Now that many of us are working from home, we are being bombarded with ads and offers to be safe, and use a VPN. This is a scare tactic. VPNs are totally redundant for MOST purposes.
What is a VPN?
A Virtual private network (VPN) is a secure tunnel that encrypts traffic between its endpoints. If traffic is already encrypted between your computer and a destination, a VPN is totally redundant.
I have a bad back and neck, and a good massage chair (MC) is a necessity. But they do not come cheap! I currently own two of the top-of-the-line Japanese MCs, and here is my thorough review of both of them.
As part of their "service," MyIDCare monitors your compromised passwords on the internet. But this is totally useless!
But, almost all of my 1000 different accounts use my e-mail address for my user ID, and this report does not identify the site in question, so there is nothing I can do about this!
If you were compromised by Equifax, take the $125 (+ $25.hour spent) rather than credit monitoring.
The Evelo Aurora is the second electronic bike I have tried. (See my review of the Vanmoof S2.) Unlike the Vanmoof S2, the Evelo Aurora looks like an e-bike:
The Vanmoof Electrified S2 bike is from Holland, with a USA store in Brooklyn.
It is a very handsome bicycle:
Drupal 8 has integrated other projects and modules into the Drupal Core. For example: Views, Symfony, and JQuery. Asz a result, whenever any of the included projects have an architecture change, or security issue, the Drupal Core must be updated, and there is not an automatic way of doing this. As a result, there have been a half-dozen Core updates in the past month, and it wastes 2–3 hours of my time whenever I must update my 6 sites. And this is if there are no bugs in the provided update, and all goes smoothly.
I have run out of room for CDs and records. All available wall space is taken, and cabinets can cost more than the music media. Hence, all of my music has now been transferred to my computer systems. I have about 120,000 tracks now, which take about 2 TB of storage. All newer tracks are in lossless Flac or M4a, and many are in high-resolution (24 bits up to 96 kHz). To be safe, I have FIVE copies of everything on different disks and different machines. (I have actually managed to lose three backups once...). I also have one copy in my vault.
As an audiophile, I only want to listen to lossless audio, and high-resolution audio is even better. I also refuse to subscribe to streams with copy protection. This leaves out iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, and their ilk. I also listen almost entirely to Classical music, so if that is not your thing, some of my comments may net apply.
As an Electrical engineer, I thought that I knew enough about speaker cable. My Magnepan MG 3.7i speakers were connected to my Sanders Magtech amplifier using heavy zip cord from Monster Cable.
But ever since I bought my new Maggies (to replace my old original MG-1s), I had been unhappy with their imaging, and have been moving my speakers and my listening position, all without much effect.
Create a database, database user (with all permissions) and a database user password. Most hosting environments let you do this from a mySQL link in the Control Panel. You can administer the database using phpMyAdmin, also accessible from the Control Panel.
Be sure that your webpage hosting environment for PHP is at least PHP 7.0. The newer the better. Be sure that your command line PHP version is also at least 7.0. Change the php settings to allow the maximum size memory for php, and file sizes for uploads.
