To each their own. I get the need to have historical chat and all, and I run a Mattermost server for friends for the last few years and I depend on history there too. But on Signal it's really just what I use with work peeps for after hours non-Teams IT chat in case something breaks and they needs emergency help since we all basically mute notifications for Teams after work.

Correct, it will only have all future messages. Nothing historic. But it should sync literally everything going forward.

I use it on mobile and desktop regularly without sync issues. Has it always had that problem for you? I generally always get messages at the exact same time without fail.

Ackshully, that's a jackdaw. Wait, where am I?

That's great in theory, but you'll have passwords for logging into OSes too which password managers do not help with and you better have it memorized or you're going to have a bad time.

Very common for pass phrases, and not dissuaded. Pass phrases are good for people to remember without using poor storage practices (post it notes, txt file, etc) and are strong enough to keep secure against brute force attacks or just guessing based off knowledge of the user.

Just don't bleed while drowning so you don't die.

Can confirm, I'm on my second one now and it's so good. Some traps back the water up and others don't trap enough of the hair to be worth using, but these are perfect.

The better argument is that many keyboards don't have an Insert key. I usually use Shift+Insert myself because it's more likely to work on all terminal types, including Windows and Linux, but have ran into times where I just don't have an insert, like on my laptop and Chromebook. So yeah, I might switch to Ctrl+Shift+V as my go to.

So you're the one who changed the password from admin/admin to admin/hunter2? That's all I needed.

Explaining that I'm a systems and infrastructure admin is actually easier for me than explaining my organization to people lol. Because it's a local government agency that provides services to school districts, and people don't really know we exist if they aren't a district staff member themselves (and even then sometimes they don't know!), and we're a bit niche in our specific services, I usually just end up saying "school ISP" despite that only being a small part of it. 😂

When I played with AWS way back before it became the behemoth it is, I used it to simply store a few small things, like my Keepass DB. I then deleted it.

So my fun fact: if you ever had an account with AWS and delete it, you can never use that same exact email again. So I went from [email protected] to [email protected] and have had that AWS account for way longer than the original.
