definitely not, adding in a second factor such as fido u2f provides unique passwords per domain, which levels up security against phishing attacks!

stees··on Reasons to replace advanced search with filters
One of the best implementations for an advanced search I know is the price comparison platform geizhals. They allow you to quickly drill down to a subset of relevant products, the filters give you a quick overview of the options you have.

Check out the desktop version, the mobile version doesn’t give the same feeling.

stees··on If any Ubuntu maintainers are listening: PLEASE STOP DOING THIS
Yes, no PPAs but enough third party repos available.
stees··on If any Ubuntu maintainers are listening: PLEASE STOP DOING THIS
Debian is usually a great and pretty stable ecosystem choice. Also APT makes it easy to manage third party repositories (package pinning).

One big advantage I see with other distributions is that the release support cycles are longer (5y+).

But it will greatly depend on your usage, we are pretty happy with Debian running on somewhat 300+ machines.
