There is a small LCD in the middle. This is a different brand, but the same idea.

I noticed they choose Fuzzel as the launcher / dmenu replacement. Me, too!

I use Asahi as a server OS on a Mac Mini where it works great. Have not tried it as a desktop.

Have you tried doing CAD work on a phone or iPad over a Remote Desktop connection?

Seems unpleasant enough to drive someone to buy a proper laptop to travel with.

This seems as much about converging Android and ChromeOS as anything.

If you don’t have a proper computer, how will you access this remote server to do your CAD work?

It’s not clear that these services need any of these things.

3 GB / day is unlikely to go unnoticed upstream.

Yes. You can run them both on the same machine and it would probably be cheaper that way.

To minimize costs, besides looking at the cost of hardware, you’ll also want to consider the amount of electricity that the server uses with the memory and hard drives you have installed.

The Monero docs say it uses 100 GB or more bandwidth a month. You may want to look at the quality of service settings on your router to make sure that it’s not interfering with other uses of your network.

I imagine BitWarden is sufficiently good. The big leap in security comes from having no password manager to a decent password manager.

LastPass does not seem as serious about security so it doesn’t meet my personal bar for decency.

LastPass doesn’t have your password, so it can’t be stolen during a breach.

But 1Password goes a step further, also requiring a “secret key”, which also can’t be stolen.

Even if an attacker manages to steal your encrypted data from 1Password and also guess your master password, they still can’t access your data without a secret key.

For that reason, your 1Password account is more likely to compromised through your own device, not their server. And if your own devices are thoroughly compromised, no password manager can save you— the attacker can potentially grab all you type and see all you see.

I evaluated both BitWarden and 1Password for work and 1Password generally won across the board.

If you host yourself make sure backups are rock solid and regularly monitored and tested. Have a plan for your infrastructure being down or compromised.

1Password’s security model guards against this. Even if they are breached, your passwords cannot be decrypted.

You are more likely to screw up your own backups and hosting security than they are.

Thanks! I’ll give this a try.

I like to manage services maximally with systemd so it was a natural fit for me.

It did not seem difficult to set up web and database quadlets so they are properly networked.

Spoken like a wise elder!

You could add a feature request in the Fuzzel bug tracker. A screenshot of how it is used in Fuzzel could be helpful there.

WordPerfect continued to thrive in the legal industry for years to come due to its “reveal codes” feature and the way it counted words.

Here’s a post about that from 2008.

There is a newish “placeholder text” option. It could be displayed there and disappear when typing starts.

Yes. The message could be added to the prompt but it wouldn’t look the best.
