Using KeePass with Dropbox for Cross-Platform Password Management

Image
As I have been creating new accounts for myself on multiple websites in recent months, I have been taking lessons from the widely-reported story from August 2012 of how Gizmodo contributor Mat Honan's multiple accounts with shared passwords had been hacked . I have used different, lengthy passwords with multiple randomly-generated characters for each site. However, such lengthy passwords are impossible for me to remember, and I would not want to use the even less secure method of writing all of them down. I had heard multiple computer security experts recommend using such different, randomly-generated passwords and storing them in a password store which would require remembering only one master password. Ideally, for greater security, a key file would be used for the encrypted password store. In seeking out such a password store that was free, open source, and available across multiple platforms, I came across KeePass . The site's download page has the Windows download, as w

Visiting CareLink Site on OS X Mavericks

Here is a tip for people who fall into the same small category as myself. If you use a Medtronic insulin pump, use the CareLink site to store your pump history, use a Mac, and are running OS X Mavericks for a time - short , I hope - after I write this post, you will run into the problem that I ran into when I first attempted to upload my pump data after upgrading to Mavericks. You will get an error page stating, Unfortunately, the configuration of your PC or web browser is not compatible with our standard system requirements. This is because the only OS X versions supported are "MacOSX 10.5 (Intel), MacOSX 10.6/10.7/10.8". Unfortunately, Mavericks is version 10.9. Unlike the logic for the browser, which recognized that my Firefox 24.0 met the Firefox 5 requirement, the OS check does not appear to allow for future versions. The workaround that I am using, for now, is to use the Firefox User Agent Switcher plugin. After installing the plugin and restarting Firefo

Website FINALLY Adapted to Apple Silicon

Back in March, I took advantage of a sale at Costco, advanced the inevitable update, and bought a blue-colored iMac. With its Apple M1 chip , after reinstalling essential packages using Homebrew , I had to make multiple changes to the Apache and Tomcat server configurations to allow my website, and the Tomcat server serving the biking weather suitability forecast application, to work properly again. Since these explorations - including a dead end trying to switch from using Apache to Nginx for the web server, given what seems to be the trend and the latter's apparent strength being reverse proxy work - were done very sporadically, it took me until this month finally to get it right. One thing I am glad I did relatively early in the process was to make the new configuration folders git repositories, so I could review the history of document changes and, more importantly, reverse them if needed. This was done using the following steps for the Apache (httpd) folder: cd /
