Now is the best time to remember: if there's something you value online, download it. There's no problem with downloading the entirety of wikipedia, and it's actually pretty easy and light to do so. Get your favorite songs, m

Please make this a series and monitor your vitals. Maybe routine cognitive tests would be a fun thing to do, like memory games or playing 10 games on lichess bullet daily, so we could track if the microsleeping is effective or not.

VPNs just shift trust from the service provider to the VPN provider, and I don't have much reason to do so for most of my uses. NordVPN or Surfshark are way scummier than a harmless blog or HN, for example, and have more financial and

Also don't use non-HTTPS websites while using Tor, and avoid downloading things on hidden services. Using a clearnet website's hidden service is better than the https version if available (duckduckgo and reddit offer both, for exa

Getting the State involved is just a different, much worse threat actor than Google, though. From this discussion it should be evident how much more sovereignity passwords give you, if you want the State involved it should regulate websites

I switched from Windows 10 to Fedora KDE 2 years ago and it's been good. Not great, but good. I do have the occasional problem with drivers and whatnot, but honestly Windows was just as bad, just with different stuff, and Windows was m

Getting into your bitwarden account should be at least as hard as getting into your authenticator app or stealing your hardware key, though, if you're using it as intended, so I think it's ok for 2FA

With passwords, no account was even lost in the scenario for a recovery flow to start. An account recovery flow is only necessary because of the superfluous extra security, which will almost inevitably introduce more attack vectors than bef

In econometrical terms it would be "double causality", as it forms a vicious cycle. Using your phone to self-soothe leads to not developing real hobbies, which leads to more isolation, which leads to more phone usage. Say you deci

If you stop using your phone for anything other than communicating (yes, not just the loose "stop doomscrolling" advice) a lot of these will come naturally. It will lead you to using a real alarm clock and not using your phone aft

Different use cases, IMO. With a cloud solution like this it's much easier to ask it to solve whatever issues or backlog tasks you have and continue working on your own on your main project. I don't think this is a solution for vi

Good to see competition for Codex. I think cloud-based async agents like Codex and Jules are superior to the Claude Code/Aider/Cursor style of local integration. It's much safer to have them completely isolated from your own

I'm really really enjoying the Codex UX so far, though. Having it in the cloud makes it so much safer, as it can't access my local data, and the slowness isn't so bad if you make a few changes to how you work on a project. It
