With just a USB drive, PortableApps, and VeraCrypt, you have what you need to create a portable, encrypted file and password manager that works on Windows and Linux using simple plain-text files. PortableApps provides a Start Menu-like GUI interface and selection of apps that can be installed.

A surprisingly well-written and deep look at cyberpunk and its origins in sci-fi and its growth into its own. From short stories to books to movies and video games, it’s all here. And perhaps, most importantly, the meaningful, existential ideas and questions that cyberpunk surfaces also get attention throughout.
Prince Edward Island is a place out of time, a place behind the time, a place resting in time: Cradled on the waves, as the indigenous Mi’kmaq called it. PEI has a long history with our Ontario-based family having road-tripped out many times in our childhood. My father and my brother, and their families, have…
