    Clonespy - My preferred Duplicate File FInder

    wouldn't it have been easier to game stream with a rasberry pi and monitor on a swing arm?

    seconds got a reaction from Lurick in IFTTT announces their Pro plan   
    Ive been using IFTTT for years now. I understand that they have to monetize somehow but limiting free users to just 3 custom applets is extreme. If you check playstore reviews, most everyone is giving them crap about it. I wouldnt be surprised if they changed the 3 applet limit.

    RE: WINDOWS SEARCH
    IMPORTANT!!!! Hi Linus I haven't used Windows Search in around 8 years. There is a program called "Everything" by Voidtools (David Carpenter.) which is, once it has cataloged the files (a few seconds) on ALL connected hard drives and network connected drives, INSTANT. https://www.voidtools.com/ Give him a plug if you like it!   Faster than Google. Because it runs in DOS I think not through the OS. It is very usefully customisable. and can search by name, dates (access, created etc etc) file type, anything. You can save a backup of search results with all connected drives also, in case you want to see what you have which is not currently plugged in. Windows search is SO slow. It is utterly trash compared to this. I would say is has saved me at least weeks if not more of time since I use it. The other program which has saved me zillions of hours is Process Lasso by Bitsum. Check it out. I can run as many processes as I like the the PC never crashes. It never makes anything slower. It just restrained processes which clog things up to slow them down a bit so that everything i want to run can run.   Just because of these two programs alone - I will never touch a mac.   Hope this helps!

    Resetting the login password on a Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 local account isn't a overly cumbersome process and there are a number of methods available for each. This tutorial will go over three including the CMD method, the Hiren's BootCD PE method, & the MediCat method.
     
    1. The CMD Method
     
    2. The Hiren's BootCD PE Method
     
    3. The MediCat Method
    There are a number of other ways to accomplish this and get the same result but these are among the easiest methods. There are also ways to recover Online Microsoft accounts but they will not be gone over at this time. Hope this helps.

    "Arguing you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say."
    Edward Snowden
     
    In this day and age, privacy is a joke. Literally. I've joked about it with friends, family, and random people from the internet. It's become an expectation to be spied on by the government, companies, and random people.
     
    This guide will help you be more private, anonymous and secure online
    I want to help you make it harder for people to spy, keep records, target you etc. on you. 
     
    If you have anything to say about this, don't be afraid to say something. I'm a big boy who can take CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Don't complain without saying how it could be better
    4 Notes
    1: There will be links to videos and websites, I am not affiliated with these people or companies. They are another resource, to fact check, go into more detail, or be presented in a way that you prefer or like better.
    2: The idea of privacy being a right, and privacy in general, can be political. My belief is that privacy is for everyone, regardless of who they are.
    3: No solution is 100% bullet proof. The way you type, the way you talk, the way you use a mouse, what you search for, can all be traced back to you. I wouldn't worry about those micro things, unless you're Snowden.
    4: Privacy is not always convenient. It's up to you if you want to be completely anonymous (or almost) online. Even if you just stop using some of Google's services, that reduces your online foot print and creation of data.
     
    Network connections (VPNs, Tor)
    Browser and Search Engine
    Social Media
    Phone Security
    Computer security (desktops and laptops)
    Additional resources
    This is a work in progress. I encourage feedback. I want this to be the ultimate written privacy and anonymity guide.
    I will continue adding onto this in the future.

    Thanks so much for joining. My vision is a community based on positive member interaction and helping each other. I believe that if we all work together toward this goal, we will have success in the long run.
    We don't have official forum rules or anything like that yet, but as long as everyone is respectful of each other, and patient with the growing pains that we are going to experience (vBulletin 5 is VERY beta right now) we can make this into an AWESOME community forum.
