You can choose to save the wifi for the system (and so not saved in user kwallet) or for user (stored in the user kwallet)... so you can choose what fits tou best

to understand kwallet think that you store your credit card in it and you have your computer on a public place. The login is just the first way to protect you, even if someone can see your password, to use your CC, you still have to lose your kwallet password, that is only rarely used an so harder to be stolen. It's the samething for firefox master password, kiskis, keepass(x) or the apple keychain... another layer to protect your passwords.

If do not want to have 2 layers of security, just set a empty password for kwallet.

because you should have multiple levels of security...
the password for login should be different from the kwallet... and you should even use several kwallets, one for websites, other for local access machines, vpn or more secured data (bank info and other logins).

a true wallet will auto-close after some minutes unused and require new auth to open (to prove that you are still the correct owner and not a random user trying to steal some data

it's the same for executing superuser commands... it asks a password as a security layer... you can also disable it if you want, but is very recommended to confirm that you are really allowed to do that

it's up to you, but look at windows and how the the "easy to use" and "do not ask anything, assume it's OK" have broken the security several times and helped hackers and virus to take over the systems.

Remember, there is no "one size fits all" security, but having as much security layers as possible help a little every time

Hitler alone could not do anything...he needed the people support.
German people fall in to the nazi hate talk due to the instability of world crisis and specially by the huge and stupid "war compensation" from WW1. Crisis make people to want to believe on new solutions, specially if the current available ones don't really solve anything... just look at Greece economical crisis and how a both a fascist party and a alternative popular party gained popularity in last elections. Extended crisis and greed are the seeds for wars. Mutual help, support and sharing helps avoid wars. It's up to the people to decide what path they want to follow (what that could do to others).

All Wars are STUPID

There! FIFY

There is always one side that think it is better, it is correct, it have some kind of right. Worst wars happen when both sides think that. Then there is all the lies, illusions and blindness that fuel some kind of hate that didn't existed in the past. Everyone have reasons to both LOVE and HATE the next guy, just press the right buttons to increase one over the other.

Use iptables rules in the router to allow/disallow traffic at some hours of day, see this. You can totally block the traffic, or QoS it to oblivion on hot hours and increase it traffic later (join the iptables rules by hours to set the classid and then apply different QoS to then)

Finally, a caching transparent proxy might help, specially if everyone uses the same sites... it helps the normal browsing (by caching images, css, js, etc) and the updates (local copy if already downloaded). You just need a old computer with some HD and you are done.

For harder to filter services, you can usually block DNS for then... but if you allow it for some time, it might be cached by the clients on peak hours and still work.

Of course, if you control the clients, you can also configure most of then to only download off hours

Finally, you can be a BOFH, permit only allowed traffic and block the rest... or redirect it to some backdoor installer and enjoy the chaos generated

I'm not saying that OpenBSD is useless, but that in the cover of security, have many limitation and performance issues that other OS don't have.

For the NIH, is always the same... everyone have one excuse for the NIH and build a new one instead of fixing the existent one... that is why there are so many NIH cases (not limit to OpenBSD, every team with intelligent people think they can always do better than the next guy/team... sometime they do it, sometimes they don't)

Finally, i'm not saying that OpenBSD don't do useful things, they do and others should use then too!! what i'm saying is that OpenBSD have people that understand security, yet they very rarely help other with their security problems. They only bash other developers and apps and point how superior OpenBSD is... but this don't help solve the problem. For many of then. the world outside OpenBSD simply doesn't exists.

Was he far from true? yes, openbsd is secure... but security objective makes many parts almost unusable...

Need something that already exists?! lets do it all over, because now it will be "secure" (not that the original was insecure, it was just NIH). Helping others fix the problems on their code? no, never! just use our unix and tools.

many BSD developers, specially Theo, just use the security flag as a way to show off how good they are, and how everyone else should thank then for the universe.

But forget Linus, imagine a flame war between Theo De Raadt and Daniel J. Bernstein about security!!! that would be FUN!!

Change to linux!!

Really, windows is just problems, not worthy the trouble.

I migrate my father computer to linux, using Kubuntu.

Before the migration, already changed the email to thunderbird and the office to openoffice (now libreoffice), saving as odt, but teaching to export documents as PDF when sending to others (and solve the .doc/.odt support by others). Média player also setup to VLC and browser firefox.

