KeePass user here for…a long-ass time. Won’t use anything else. Official KeePass 2.x on my computers, and KeePass2Android on my phone. The database is synced to my Google Drive, and a strong passphrase plus a key file keeps it nice and secure.

I scored an Optiplex 7050 SFF with 250GB SSD, 16GB RAM, and an i5-6500 for under $100 on an ebay auction last year. I threw in another 16 GB of RAM, an i7-7700, 300W PSU from an Optiplex XE3 (factory for a 7050 SFF is 180W…), factory SD card reader + faceplate, and an Nvidia Quadro K1200 (why? I don’t remember, but it’s better than the iGPU).

I had the same IP address for almost four years through Spectrum in Upstate NY, on a residential plan. It changed once. I ended up moving anyway though, so I didn’t get to see how long that one stuck around.

2014?

Man, that phrase was cringe when I joined in 2012. Was a much better site back then though.

Yeah, but the general smartphone user is gonna want the weather where they are right now. And that means the phone needs location data and pings a server somewhere often enough to get “real-time” weather updates.

I’m a tinkerer at heart but when I put a weather widget on my home screen, I want it updated automatically. I don’t want to have to manually refresh it every time I want up to date weather at that moment, especially on my watch.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I was hoping they were dead since I first heard about it. I mean it sucks as human lives were lost (and the teenager, poor kid just wanted to spend time with his dad), but I couldn’t give a single fuck about the loss of a billionaire and a reckless “innovator” who openly flaunted his disregard for safety regulations.

How else do you think weather apps work?
