  • Yeah, both are fine. I switched away from KeePass because I was using Dropbox to take care of device sync, and it just didn’t feel right. Switching to Bitwarden was awesome for me because I self host it (Vaultwarden). It’s only accessible inside my home network, so mobile devices use a cached copy. If I need to add a new entry while away from home I can connect via VPN.













  • It’s hard to answer that question without knowing your budget. I’ve had mine for so long I don’t remember how much it cost, but I’ve been happy with it.

    Another big part of their functionality is sensors, so if you plan on using a cadence sensor, heart rate sensor, etc, it’d increase the value to you.

    I’m not up to speed on available options, but other brands like Wahoo might offer the same functionality.

    If you like using your phone and found an app that works, that definitely decreases the value of a dedicated computer to you!







  • Not trying to lay blame, but doesn’t Venmo ask where you want the money to come from every time you send money? They don’t know your bank balance…

    Overdraft fees are evil. Some banks will even clear transactions to result in the most overdrafts without regard to which order the transactions took place. For example if there are two transactions, one for $100 and one for $5, and account balance of $50, they’ll purposely clear the $100 transaction first so both transactions trigger overdraft fees. They could clear the $5 first so only the $100 transaction triggers a fee, but nope.

    Also, if this is your first overdraft you might have luck calling the bank and asking for forgiveness. I did that once in college and they refunded the overdraft fees.


  • Thanks for sharing.

    With “Beginners Guide to Linux” in the title, I don’t think the video is suitable for anyone who hasn’t already tried Linux.

    There’s not even a mention of what a “distro” is, and if I had never used Linux before and watched this video, I’d run away as fast as I could. It’s way too complex, and mentions way too many things that I’ve probably never heard of before.

    That being said, I don’t know who his demographic is. I’m always glad to see some effort into helping people discover Linux, but I fear this might have the opposite effect.
