Chrome Remote Debugging on Windows

KeePass + ssh

I’ve been using KeePass Professional Edition for a few months now, and I’m always discovering new things to do with it. For example, I’ve got HQ photos of my driver’s license so that I can go to the gym without carrying my full wallet (if that’s illegal I totally don’t do that). I’ve got a couple of shared databases that sync off my main personal database that I can share with family and friends, which means I change update my accounts without the old hassle of texting everyone the new credentials.
