Chatting with Tmobile Home Internet via Twitter about WAN issues. Still better than DSL :).
Have they been able to figure out why wired speed only ever gets ~40Mbps when wireless gets 200+Mbps for you? I'm still trying to get that fixed.
Still better than DLS here as well.

I love dealing with someone who has a DEGREE in Cybersecurity, claims to be an experienced system administrator, yet doesn't even know what an SPF record is for email and leaves it blank - even after being taught how to do it. And then puts the wrong data in from the wrong vendor because they don't know how to follow directions or what it is for.
The number of people that have no idea what SPF or DKIM are is just crazy. Nobody I've tried to deal with either has had a clue what I was even talking about.

what's another reputable pwd manager??
Bitwarden is what I chose. It has all the basic features needed in the open-source version. I chose a paid tier, but you are able to host it yourself if you wish.
@siringo said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
@travisdh1 I recently looked at changing from LP, but I found they were priced similarly to everyone else.
I'll change my master & banking pwds, but don't think I'll worry about all my pwds.
Bitwarden is $10/year for the Personal Business account, LastPass was costing me $36/year for the Personal Premium.

Time to change all of my passwords and get rid of LastPass
Time to replace Lastpass was years ago when they started tracking everyone.
Really, this isn't a reason to panic and change ALL your passwords unless you don't trust how Lastpass was designed.... If that's the case, why were you using it in the first place? Change your master password, done.
Read the article.
I haven't read this specific article, but I have seen lots of panic reporting saying "Change all your passwords right now!"
Which is only good advice if you've got a bad master password and no 2FA enabled.... Do the basic security things that you should be doing already, and no problem exists.
@Obsolesce is right - read it.
but since most won't - the hackers got into a backup of LP, they had access to all encrypted vaults. This means they can run hashes against the dbs offline, no MFA required.
Now sure, if you had a good LP password in the first place, this is much less of an issue, but not a zero issue situation.
Try understanding the facts of the technology.
Assuming you are not some idiot with a weak and/or reused master password, your vault is basic bulletproof. You have years to reset anything in the vault that you want reset.
Even the article linked by @Obsolesce does not say you need to change all your passwords, assuming you have your vault setup securely to LP recommended defaults.
I've read a number of other articles saying to go change all your passwords right away, so sounds like this one actually got it right.
This breach is no different than any other. Changing from LastPass because of it is a stupid over reaction.
Changing from LastPass because they are part of LogMeIn? I'm 100% behind that. But I'm lazy.
I had been meaning to move since LogMeIn added the tracking junk in, and the cost compared to the competition finally got me to switch.

I agree with Obsolesce - it's time to reset all passwords. The question for me is - is it time to change password managers?
I'm probably going to change - which also means changing many people at my company - ug damn I'm going to have a lot of people saying - "see - told you having all of your passwords in a one place was bad" /sigh.
I had already started transitioning to Bitwarden, so doesn't change much for me.
I know they got the backups of the encrypted blobs. Again it comes down to 1: Do you have a good master password and 2: Do you trust LastPass' implementation of their code?

I've always taken a lot of flack for being "anal" about keeping toilet lids closed. New study shows what people should have known all along because it is obvious...

Mythbusters proved this YEARS ago. @Obsolesce yes, with standard home toilets.

AFAIK, Even VNC doesn't work on Wayland yet.
Nor does MeshCentral
Really? Now I need to go try that when I have a minute.
I just confirmed that mine is working on the default Fedora 37 desktop using both Firefox and Chromium.
Wayland with MeshCentral?
You SURE you are on Wayland?
Isn't Wayland the default for Fedora now? I'm using the stock Fedora, so I'm thinking I am.
Double check that. Maybe you updated from something with X.org.
Fresh install. Wiped root before installing (it was way behind, no point in upgrading).
Do you have NVIDIA drivers on the system? Those will revert you back to X.Org
Yep, sure do. Guess it's not wayland then.
You can check with
loginctland
'''
loginctl show-session -p Type <sessionid>
loginctl show-session -p Type 2
Type=wayland
Well shoot, are my Nvidia drivers not working? The more I find out, the more things I need to look at/fix.

Finally updated my laptop. Now running Fedora 37, and have a few Steam games installing. So much easier than previous versions of Fedora I tried Steam on.

@travisdh1 that's a good idea.
I know it's a shipt topic, but ....
I can remember the trouble my mum had when dad passed away & there's been a few folks who are friends of friends who have died suddenly, just makes you think....
For sure.
We kind of have to consider these things professionally, I just used the easiest method of dealing with things in my personal life as well.
@siringo said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
i've been thinking of some not so happy stuff.
been thinking about all my accounts for this n that, that are secured by 2FA and even just passwords.
why? well been thinking about how people that need to, will be able to access my email (mostly) should I get by that bus.
everything goes to my email, bills, insurance, superannuation, contracts blah blah blah.
2FA has made this very hard.
EG, you get hit by a bus, grief and sorrow abound. People that need access, need to get info about your insurances, it gets sent to your email. They don't know your password, your cell/mobile phone has been smashed so they can't use your auth app, if they even know about that stuff.
What a bloody nightmare.
You can make this simpler, but even simple isn't simple enough when you're in mourning.
I'm starting to wind back my 2FA security on some things, life and the devices we take for granted, is becoming way too complex IMO.
My Lastpass vault automatically passes access on after 30 days of inactivity on my part, which includes the key for my Authy 2FA app.
