Just wanted to say that I like your username :)

Are you sure that Feedly is open source? I can’t find any mention of it on their website.

Ah ok. That makes sense. Thanks for your reply.

Can I ask why you’ve taken this approach? I understand why you would use AdGuard at home, but couldn’t you just also use it on your phone/laptop as well when you are away?
Wouldn’t using the VPN to your home network just add extra latency? Or is there some benefit that I’m not aware of?

- Comment on Meta and Salesforce are looking to rehire some workers they just laid off. It's putting those people in an awkward spot. 7 months ago:
There’s a difference.
“A company may lay off an employee when it doesn’t have the resources to retain them, while a company may fire an employee who isn’t meeting the company’s expectations.”

Sure, they both suck because they both result in you not having a job anymore. However, if you are fired, then this looks worse when you’re looking for your next job. Potential employers may want to know why you were fired, and will likely view you as a risk.
Whereas, being laid off doesn’t carry the same negative impact to your reputation that being fired does. You haven’t done anything wrong to get laid off.
And in some countries, getting laid off (AKA made redundant) means that the company has to provide a payout, which is proportional to your length of service. You wouldn’t get this if you have been fired for wrongdoing.
- Comment on More than $35 million has been stolen from over 150 victims since December — ‘nearly every victim’ was a LastPass user 8 months ago:
Except you’re giving your passwords in an encrypted format. So if the company is trustworthy, it’s safe to let them store your passwords because it’s encrypted in such a way that even the company who own the password manager couldn’t access your passwords even if they wanted to.
(Note the caveat of “IF the company is trustworthy”, which rules out Lastpass)
Now there are legitimate arguments against storing passwords in the cloud via a password manager… so in that case, you may wish to use a local password manager (like Keepass) instead.
