How to Pick Your Password Manager

Trash article only describing what a password manager is while only naming "solutions" from Apple, Google & Co... worthless for anybody with at least a little knowledge - even more so for the clueless as it doesn't give any lead on how to actually choose a PWM... basically clickbait.

Better check https://www.privacyguides.org/en/passwords for some valid information...

tl;dr: If you wanna be on the safe side, go with KeePass+Synchting. Storing credentials anywhere but on personally owned metal is a big no-no in my world.

I'm currently studying for a network certification: 540 pages where I alread know like 70% of the content but am missing some specific (and important) details. Having to go through all of this without loosing focus and thus missing those details is... challenging, to say the least.

For the love of , please somebody have an answer to that! After ads and sponsorings, shorts are the third most annoying thing on YouTube. Tubular (newpipe-fork) helps with the first two, yet getting rid of shorts seems impossible.

sure, there might be ways around it, like Indivious or a filtered RSS feed over all subscriptions.... on desktop, there's at least BlockTube but for Android I'm still searching/waiting/hoping.

Recommend some open-source tools for privacy!

Native Alpha as wrapper for PWAs or basically any website one doesn't want to install an app for. I use it for sites like Amazon, Paypal, LinkedIn, 9gag, and so many others. Opens in fullscreen, includes adblock, custom user-agent, shortcuts to directly open the page and much more... neat as alternative for when I don't wan't or need an app just to use a service.

Sec+ was kinda doable for me (passed with 84% a month ago) but only because its a topic that actually interests me. Networking, especially subnetting, however has been an achilles heel of mine for 20+ years though...

I wouldn't know how/where to evem start if it wasn't for some pretty amazing youtube tutors (looking at you, Professor Messer^^). Reading is a nightmare but watching videos and doing practice questions/exams kinda works for me... I basically:

  • watch the whoöe topic once
  • do all the comptia practice questions
  • identify the areas where I drop under 80% success
  • watch those (and more) videos again
  • rinse & repeat until the last week
  • switch to practice exams for the last week
  • hope for the best

I'll only know by the end of next week if this works out, though...