After more than half year using windows and open applications and solved any difficulty encountered, i finally replaced windows by linux.

In linux, the apps are the same they used in windows, so the migration was easy. I just configured quick-launch icons for the needed apps, associate file extensions to the correct apps (mostly videos to vlc), saved authentications in main sites and main bookmarks in bookmark bar and setup digikam to import the pictures from the camera.

they only had 3 problems: using floppies ( yes, it was some years ago :) ,they didn't umount then all the times... solved by using a sync option for floppies.
Another problem was the .exe files ... most of then are virus, so it IS a good thing they can't execute then. only once it was something useful, so i remotely setup the wine, so they could run the .exe and after that i disabled the wine ( i don't want then executing random things, even on wine).
The final problem was the login page, i was ready to remove it, as they use only one account, but after some days they got used to it and i let it there.

My father uses today linux even better than what he could use windows. My mother only uses the browser on some sites (mostly banking) and have the same difficulties as in windows.

Right now the also have a tablet (BQ edison), that help the quick email check and browsing, making the PC less used.
So migrate to linux if they really need a full PC, install every app they need and configure everything. If not already, replace in windows everything you don't have in linux, to ease the migration (changing less things at same time is always better)
If they don't really need a PC, buy a tablet.

yes, Origin is a sad excuse of DRM system... looking at desura and steam, it's so easy to work with... with Origin, it's a never ending install saga of apps (all full of spyware, just check your firewall logs) and then to play, you have to open the browser and install even more plugins (again heavy and with all sort of tracking).

Those guys need to trash it all and learn that KISS is (and stop trying to spy/track their users)

something that reports 3 axis movement... it looks just like a joystick to me! :)

forget about the name, joystick is the first and main 3 axis mapping device and never change the name with other things start to also do 3 axis mapping.

I'm a linux user and a free software supporter... i try to install everything as free as possible, even the graphic card drivers.
I try to use FLOSS games (and there are many that are fun!) but also play closed ones. If i have the game without DRM (from humblebundle or desura), i will prefer it, if not, the steam DRM isn't that bad... It would be better without any DRM, but steam is very transparent and most users will never see that it even exists.

Right now it's better to have DRM games than no games at all. Going from a totally closed platform (windows and other consoles) with DRM to a open platform with DRM is a step in the right direction. After people/games start ditch windows, the DRM problem can be fixed, specially by the "wallet voting" (ie: stop buying DRM games)

Anyway, game jump from windows to linux is important enough to allow some slack, specially if the main problem is the transparent steam DRM

10+ too late, postfix have since steamroller qmail in all fields

MNG is complex, it can encode the video/animated image in many, many ways, several of then useless for browsers/web, being so complex is hard to use and had no real usage (like all new formats)... and no fallback mechanism... but the MNG people agree to release a subset of MNG for browsers, simpler and with about 5 main encodings/compressions combinations and build plugins for other browsers. Yet then firefox devs reject it again, saying the lib uses too much space (about 200KB IIRC)... basically they simply didn't like the main guy behind the MNG format, nor the technology (NIH "Syndrome"), still saying it was too complex format (video is complex always) and as lame excuse broke the PNG to add the same stupid hack they had done in gif: append new images in the end of a static picture to fake a animation.

PNG group didn't like the idea, PNG it's a STILL image format, pointing that the animated image format equivalent to PNG is the MNG. So Mozilla team still uses APNG for animated images internally in firefox, and the APNG is ignored and unsupported almost elsewhere . Mozilla team still ignores MNG and now prefers to bet on the HTML5 for the future animated image support

MNG is complex, as it allows one to use several compressions methods, it can add alpha to any channel, it can use multiple codecs. It tried to cover all future possible usages and upgrades. But the web subset was "simple" enough to cover both simple image animations (to replace gifs) to small video clips. Compared with APNG, where it only loops by the existent images at different speeds and supported transparency, this format is very simple, but also bigger, not as smooth and not very good at video. Due the lack of a decent web video format, flash slowly took that market and only now, ~10 years later we have finally video support build in in the browser.

Actually should be the driver work to support this.

When a app asks to copy something to the GPU, it ask the GPU drivers, that can use that zero-copy/remap magic and tell the apps its done.

So yes, it should be supported out of the box if the drivers support it right.
