Hi, I'm Joseph. I'm 25 years old, a #business owner; #OkayRelax, #American, married, have 2 kids & a dog, & living in the #Philippines.

I'm a #hackintosh user that enjoys #webdev & deploying #selfhosted alternatives to popular services - my latest being #Mattermost.

I came to PH for vacation & ended up not wanting to leave after doing #charity work with #TrueManila. Now I help kids living in poverty & my wife & I are trying to adopt one - an 11 year old girl named Rian.

I need a Single Sign On solution that's free or has 1 fee rather than a per person fee, and is easy to use. Any suggestions?

I just put silicone no-tie shoe laces on my sneakers. This is the future - maybe.

What's the simplest way to redact text in a PDF?

Dedicated IP on a VPN doesn't help me with PayPal. I can only withdraw to my old bank. New bank keeps getting flagged.

@hugo actually maybe if it's a dedicated IP, PayPal won't detect it as belonging to a VPN. Maybe they base it on logins from the same IP rather than the organization associated with the IP. I'll give it a shot in the morning.

This goes back to my PayPal issues. Still getting flagged every time I try to withdraw and now can't withdraw even after talking to support. Support tells me to go back to the US or give my password to a friend and have them withdraw for me. Pro security.

I need a VPN with a residential NY IP address. It shouldn't show as belonging to a data center. Any recommendations?

Giving Wavebox a try as my all-in-one messenger. Not sure how I feel about spending $4/mo for a browser though.

I've been trying to withdraw from PayPal for over a week and it keeps getting blocked. Support says to try again on Monday. If I needed that money immediately I'd be completely screwed.

Getting a lot of responses that require access to 1 of my devices. I do sync between my devices, but if I need to suddenly evacuate, I might not be able to grab my devices before I leave. I'd then lose access to everything, including bank accounts.

Struggling to think of a good way to keep backups of my KeePass database. All my passwords, including the password for off-site backups, are randomly generated and stored in KeePass, so currently without my KeePass database, I can't restore a backup of my KeePass database.

I could create a Google account with an easy-to-remember password and store it on Drive, but I also don't want it stored on Google drive, so meh.

Power bank by Tomo, cells by LG, bracelet by Rian (daughter).

Walking towards a storm for a haircut

This is now the most expensive power bank I've owned at around $22 with cells. At least it has a cool screen and I can replace the cells when needed.

Tried to pull cells out of a laptop battery to use with my Tomo M4, but the cells were glued in there and I didn't want to risk them going boom from trying to pry them out, so I just tossed it. Time to order cells.

Wow I've been part of Fosstodon for over a year

Just found out about Matterhorn, a Mattermost terminal client. I think it's interesting that it exists, but I'm wondering what is leading devs to create a CLI for everything. I don't think I'd have a legitimate use for it, but I might install it to play around with it a bit.

What are your most common uses for Android split screen?

Fastmail made their logo uglier.

I switched from Atom to VS Code a couple weeks ago and now I'm wondering how I survived without it. Proper suggestions and the debugger make life so much easier.
