I do (occasionally). It's easier because it remembers my password on a smartphone.

Regarding Joomla: Eww. Joomla and Drupal both have awful security statistics. Sadly.

Ironically, you can't use most GNU/Linux distributions securely without sharing a quite unique amount of data with US-American servers. Linux users tend to ignore that.

There is no such thing as "anti-exploit programs". The best you can do is use your existing anti-exploit mechanisms (-> EMET).

Depends on what I'm trying to do. I have one Windows laptop, one OpenBSD laptop, one OpenBSD server and one FreeBSD server.
I might give NetBSD a run on the laptop though, just for the sake of it.

Non-Windows Software / Re: Thoughts on "next generation" forum systems? (Discourse, nodeBB, etc.)
« Last post by Tuxman on July 23, 2015, 04:51 PM »
All of them.
You know, I've been using "classic" forums for about 15 years now; maybe new people who are used to Facebook's way of displaying your messages (i.e. you're lucky if you find what you were looking for) have less problems than I do.

New forum software developers seem to think that everything has to be different - even the good parts.

I guess it's the structure. I tried discussing on discourse.org once and failed several times to find my discussion later. It just lacks clarity.
