Ruby has a number of solutions for this - rvm (the oldest, but less popular these days), rbenv (probably the most popular), chruby/gem_home (lightweight) or asdf (my personal choice as I can use the same tool for lots of languages). All of those tools install to locations that shouldn't need root.

That's good advice. I already made that assumption when the leak was first publicised and changed all of my important passwords the same day. I'm just trying to decide whether it's worth changing the hundreds of other low value passwords that were once stored in LastPass. I migrated to another service a few years ago, but I'm concerned the attackers have got hold of older backups, containing sensitive data that I had deleted, but with LastPass's poor communication, there is no way of knowing.

One of the most frustrating things about the LastPass leak is that they still haven't provided all the information needed to determine whether a customer is at risk.

For example, it's clear backups were stolen, but they won't say how old the backups were, or what their retention policy is. So even if you changed your password to a stronger one, with more rotations, it may be that the attacker got hold of very old backups with weaker security. I've asked their support team for information about time windows of backups stolen, if they have a retention policy and whether it was adhered to, but they won't share that information. Instead we are left with a blog post that is more than a month old, no recent updates, and questions remaining unanswered. I'm a paying 'enterprise' customer, and they are meant to be ISO270001 compliant, so a retention policy should be a pretty simple thing to share.

Unicorn Hunt is definitely the best place to look in the UK. Many of the other job boards are just full of agency posts.

Yes, I'd love to interview startup people visiting London, so just let me know when you're over. I'll also introduce you to other startup people and some great events, like Silicon Drinkabout, if you'd like.

Actually the burger in the picture is healthier than you'd think. It's very good quality beef. I have a balanced diet and exercise lots. I also subscribe to the 'fat is not the enemy' school of thought. Maybe I'll take some before and after photos to prove it!

That's a good point, but in this case, I'm guessing that Tom will be more than happy with me blogging about how good his burgers are a few times a week, and introducing 500 new customers :-)

Actually, I think it will be healthy. I'll probably do 2-3 interviews a week, so it's not like I'll be eating burgers for every meal. Burger Bear's burgers are made with very good quality beef. I am somebody who exercises regularly, and from my work at my startup Tribesports, I'm very aware of how to balance my activity and diet. In fact, one of the things I might do on the blog is record my weight and health throughout the project.

Excellent comment.
