And here we go again

Still moving into the Mac.   Getting used to Safari, vs Firefox vs Brave vs Opera.   Won’t use MS anything, and Chrome irritates the crap outta me.  Seeing how Firefox has been compromised for all intents and purposes by Googlefu, I’ve been straying from the den with them.  Brave seems like a good’un, and I am willing to play for awhile until I start seeing add promos on my phone, geared from my web searches.   Been seeing that in Amazon while using FF.

Security is ‘an issue’, but since I am not using my Mac or phone for ‘other things’, I only worry about direct comms between peeps.  Try as I might, meatspace is not really doable in many instances.  Too much distance between.   SO, we use coded words or entendre to pass info if so needed.   If we can use encrypted comms, we do so.   Speaking of which, I finally went and opened a proton mail account.  Its in the sidebar for those with need.   And, something you’ll want to keep in mind.  Encryption only works between nodes, not at end sources.  If ya wanna keep it private, get a PGP or similar and all parties need to create keys.   And NEVER save anything in hard format in clear text.   Keep it encrypted if you need to save something.  Look at my pages, encryption is under GP4U.   Cleopatra is a good open source program for PC’s and linux machines, I haven’t tried it with the Mac yet.

Now, back to work.  Done playing with this new program for offline blogging.(the last one locked up after three posts demanding a payment plan I felt was way the hell out of reasonable.)   Puddle-o-cats time in the house; too hot to play or do much besides sprawl as wide and flat as they can get on the coolest surfaces.   Gotta suck wearing a furcoat 24/7 and not be able to sweat.   But its good4me because it opens up time for me to get shit done where they aren’t trying to catch the flying fingers on the keyboard, or get underfoot to get attentions.   My writing schedule is now zero dark to Dawn, and Kitteh siesta: about 5 hours total a day where I can work without meathooks in flesh, or ‘Oohhh TOYS!!!’ Assault on my typing hands.
