For what is worth I recall learning about logarithms, slide rules and mantissa well before being 10 years old. That was a long time ago...

I have been many times at the Brussels airport and I don't recall any mw oven facility. I would in any case prefer (for hygienic reasons) to use one which is in a (hopefully) clean restaurant rather than one which is "in the open", for baby food.

One cannot help but why do they suggest that? Economic reasons to use what would be otherwise unsold, or misguided pseudo science...

Based on my experience in Germany, assume that everything is carbonated. I was driven crazy from this, and resorted to beer. I recall the joy of a uber expensive bottle of evian water bought at the airport.

@fredley you're welcome

Francesco

Aug 22, 2016 20:57

@fredley so it was rather silly, I only wanted to get in contact for that

Francesco

Aug 22, 2016 20:47

@fredley Nothing crucial :-) I noticed on your profile a possible typo. You write "BiaTelli", I guess it stands for "BiaLetti".But I don't know maybe it's an inside joke that I am missing... or maybe there is a Biattelli brand who specializes in moka machines :-)

Hi @fredley I'm trying to get in touch with you but apparently your site doesn't have an email to get in touch. Is there a way to talk with you?

One of the best answers across all SE network. It's not about security, it's an answer about human behaviour

Root Access

For all you Super Users out there. You have backups, right?

Francesco

Mar 13, 2016 22:49

have to now, thanks for the suggestions

Francesco

Mar 13, 2016 21:41

@Psycogeek this is an interesting point

Francesco

Mar 13, 2016 21:31

@Psycogeek yep that's my approach too (the most important parts being systematic and only connect for the needed time). But I would like something less reliand on my "systematicity".

Francesco

Mar 13, 2016 21:25

@Psycogeek if I find a good up-to-date blog post like the one that I linked earlier, I am able to make it work. But if I have to spend too much time researching it (and maybe missing something important).... it's better to spend some money on it and have "at least" something.

Francesco

Mar 13, 2016 21:17

My question is more on building such a setup. I like the idea of a backup server managin the file server (the NAS). But I am a bit past my geeky days (or better, I'm well into my "daddy" days) and so I am not up to date with all the possible solutions or all the potential problems that I could face.

Francesco

Mar 13, 2016 21:16

@Psycogeek Thanks, I read it a few minutes ago. (By the way I read on reddit a nice piece on ransomware by an anti-phishing company: today was a day devoted to thinking to security issues)

Francesco

Mar 13, 2016 21:12

is this post still relevant today blog.superuser.com/2011/09/14/building-a-nas-server-2

Francesco

Mar 13, 2016 21:12

I'd like to ask you for some pointer about a NAS based backup strategy

Francesco

Mar 13, 2016 21:12

I see you are discussing ransomware

Francesco

hello everybody :-)

ok, have to go now. Thanks everybody for the advices and the links shared.

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 16:41

@ThomasPornin @ThomasPornin for what is Worth, please accept a thank you by me, too. Really, I have learned many things from your posts.

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 16:02

I'm loving KeePass... thanks for pointing me in its direction.

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 14:20

by the way maybe it's me but the kind folks at keepass could opt for https over http

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 14:09

@Simon For me the point is being open source and so "checkable" by the experts. I am happy to pay/donate for a good product

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 14:04

look please let's get back to the original topics, we were discussing this new drown attack (@ThomasPornin took care of that) password managers (we have +2 for keepass, +1 for not using them) and german culture

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 14:03

:-)

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 14:03

I was bashing german food and I was bashed for being italian

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 14:02

no I didn't take offence since I guessed it was for laughing

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 14:01

@MarkBuffalo that's an interesting point of view. I have too many accounts and I don't care any longer for creating passwords

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 14:00

@MarkBuffalo that could be but I have been in Dresden, Aachen, berlin, koln. I found food Always a bit on the heavy side

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 13:59

@Simon really the worst was carbonated water :-)

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 13:58

@MarkBuffalo maybe I was simply too old. If I had gone when I was younger eating wurstel fries and cabbage for 3 weeks straight would have been much easier

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 13:58

@MarkBuffalo I know, but it is amusing to read such a warning label on the download page of a password manager

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 13:57

@SEJPM hey when I was in Berlin I was amazed by the city. It was Amazing, much Beyond what I expected. On the other hand food was .. ok food was like I imagined it :-)

@Ohnana keepass.info/download.html

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 13:55

From the download page, the precise definition of what one appreciates in a password manager "If you get a warning that the signature of a downloaded file is corrupt/invalid: this is a false alarm and can be ignored. " :-D

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 13:51

@SEJPM ah great

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 13:51

Do you use it also on the smartphone?

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 13:50

@Ohnana @SEJPM thanks, +2 for keepass. I like it being open source, and by the way in the feature list I see that they mention bruce schneier "KeePass can import TXT files created by Bruce Schneier's Password Safe v2" (from keepass.info/features.html)

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 13:47

The last 2 are OSS which seems a good feature. Could you please help me to assess if any of these have glaring problems (I suppose not) or if one of those is much above the Others?

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 13:47

So I'd like to tap your knowledge with regard to password managers. I know enough about security to know that I am unable to appraise if they are doing proper things or not. I have found out 1password, keepass and password safe (which is by bruce schneier who is Always very interesting to read. But for some reason password safe appears to be not much famous)

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 13:35

So if the question has been asked, can I proceed with my shopping list recommendation? Pretty please?

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 13:28

Now as it Always happens with your links I will have to read and try to understand. So long for a peaceful afternoon...

Francesco

Mar 1, 2016 13:27

Uff I hoped to be able to ask a simple shopping question to you and instead I find out that you are discussing a new urgent threat ...

@slhck ok thanks for the support. I needed it :-) Have to go now! see you soon on SU.

Francesco

Sep 13, 2013 20:34

@slhck thanks for the support. As I told, maybe I just needed to "express" my feelings, there is no issue on my part

Francesco

Sep 13, 2013 20:32

@slhck Thanks for replying. I must say that this one was maybe one of the "worst" experience (I don't want to make it appear bigger than it really is: for me the goal is finding an answer while providing potentially useful info for future searchers). But I must say that I have found on more than one instance a different attitute from, say, SO, or Photo.SE which are the two sites where I have most experience
