwords too. I mean- why compromise every account with the same easily remembered & easily guessed information?)
