After traveling through Europe and seeing the amount of "pay per use" bathrooms, I am torn. On one hand, there are many more public washrooms than in North America, and they are generally much cleaner. On the other hand, paying to

I've been using a few mini PCs for things where I needed a headless system, but wanted x86_64 and a little more performance and reliability than a Pi, I settled on N3350 devices like the N4 by TrigKey or the Beelink T4. Everything I ne

Cash is quickly losing value. IMO, hold useful assets. Fix things that need to be repaired. Slowly acquire items you want while they are readily available and relatively inexpensive. Above all, be in good health, physically, mentally, emoti

I would recommend running through your docs with a native english speaker. Congratulations on the launch! Be proud of what you've put together here, and looks to be all by yourself too? The infra for a site, backend, and polished mobil

My "side project" makes ~$5K/month but I am constantly worried about it not continuing to bring that in, so I keep my day job which is WFH and very easy. I also never share it because I am concerned about a competitor coming

I've built sites like this; clear, concise, to the point. Not many people used them. Once I started adding a bit more "flair" to it, things got traction. I'm not talking a complete redesign, but I too had to go back to c

This is good reminder, thank you. I am an advocate and user of GrapheneOS, but often find myself using Firefox because of Sync, and because of the bottom toolbar -- which is ridiculous to think about. I understand the want to stay close to

Here's to hoping they maintain this for a while. There are a lot of "hardened Firefox" forks around, none of them that I would trust to follow upstream for a long enough time to switch. I already trust Mullvad enough to use a

I'll just say this, I don't think worrying about the safety of your food supply (or any other goods) is overly paranoid -- environmental disaster or not. I would urge you to consider the motives and reasons of those who would disa

Not making big tech money, but I probably work around 4 hours a week total at my salaried job, and 1 hour a week at my small business -- which even at 1/4 the time brings in 1.5x the money. In the past few years I have taken substantia

If you are currently, you probably have been vulnerable to this and many other undisclosed vulns for years, 3 days isn't going to move the needle much in terms of risk, but indeed it is a step to take.

Ctrl-F "Graphene". Nobody has mentioned GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS and a Pixel phone are about as private and secure as you can get whilst maintaining good usability of a smartphone in 2023. Highly recommended, no affiliation.

Retirement is a financial status, not an age. Gov wants to hold their eymployee pensions until 70? Good luck, most people have already vested and will just exit when they are ready.
