  • Lack of adoption doesn’t really make password managers a workaround. What’s being worked around? People’s laziness?

    Password managers actually do solve the phishing problem to an extent, since if you’re using it properly, you’ll have a unique password for every service, limiting the scope of the problem.

    Putting TOTP 2fa codes in your password manager behind the same password as everything else actually destroys any additional security added by 2fa, since it puts you back to a single auth factor.









  • I didn’t even know Rogers offered hosting. Why anyone would buy hosting from a residential ISP, I have no idea. OVH shouldn’t even be a competitor, they’re a datacenter company, not an ISP (they probably have service contracts with multiple backbone providers that are only available in datacenter hubs, which are orders of magnitude more reliable).


  • Looking at the ping you saw with Secure Core, this makes perfect sense. It’s routing your packets out of the country and back through who knows how many stops. The other VPN you’re testing is in your same city and adds basically no extra latency. You can’t really blame Rogers for this, they’re just following the laws of physics.
