How have Kwikset Smartkey locks failed in your experience? They seem to work fine here. I have seen old ones where the paint eventually peels off, but the mechanical parts work fine.

Also, all the energy spent on upgrading the door does not help if the burglar is just going to break a window.

Comment Re:When Debian's Chromium is "no longer supported" (Score 1) 294

Debian Stable, as of this writing, has Chromium [1] version 63.0.3239.84-1~deb9u1, which is roughly up to date with the current Chrome Stable Channel release. Given this, I'm not sure why you claim it is out of date. Are you running oldstable? In which case, you would have Chromium [2] version 57.0.2987.98-1~deb8u1, which is indeed about 9 months out of date and vulnerable.

There is another way to go about it. If you trust Google's Linux software repository, you can install the repo's GPG key first: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Flinuxre...

After that, all downloads from Google, e.g. apt-get install google-chrome-stable, gets the same GPG verification as anything from Debian/Ubuntu. Downloads are still over HTTP, just like Debian/Ubuntu, because the GPG verification is there to actually verify the downloads.
