If your memory can’t hold at least two authentication methods at the same time (phone pin and vault master password), you might have bigger problems.

There are ways though. Bitwarden for example allows you to set a pin once you’ve logged in, so you don’t need to enter your master password every time you reboot your device.

If you have it installed on multiple devices, then you easily have a backup device to check your vault if BW on the device you’re using somehow resets and asks you to enter the master password again. You can even store your computer password in your vault and use your phone to see it if your forget. While not advisable, you can set BW on your phone to have the same pin code as your phone, if you really have a hard time memorizing more than one code.

My wife and I share a music streaming account, so if I’m driving and I know she’s using it at home, I switch to radio in the car. But I don’t listen to music, I usually end up listening to NPR or something.

In that case, use whatever you prefer. The fact that you are even considering the morality of using OSS over proprietary means you actually want to steer away from the latter given the choice. The only questions remaining are: Will the OSS alternative allow you to do your work as efficiently and effectively as the proprietary one at the minimum? Will using the OSS alternative negatively affect others using proprietary software that you need to work with?

I’m surprised they were still there until this point. But yeah, good for them.

Yeah that was a weird sentence. You don’t need Siri to use navigation.

Like all countries where this has happened before, it all depends on which side the military chooses. The outcome will be decided by a couple of generals.

Not to mention the things drifting around you in the darkness that you can’t see but can probably feel.

I learned about this a couple of months ago and I’ve since disabled previews in notifications. It’s unfortunately the nature of how notifications are delivered to you. You should be fine by disabling message previews in your notification settings.

Using Bitwarden’s cloud service. I don’t trust myself enough to maintain and secure a self-hosted online password vault. Also like others said, google maps. The sheer volume of crowsourced data they have is very useful for real-time navigation especially if you live in a city with heavy traffic.

Any chance you can do a lateral move within your current work? Might be easier, but you’ll probably have to accept a “demotion” if you have less experience than the people already there. On the other hand, you don’t “lose” your job and have to go through the entire process of quitting and applying. Having established connections and know-who’s within the org might also make it easier to pivot.

Right now, no. But I plan on upgrading to a bigger screen, so the current living room tv might be delegated to the bedroom, if I don’t end up selling it.

I like that depiction they used of artistic tools attached to a gear.

Unlimited free home maintenance. Cleaning, laundry, repairs, yard work, etc.

There’s probably already an underlying mental health issue, and it’s just getting exacerbated by the LLM.

They kinda blew up recently because of their KEXP performance, but I discovered Angine de Poitrine like 2 weeks before that.

I also discovered 88Kasyo Junrei around the same time. Fantastic band.

For my pov at my work, there’s definitely that disconnect between what the executives are saying and the ones lower down the chain who are actually tasked to implement and support those new technologies.

There’s a company-wide mandate to use AI, so naturally everyone is trying to inject it into their projects. But the idea of putting AI into something is different from actually implementing it, and the latter is far more complicated with all the governance and security involved. And all these teams are escalating everything because of how long stuff takes to get reviewed and approved or how complicated it is for them (the non-tech people) to actually deploy it themselves. People think they can just deploy a local MCP server on their laptop, or deploy a cloud compute on their own and run it from there. Deploying something in production infrastructure is not as simple as creating a new compute and installing whatever you want.

I’m gonna take a guess that a big portion of it is infrastructure-as-code, the operations side and not product development itself. I work in the operations side of things and we never touch the product at all, but we deal with a lot of code due to how backend infrastructure is built and maintained now, especially if you’re in the cloud.

I already have solar panels on the roof, but I’m waiting for plug-in panels to become legal and available. I have a lot of space in my west-facing backyard I can fill with panels. I’m also waiting for sub-30k EVs to become available in my area of the world.

Knowing what they are saying to each other (which is all that encryption prevents) is often less important.

I don’t think I agree with this one. For most people’s use-cases, privacy is more important than anonymity. Like, I don’t care that you know I’m chatting with my wife, I just don’t want you to be able to read it. And Signal provides that service. Obviously for specific cases like whistleblowers, anonymity might be more important (it’s both actually).

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.
