My trip through Time Capsule Hell leads to a different backup approach

Jul 9th 2010 6:47PM (TUAW.com)
If you're really paranoid you can always get a NAS (or roll your own) that supports RAID mirroring and rsync.
Then install something like backupninja (mostly used on Linux servers), et voila, automated incremental backups.

If you roll your own you can use something like TrueCrypt for the whole thing for extra security.

Using the Corehound Pup to secure Guildbanks

Meh. What people don't realize is that accounts do NOT get hacked, at least not in the way I understand the word hack. Nobody is breaking into Blizzards servers, it's always an issue with personal security. The two basic ways of "hacking" accounts are a) scams and b) keyloggers. Other plausible methods would include packet sniffing (which should be negated thanks to encryption) and some form of DNS poisoning (again, encryption or rather, certificates), but I honestly doubt weather this has even ever happened considering the amount of effort and technical skill required. Every real case of an account getting "hacked" is really just a matter of either being careless or just plain ignorant.

If someone told me that they required me to get an authenticator to do something that I'd otherwise be perfectly capable of I'd tell them to shove it because a) now that it's free they've actually stopped shipping to my country and b) I mess around with my iPhone too much to actually trust it to store some critical data permanently (in this case the software authenticators serial number).

And seriously, why isn't it included in the game box?

How would you change Apple's unibody MacBook / MacBook Pro?

Glass trackpad. I don't mind the glass part, but I'm still not really used to not having a physical button. Maybe I'll get used to it, but for now it's just awkward at times.
And also the boot camp drivers have some real issues.

Is it just me or does the following situation seem very very scary.

1. House member joins open Wifi network with jailbroken iPhone
2. root + alpine
3. ???
4. profit ... or some seriously bad sh*t

How would you change Leopard?

Stacks need a way of giving them custom icons, the current version is just plain ugly when you happen to have a shitty icon as the first in whatever folder.
The menu bar needs a custom switch to turn off the transparency.
A2DP could be a little less buggy.
I want my SIMBL and APE back, but I guess that's not really up to Apple.

But all and all, a nice upgrade.
