   Over the holidays I had a chance to reflect on how far technology has come, when I felt it was in its prime, and how I feel about its current state. I have mixed feelings about its current state.

   We all know the security disaster that #Microsoft #Recall is. So you can avoid it at home through a few means. Your enterprise can avoid it through a few means. But what about your dentists and such that fall into neither category. They likely don’t have the expertise to avoid it. New security gap...

   I've resumed my #atari8bit project to use a remote #cubesql instance over #fujinet. Progress has been made The last parsing routine that had me scratching my head back in May has been solved. Now it's just function implementation. Teaser for one tool attached.

   1Password #Keeper #ProtonPass #Enpass #BitWarden #BitDefender #Keeper is on the short cut list. I swear I had Touch ID working to unlock the Safari extension.

   1Password #Keeper #ProtonPass #Enpass #BitWarden #BitDefender Enpass has been eliminated after several failures of different types.

   Password Managers - take 2. Looking at possibly replacing current manager (#1Password). Must be able to use it on iOS, Mac, and Windows; offline as well.

   Does anyone know how to, or has, installed #Icaros Desktop in a VM with #UTM on an Apple Silicon Mac?I can’t get it to recognize any video (black screen).

   Can we just have paste as plain text the default paste operation and have the smart pastes the options? Across all platforms, across all operating systems, across all applications?

   Nice, the latest #DOSBOX-X for Apple M silicon Macs finally added the SDL component for networking. Now the COM ports work Using #ProcommPlus to dial into Darkforce #BBS as a test and it worked great

   RIP #Ozzy. Find Randy and jam #GenX icon lost and will be missed.

   I’ve been playing with #Duplicati on MacOS and I’m finding it restrictive in that it requires a set number of backups to be retained. I want none, just replace it them because I’m sending it them to NAS and eventually offsite.So, MacOS backup software that can backup to file with encryption? Go...
