Where Do You Guys Throw Your Local Git Repos?
  • Yeah, everyone has to find their own way of organising, I guess. For me, there are too many different little projects that it would get messy throwing them all in one folder. And they’re so varied that I couldn’t think of one single “theme” or topic for most of them. Nothing I would remember a week later anyways.

  • Eshop credit card not allowed
  • There are databases of which BIN numbers (first 6 digits of the CC number) belong to which bank and region. Sometimes these are wrong.

    Or, Nintendo doesn’t allow the same CC for accounts in different countries nowadays?

  • Update Digital Picture Frame library remotely?
  • That probably doesn’t work unless you power-cycle the picture frame after changing the photos.

    I had this with some offline Samsung picture frame and a Transcend WiFi SD card. The SD card runs a small Linux and can be unlocked to add own scripts. I had a script that would rsync files from my storage to the SD. However, while the new files were written to the SD just fine, the picture frame never re-read the list of files from the SD. And after power-cycling, my specific model needed to be turned on manually again. So, that wasn’t a satisfactory solution.

  • Revolut customers say e-money firm failed them after being scammed - BBC News
  • They’re in the process of getting a proper UK license, though.

    Also, Revolut has a European banking license for some years now.

    And I’m not sure whether, after handing out your 2FA and other security details, your money is still covered under that 85k insurance. I know that German banks have a clause in their contract about this.

  • Whats the best/cheapest email service to hook into?
  • I’m using UberSpace for 5€/month for a few small web projects and for emails. Unlimited mailboxes, unlimited aliases. However, you have to configure it using console commands via SSH. But it’s all explained in their documentation.

  • Why self host a password manager?
  • If it’s the system with the (locked) KeePass database on it, you should be fine. The encryption can be tweaked so that unlocking the database takes a second even on modern systems. Doesn’t affect you much, but someone trying to brute-force the password will have a hard time. It also supports keyfiles for even more security.

    If somebody infiltrates your end user device, no password tool will be safe once you unlock it.
