The auto-type works fine for me with the Firefox Keepass helper url-in-title addon.

> Edit: forget this. As varjolintu explains bellow, this is wrong. ~~You can't have multiple addresses per entry. Some sites will login with different URL's and KeepassXC will not recognize all.~~

Create 2 entries for the same site and install the Keepass helper (url in title) addon

yes yes and yes (to the second questions)

tormock··on Netflix's “Skip Intro” button saves 195 years of watch time per day to viewers
I always skip intros by other means but I have noticed that they are generally shorter then what they used to be.
tormock··on Tell HN: Did you know you can negotiate price on many things?
Yesterday, Comcast tried to start charging me 2.5x for my Internet service... I called to cancel the service and all of a sudden, they were able to give me the old price...
tormock··on After 600 hours 64 workers at Ukraine's Chernobyl nuclear plant finally relieved
> After the TV show with its absolutely cartoonish depiction of the risks of nuclear energy

it was not perfect but it was a good show... aren't all movies cartoonish in some way?

tormock··on Microsoft Enables SELinux by Default for CBL-Mariner Linux Distro
thanks, it appears that a few do... not sure what drove that decision though.

tormock··on Microsoft Enables SELinux by Default for CBL-Mariner Linux Distro
Anyone outside of Microsoft uses this Linux distribution? I'm just curious because if you would have told me that Microsoft had a Linux distribution 20-25 years ago, I would have laughed.
tormock··on Arizona moves to ban recording video of police
> Your comment, like many others in this thread, seems to be of the form "what if the police do this other, unrelated, illegal thing?"

It is not ( yet ) illegal to stand in front of a camera, to block something behind you.

It's one of the 3 things that Obama did (or didn't do) that disappointed me the most.

> You don't want to fly over Russian airspace and have your plane forced to land by Russian MIGs.

Can't they just ask like the US Government does?

I.E.: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2013/07/03/edsn-j03.html

tormock··on Major government surveillance revelations fail to make a big splash
Hypothetical: If you had a law enforcement agency spying/harassing you, what would you do? If they would make it hard to prove?
tormock··on Arizona moves to ban recording video of police
It happens daily in the US... and they also shoot a lot of people: https://github.com/washingtonpost/data-police-shootings (about 1000 per year)... I would love to have a source with all killings by police (not just shootings).... I bet it is a lot more then 1,000 per year.
tormock··on How much Rust in Firefox?

tormock··on NYC allows citizens to report idling vehicles in exchange for a cut of the fines
So all citizens are for-hire police officers... ok.
tormock··on Most medical debt will be wiped from consumer credit reports
That's what I always understood... that is doesn't affect your credit
tormock··on Not a lot of people know about Microsoft PowerToys
/u/dang the title doesn't match... "Microsoft PowerToys: Utilities to customize Windows" vs "Not a lot of people know about Microsoft PowerToys" ... I know that you are very anal about this so I figured I would point it out.

(not sure why it isn't being taken care of automatically though if it is so important)

tormock··on Arizona moves to ban recording video of police
I have seen many similar videos that haven't resulted in prosecutions... some a lot worst, sadly.

They can also just block the view so that the camera is useless...
tormock··on The World Trade Center under construction through photos, 1966-1979
Unrelated, but why did they make the bottom of the One World Trade Center so ugly?

tormock··on Arizona moves to ban recording video of police
The problem with that is that they get 12 cops to body-block any cameras 8ft away or more... sometimes you have to be close to get a good angle.

I was just watching a video of about 6 officers killing/pinning down someone and that happened about 2 months before George Floyd's story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybWJe6G5guc (no-one got charged even if it was caught on video (and not that it matters, but the victim was white)) ... I have see a lot worst before but not when that many officers were involved.
tormock··on Gas pumps happen to be about as insecure as your typical router
I don't think that they hack the existing camera system... they install their own.
tormock··on Eastern Antarctica sees record temperatures 70 degrees above normal
For 3 days
tormock··on Gas pumps happen to be about as insecure as your typical router
I would probably hack the camera system first...
tormock··on Why aren’t gas prices dropping if oil is getting cheaper?
The gas prices go up quickly when the barrel prices go up, and slowly if the barrel prices go down... everyone knows that.
tormock··on US schools can subscribe to an electric bus fleet at lower prices than diesel
