i was kinda amazed that there are creepy stalkers out there dedicated enough to stalk multiple people. i always figured stalkers only targeted one person, but nope some somehow find the time to follow multiple people on cross country speaking and music tours. the scheduling alone must consume a decent amount of their stalking time

alright, I'm on my way to becoming less of a security gently caress up and I'm picking up 1password after I flatten my win7 box.

problem is that it looks like my only sync option is Dropbox because I have a Windows machine, a Mac, and an iSteve. I only say that because someone here linked an article about Dropbox being super excited about getting access to the kernel a few months back.

am I just being a paranoid weirdo? is there a better option I'm not thinking of?

i just have my vault in my google drive and haven't had any problems

solid talk from HOPE this year was: how normals think technology works

key takeaways: an unsurprising portion of the population thinks that the internet is completely wireless, and somehow involves satellites.

People trust Snapchat because they can see things disappearing therefore they are gone, but hand them Signal which is end-to-end encrypted and WOAH I CAN SEE MY ENTIRE CHAT HISTORY THAT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING THE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE
