Agreed. I'm a KeePass2 user as well, so was VERY interested in this topic. Unfortunately, this slashdot story feels like unjustified smear clickbait as far as I can tell after reading the developer's side of things. It might be nice to have a clarification/update to the original post with the rest of the details, not just the sexy, incorrect TL;DR interpretation of the situation.
If I had the time, I'd write an app to burn data just to piss off big red. Since I'll be paying almost double for my unlimited data, it sure seem likes I should start getting a better value for my money?
Seems like a simple app: -->If on 4G with excellent signal and over some battery full % (user configurable) ------>Download random data and discard, just to burn bandwidth. ------>Rinse/Repeat
I've put of with a lot of BS from VZW to keep my grandfathered unlimited plan (locked bootloaders, crippled features VZW disables, etc), but jacking up the price like this really pisses me off.
Just bought one this week, so far really liking it.
I upgraded from my bootloader-unlocked Samsung GS3 w/extended battery that I've been holding onto forever.
So anyone know of a client that can be run from a DD-WRT or Tomato router?
I'd be up for throwing it on my home router it there's a client that I can just add right into the router.
Startssl.com will give you a free Signed SSL certificate for use with a webserver. Good for your base host domain & 1 additional host. I've been using them for a couple years. I run my own server for fun at home and wanted to try SSL to add it to my resume, and also to secure communications, and just because I could. It wasn't too hard, and well worth it IMO.
Give it a try, worst case you are out the cost - NOTHING!
