I think I would wait for changes in their mission and policies before I start moving anything.

Ironically, salt has probably killed more people than both Sodium explosions and Chlorine gas combined.

Escalators and moving walkways are there to get you somewhere faster and with less effort. They are not meant to ferry your fat ass the entire way. That’s what elevators and carts are for. Move it!!!!

I. ORDERED. EXTRA. PAWPURRRONI!

This is some ignorant FUD. Everything you just listed is technology companies, who get blamed for every computer failure whether its their fault or not, trying to prevent those problems. TrustedComputing and TPM is a direct answer to malware. UEFI a direct answer to ever increasingly complicated computer hardware, kernel-level DRM is a direct answer to software piracy and online game cheaters.

These things are implemented because there's a lot of people making a lot of money ruining the lives of people who just want to use their computer. Just because YOU can't explain it, doesn't mean it's evil.

I'm here for Pushing Daisies.

Musicbrainz Picard --> mp3Tag --> MusicBee

• Picard handles the initial tagging.
• mp3Tag handles the clean-up. I like things "just so", and some of the time Picard goes rogue. The Actions function is super powerful for automating "fixing" tags. Oh, and you can cut, filter and paste an entire directory's worth of song tags if you want to bulk remove a bunch of unwanted tags that Picard adds.
• MusicBee is the database. I like the Inbox feature that allows me to do a last check before "promoting" the files to my master library.

There are portable versions of all three, so you can lock a version in your music directory and never worry about updates ruining your tags.

Blister packaging for fucking everything.

The 4 most important things for stripping Google out of your life are:

1. Your phone (Location and Internet usage)
2. Your browser (Internet history)
3. Gmail (intimate details of your life)
4. Google Login (federates your identity across their Ad business and tracks your search history)

Everything else is nice to have, but not as “signal generating”.

Remove those and set your Google History to 30 days in your account settings and Google loses a lot of your identity really fast.

The answer is an SSH reverse tunnel. Have privoxy running in the rPi listening on localhost. Have it then connect to your home server via SSH with reverse tunnels enabled, tunneling the privoxy port. On your home server you run another instance of Privoxy that’s listening in your home network and proxy forwarding over the tunnel and you’re done.

I used to use this setup for pen testing.

Binder clips to bind the curtains together. Sometimes hotels have hangers with pants clips on them, for everywhere else? Binder clips.

Keeper's Browser extension is/was trash. Recently it had a bug where, on some websites, it'll kept pasting my MFA token in every single number field on every page for the website, long after authentication finished.

I am paying for Cursor, which can use various models to help with software development. I use the AI to help me create design documents for software ideas I have and use those design documents to guide it in the development of that code. I’ve tried free models on my own hardware and they don’t come close, mostly because I don’t have a spare $5k for the right GPUs.

I don't do that for a living anymore

Yeah, that’s the definition of mainstream. I remember that SXSW when everyone was trying to get their friends to try this indie social media app called Twitter. I wonder what happened to that little app?

That is a good looking model!

Who?

I mean, you can, or you can use it to assure your firewall is configured correctly. The entire Internet is scanning you at all times, why would you focus your attention on one of the services who is willing to share their results with you?

Believe me, you probably have lower hanging fruit to pick.

It's like you read all the features of Obsidian, and posted them here so you could trick some dumb son-of-a-bitch into saying "Just use Obsidian!"

...wait
