I think I sorta asked this already but are your reccos for a password manager that plays nice with MacOS, iOS, windows, chrome and less savvy computer people? Auto magic syncing across devices is standard for all of them right? And (initial) keychain import is impossible for any of them right?

1password is stupid simple and my recommendation, but Bitwarden and LastPass and both free and good enough as well.

1Password is fantastic. I’ve been using them for years but I had a particularly good couple of customer experiences lately. First I had paid for the standalone versions and synced with free Dropbox. Once Dropbox started limiting how many devices you could link to a free account, I figured it was okay to pay 1P and silo them off from the rest of my cloud storage. I emailed them and they happily converted the full original value of my standalone licenses into credit, which prepaid for years of service. Recently also I wanted to share 1Password with a friend and converting to the family plan was just a few clicks and no problems. Everything really just works. Except the web is messy so you still have to manually manage your entries somewhat frequently if you want one click login across both mobile apps and desktop web. Really happy with their service IMO.

Not sure what this means? One click login? I'm fine with just clicking on the username field and having a sub menu show up with "fill with password!" like safari does. e: does 1password also store credit card info like keychain?

It can store CC info, bank account info, software licenses, encrypted notes, social security numbers, even files as attachments I think. It does OTP generation for 2FA. One click login I mean - if you are using an app, like your banking app, and your cursor is in the username/password form, you want a popup that says 'Use your login from 1Password?'. Similarly if you're on desktop, if you go to the 1Password client, you can click an entry and 'Open and fill' which basically automatically logs you into the website - super handy - but you can also right click on the form and ask 1Password to autofill, and you want it to know which elements of the form to fill out on the page and you want it to know that this page has access to the passwords for that domain. So that's a bit finicky to figure out with some sites, where the domain might be different between different login forms, especially if you want to also automatically log into the app on both iOS and Android. Android I think allows you to link the entry to a mobile ID of some sort, and apps on iOS seem to go by the domain name, so sometimes if the app uses a different domain name than the desktop site you'll have to add it manually. edit: And don't get me started on two-stage forms, where you have to invoke 1P manually for each stage. Oh and register forms that ask for an email but then assign you a user ID - 1P has no way of knowing. Pivo fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Apr 19, 2020 |

Small White Dragon posted:On an unrelated note, does exFAT have terrible overhead? I was trying to backup large folders on some old machines to external SSD drives before we resell them, and when I changed them from exFAT to APFS the copy time went from hours to minutes. This is exactly what I meant about copies between different file systems. exFAT itself is fine, it's the conversion from APFS to exFAT that adds the massive overhead. A copy between two exFAT external SSDs would also take minutes. Moving between file systems, the CPU has to do work to convert between different block sizes. Between the same file system, the CPU just tells the drive controller which block to move.

1Password has been my stalwart companion for five laptops and three desktops over 15 years (if I'm remembering correctly I ran literally v1.something on a G4 Powerbook). I am well into the triple digits in licence costs and I'd not feel ripped off if I find I go into the fours some day (which I just might if they finally convince me to buy one of their subscriptions, which they just might since Dropbox is starting to get pissy). It is a truly indispensable piece of software and backed by very good people.

Hello, the OP hasn't updated in two years and I have just updated from El Capitan (I am significantly worse) so have lost my beloved uBlock Origins extension on Safari Is 1blocker still the go to content blocker? Looking at the limitations it seems like it might be better to jump browsers to Chrome or Firefox and use uBlock Origins?

Is there a way to tell Safari to stop complaining about high memory usage in a tab? I'm playing board games in a maximised window and the bar keeps popping up every five minutes. I know it's using a lot of memory, I don't care. Apart from the warning, the game ran fine for like four hours yesterday, so it's not causing any problems.

If you can you should be running an adblocker in your browser as it is more effective than running without one and only relying on pi-hole. I have a pi-hole on my network but I use Firefox with ublock on all of my computers because it will block things pi-hole cannot.

Pi Hole's nice because it works for any device connecting to your network with no config after setting the pi hole up initially. Works great on older devices that don't really have modern adblocking techniques. But yeah that combined with a browser adblocker is best

It's in how the files are actually laid down on the disk. File systems structure the physical bits on the drive into "blocks", which have their own structure underneath that of the files they're going to contain. Different file systems have a different block structure. The block structure is overlaid onto the sectors that are a function of the actual drive in use. Converting between files, blocks, and sectors adds a surprising amount of overhead since it has to be done for every file operation.

Ok I'm checking out 1password but it just dawned on me that chrome stores passwords and credit cards. What down sides are there to just using my google account to store that info and using chrome on all my devices? I guess I'm not used to using chrome on my iOS devices so I'm not sure how good/bad the integration is. And I'll be locked to chrome which I don't see as a bad thing currently but maybe it might get bad.

Fedule posted:I was able to copy my entire library folder over, and also the library database, and initialise Apple Music using that library. It correctly imported all my tracks, playlists, history, etc. I don't know what's up with Music's file organising feature; when I run Consolidate, it moves everything into ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media, but whenever I play or otherwise interact with something it moves back to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. That's weird but since everything's currently in Music I think it's good. Amusingly, I'm doing almost the exact same thing as you, just a handful of days later. So, sorry about the late reply. I'm also noticing this split, and it's giving me headaches because some albums for whatever reason don't update their metadata correctly on an organize. It makes no sense to me why it can't actually decide where things are supposed to go. I even made a post about it in the iTunes thread, not sure of where else to ask for help with my woes. quote:The problem is all of my album artwork is not showing. I did have a lot of luck with This Re-Embed Artwork Script with Music. After running it on an album, it refreshes Music to grab the album artwork that was always there. I am on the whole rather unhappy with how much of a mess Music is, especially if you have an old, large library of downloaded songs.

I’d like to think this is purposely porous as a courtesy, but it’s probably just slipshod work.
