mrkidd··on TunnelBear Joins McAfee
Intel no longer owns McAfee, they were spun out a year and a half ago. https://venturebeat.com/2016/09/07/intel-teams-with-tpg-to-s...

Lots and lots of people still use McAfee. Symantec's management products are still light years behind McAfee. Symantec really wasted a big opportunity with what they did to Altiris.

That's it, thanks!
mrkidd··on Chrome's Plan to Distrust Symantec Certificates
Is there a list somewhere of the actual Root CA certificates that will be removed as part of this? Is it just any Root CA certificate that has "Symantec, Thawte, VeriSign, Equifax, GeoTrust, and RapidSSL" in it's name?
mrkidd··on Show HN: Creds – manage API keys with GPG on the command line
pass doesn't have a command to directly source contents of a stored password into shell variables. But it would be great to bring that functionality from this tool into pass.
mrkidd··on Wizard of the Coast asking fans to scan old books
Wow, the two adventure modules I have are on the list. They were hella fun to play and would love to share so others can enjoy. They are stapled bindings though, and I really don't want to cut the pages to put them through my Doxie. Any tips on scanning them without having to cut them?

I did the same, for my college thesis project, back in 1998! It sure has been around for quite a while, glad to see it is still chugging along.
