  • Recommendation of Windows software [A long read]
    KeePassXC - a password manager, that works completely offline: stores data in an encrypted file. But has an optional browser integration. Please note the name: there are older versions as well as impostors. Which is why I post the link. - Source: Reddit / 18 days ago

    SSE seems to stand for Secret Space Encryptor, an app that seems to include a password manager. I have no idea about its reputability.

  • The Age of Advertising Must Come to an End - Advertisements are a scourge upon society, the environment, and ultimately ourselves. They are among the worst that capitalism has to offer. Why not get rid of them?
    Combine that with a solid password manager (like KeePassXC for example) to keep all of your accounts separate. Never, ever use the same email/password for all of your accounts. - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago
  • How do you organize so many online accounts, pictures and files?
    All online accounts (including email addresses) should be in a password manager with a secure password. Bitwarden is excellent, the free tier is enough for most people and the paid tiers tend to work out cheaper than alternatives like 1Password. If you don't want all your passwords stored online, KeePassXC has most of the same features and saves to a local database only. - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

  • LastPass breach gets worse – reddit.com/r/sysadmin

  • I want to secure my btc for a long term hold, but I don't know if I feel comfortable with cold storage.
    Make a hidden Veracrypt vault on cold computer. Inside the Veracrypt vault save Keepassxc vaults. Store your seeds inside the Keepassxc vaults. For a paper backup, encrypt your seeds using an offline AES256/512 text encryptor/decryptor. Encode the encrypted text using an offline qrcode generator. Print out the qrcode.
