  • Are you certain they care about weed? Maybe they’re only looking for narcotics or meth. Especially since you’re in a legal state.

    Ask them to delay the test for two weeks after your hire. That way they don’t waste the money testing when you’ll know you’ll fail for weed. Be upfront about it. Tell them that you quit as soon as you were hired and that weed isn’t a big deal to you. You just smoked it with friends once in a while.

    Not every company is a total asshole about weed. In the end they are real humans. They already hired you, and don’t want to waste that time doing so. As long as you don’t make them waste money on a test, they’ll probably be happy you could test clean two weeks later.

    Maybe I’m too optimistic.











  • Says who? Just because I download a copy of a photo from Getty Images doesn’t mean I now own the copyright on it or I can do whatever I want with it. The image needs to be licensed to me, and the terms of the license dictate exactly what I can do with it.

    You can grant federated instances a license to download and display your content without the right to monetize, package it, or distribute it in certain ways. This is what licensing was made for.

    Instance owners can make each other agree to a license before federating.






  • Nice try NSA.

    You don’t even know what you’re talking about. Security features of Intel chips? The encryption happens on each phone. Phones don’t have Intel chips on them. The server is only a relay. The encryption algorithm is open source and security experts say it’s good encryption. The code is right in the APK and anyone can look at it.

    There is no way for me as a user to see who your contacts are by using Signal. Obviously, since it uses phone numbers and not accounts, the people operating the server know who you are messaging. But other users have no idea.

    NSA Cloud Servers? I highly doubt that. Using a packet sniffer it’s easy to see which IPs your phone is talking to. I doubt an of them are “NSA cloud servers”. Once your encrypted packets are sent, though, it’s impossible to know how they are routed before they go to your recipient. I assume the government knows exactly who I message, and I don’t care about that. It’s friends and family. If you care about that, then don’t use it.

    Get your facts right if you want to be an anti-Signal advocate because right now you just sound like a lunatic.




  • I use KeePass and keep my database in the cloud. I use a key file that is never stored in the cloud in addition to my master password. You get a cloud backup of your database, and updates will sync to your devices if your cloud provider has a client that does that.

    I actually don’t sync it directly to my phone. I download a copy as needed. I also don’t add passwords on my phone to my main database. I use a separate database for logins I create on my phone and import them once in a while on my PC. This is because Google Drive’s sync on Android has been unreliable for me, though I haven’t tried again in years.

    I use KeePass DX on Android because it has a nice virtual keyboard so you don’t have to use the clipboard, which is insecure. It also has a better UI with fingerprint unlocking.
