wolffenstein posted:As for in case something should happen to either of you, I can say from a recent family death the best way to do this is to include your master password into your will. Sounds bizarre, but it's the most effective and useful way. Or at least directions how to get it, like storing a piece of paper in a safety deposit box. This is totally in the plans--at least, we're going to store it written down in the same place we're storing the will, which should hopefully be good enough. My primary worry about having it written down too many places is then when it changes, we have to make sure all those places get updated. To a certain extent, I think what my wife wants is for us to share one account; LastPass's personas seems pretty up to that task (they even mention it in the documentation). I'm just a little wary of 1) keeping my passwords in the cloud like that, and 2) requiring an Internet connection to LastPass to access them (the Internet connection alone isn't as worrisome: I need a connection to connect to the site I need a password for; it's requiring a connection to LastPass specifically that bothers me). My inclination at the moment is to work a little with LastPass because it's free, and see how I like it.

You don't actually need an active connection to use the last pass extension on desktop or mobile.

I just upgraded to 10.9 (from, uh, 10.6.8  ) and I'm really missing the "blank selection with esc." Is there a substitute for that shortcut in this OS or am I gonna find myself clicking on blank space a whoooooole lot more?

Yeah that definitely used to be there although I never really used it... Clicking somewhere that doesn't select anything accomplishes the same thing.

Oh poo poo, thanks! It's a bit more unwieldy than just hitting escape, but hey, it'll let me jump through folders quickly enough. e: I guess I added cmd+Esc as a Deselect All shortcut, I'm gonna see if I can gently caress around with some other settings to cut out the part that requires me to hold down cmd.

Youtube stuff at 1080'll reliably kill flash (or the whole browser, depending) for me. Turning off HW Accel fixes that, but then all of your frames'll be scattered on the floor rather than beamed into your eyeballs. Then again, I upgraded flash to 13.n because it was crashing doing this, so I'm half-tempted to believe it's not entirely flash's fault; it doesn't seem to be a problem — for me, at least — on other sites, just youtube, and just with HW Accel on, so maybe that's the issue.

Anyone using XtraFinder or TotalFinder? I read that you can get back labels instead of tags in finder with either. I used this feature a lot before mavericks, it would speed up my workflow. The only difference is XtraFinder is free, TotalFinder is $18. The only post I found recent was this one that said there was lag, but that was 2013. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3426005&pagenumber=296&perpage=40#post411107813 the_lion fucked around with this message at 10:29 on Apr 14, 2014 |

Copying from the iOS app thread: I've never seen anyone mention Dashlane during this whole Heartbleed scare, but for my money it's the best password manager out there. Nice design, free the first six months (if you share the app on social media or something like that and after that it's only 30 dollars a year), great browser extensions and the best iOS password manager app I've tried. Give it a shot: https://www.dashlane.com/

I might have missed this part of the conversation, but aside from cross-platform support, what does a password manager gain you over the built-in iCloud Keychain? I've never used any of the third-party tools so I'm genuinely curious (just not curious enough to spend money first).

iCloud Keychain is an okay implementation currently. Works great for syncing Safari and wifi passwords, but if you want to save a password you put into a Mac or iOS app, it's nearly impossible. The effort to get your Safari password for Facebook so you can plug it into the Facebook iOS app is very annoying to say the least. However I will commend Apple for the effort they put into making iCloud Keychain secure. The fact it's an entirely separate process from signing in with your Apple ID is a clear sign Apple takes customer security and privacy seriously. There's also the all devices lost problem. Because iCloud Keychain only works on recent Macs and iOS devices, you're SOL if you have access to neither. LastPass.com and 1Password (when used with Dropbox) offer ways to view your password data in any web browser. If you do get access to a recent Apple device, you have to remember two passwords (Apple ID and iCloud Keychain Code) or three if you turned on two factor authentication on your Apple ID (Apple ID, Recovery Key, and iCloud Keychain Code). My recommendation is to use both, but rely on iCloud Keychain only for convenience. It was really awesome when I entered a friend's wifi password into my Mac to see it had synced to my iPhone, and he was impressed despite hating what Apple stands for. LastPass is free for desktop and web browser syncing, while 1Password has a free trial for their desktop app. wolffenstein fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Apr 14, 2014 |

For me, the thing that puts 1Password (and presumably others) above iCloud keychain is the ability to store arbitrary data in it. It can make an assumption that if I'm at a slightly different URL, that the login information still applies; for example if I'm on amazon.com it will fill my amazon.ca password, which is the same, unless I tell it I have different information. With iCloud keychain this is impossible. Also I have to use linux at work, and 1Password, despite having ZERO linux support, at least provides a method to access your information, if not any sort of browser integration (for that you probably want lastpass)

With iCloud keychain this is impossible. As part of the great password change of 2014, I reduced the number of separate items I had in 1Password from over 700 items down to under 300. In older versions of 1Password, you couldn't easily combine login info and other things like security questions and two factor authentication backup codes into a single entry. 1Password 4 fixed that thankfully.

A lot of banks will let you export your transactions as a csv file, it would be a good place to start. If you can get one, you can use grep or excel to search for the transactions you want.

As the guy said, find out however your bank lets you export your data and search through it. You might miss a few if you're not careful, sometimes merchants appear as pretty strange names, I always have the hardest time figuring out "what the gently caress did I buy and what is this place?" then I realize they're just strangely named. Not-computer solution? Get an Amex and buy all your gas with that. They give you a year-end summary and you can drill in to purchases by category. It's pretty badass.

So, for a while I was bitching about not being able to use disk images with the Mavericks Migration Assistant. Just stumbled across an article that makes it possible. The trick is: just before you run Migration Assistant, mount the disk image as root like so: sudo hdiutil attach ~/Desktop/yourimage.dmg MA logs out all active users but runs under root itself.

Does anyone know how I can get scrolling to work the way I want in terminal emulators? In both iTerm2 and the default terminal, when I open a nano document and try to scroll down it does nothing, and when I try to scroll up it just scrolls through my terminal session. Compare this to gterm which I use at work where when I open nano, it lets me scroll up and down no problem, much like in a gui text editor. Is there anyway to get the latter behaviour in OS X?

You'd have to buy mac, windows and iOS versions separately. On my PC, I use the HTML file in the .agilekeychain package on Dropbox to look up passwords. It doesn't allow me to modify stuff, so I just dump new logins into a text file in Dropbox and take care of it next time I use my mac.

I'm not sure how to pose this question about iCal, but here it goes: I'm looking for a way for the calendar to auto-add events when I add a certain event. I just started home brewing beer, so what I'm trying to accomplish is: 1. I manually add "Brew: Porter" on Jan 1 2. The app automatically adds "Rack: Porter" on January 14 (and "Bottle: Porter" on January 21, and "Drink: Porter" on February 5) Essentially I want to be able to create an event, and then have another event auto-created 2 weeks later (and 3 and 5). It sounds like an IFTTT recipe, but I don't see an option for iCal anywhere. Is there any way to make this work? Millions fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Apr 16, 2014 |

No of course that functionality won't exist in a basic calendar app that's a very select use case. You might be able to accomplish it with IFTTT if your Calendar.app (not iCal anymore) is linked to google but even then it might take a few different steps in IFFFT

Could be a good candidate for AppleScript if you are happy to add these events through a dialog box rather than into iCal directly.
