Anytime you start a new project, your first goal is to have a backup. That’s what today’s episode is about. Things have changed since we covered it last, so here we go again.

First figure out what you want to backup. It should be way less than before. Most of everything already lives somewhere else. Your bills, statements, and other things have homes somewhere else. You are probably subscribing to music and movies, so that is somewhere else. Basically your documents.

We recommend a cloud provider. They are all good enough for most people.

If you want something more advanced, we mention SyncThing, Restic, and Synology.

003 - LastPass Breach

[If you are not subscribed to short explanations, please sign up. We forwarded the feed from the other podcast for a month.]

We’ve always recommended password managers. Both Tom and Chaim are using Bitwarden, but we have recommended LastPass in the past. In fact we’ve had LastPass on the old show a few times.

On December 21 they explained a breach that caused user vaults to be lost. That is bad. We explain why we are now recommending that you should move.

However, if the choice is LastPass or nothing, stick with LastPass. They have done more for protection than others, but the fact they are not keeping up with newish protocols is a cause for concern.
