I have come across a few add-ons that are only available through GitHub, for example. So I’m wondering, is there some system to keep them updated automatically, or do I have to manually redownload them every time?
A couple years ago there was a discussion about that idea on Right Click Select, and before that, cg cookie made (now outdated) script for update checking.
However, there are no current resources that I am aware of, which is a shame, because it would be really handy.
Here, i found it: github.com/CGCookie/blender-addon-updater though it looks like it only works with github which makes sense because I don’t think blendermarket has an API
A hostel company I stayed with a while back emailed me with the subject: “Your booking is confirmed!”. This made me frantically check all my accounts since I hadn’t booked any hostels recently. I was super concerned until I opened the email and saw… it was a stupid marketing email…...
So recently I’ve gotten a bit more serious about my internet security, and made some changes. Here’s a short list of what I’ve done, but I’m wondering if I’m missing anything important:...
moved from brave to firefox Why? Brave is open source
Brave Search has been selling data they don’t own, for AI to train with, which makes me distrust the Browser
bought my own domain for my email so I can switch providers. Great to have more control over your assets, but I don’t think this is exactly more secure.
It does keep my business accounts secure, but I guess that’s different than internet security
Switched to duck duck go They sold out forever ago. Your search history is probably safe with Google and not all that lucrative to fraudsters anyway
Do you have any sources/info? I was not aware of them being sold out.
If you really want to hide your activity, just use tor!
True, for general use though, Tor is just so slow.
Keeping all your passwords in the cloud? No bueno!
Bitwarden is fairly secure, and open source as a plus. but I do keep a notebook backup too.
I definitely recommend one of those data eraser services that contacts all the data brokers and gives them legal notices to erase your data from their systems. It’s a shame they’re necessary, but oh well.
