Interesting, I tend to worry less about the password store than external password managers. Maybe you are onto something and I should research it further. But the breaches I hear about have all been with external managers. I particularly don’t want anything uploading passwords to remote storage. If I have to share a password between two machines (laptop and phone), I just transfer it manually. Another minor nuisance.

I just set fennec to delete all the cookies and stuff when I “quit” from the pulldown menu. Yeah that logs me off of sites but that’s ok, I use the built in password store to log back in quickly. If I just close the browser rather than selecting “quit”, the cookies stay around. So I use “quit” when I want to get rid of the cookies, maybe a few times a day.

Fennec has a setting that does that?

Pair of Light My Fire nylon sporks, in my belt pack. They come in handy.

Not quite EDC: handheld luggage scale. Surprising how often I want to weigh something while out and about.

This light uses three 18650’s.

Raspberry pi cameras aren’t that bad a deal.

Saw reddit thread about this. Apparently the jail sentence is all but symbolic, since the defendants are currently outside Switzerland. As long as they don’t go back, they will never see the inside of a jail.

I had always heard that bisexuals had twice the chance of getting a date on Saturday night. TIL.

Yeah I did that multiple times as a kid. It’s gonna hurt and itch like hell for a while. You can spray Solarcaine on it and that helps. Better wear two million sunblock next time.

I thought there was already proposition 13 from the 1970s.

About prison labor.

Yeah it’s not called “global staying-the-same-temperature”.

If it’s from a memorable phrase, then the phrase has a lot of redundancy and it’s hard to estimate the actual entropy. Generating a random phrase and writing it on a slip of paper works for me. Keep the paper in your pocket and refer to it when you need to, instead of trying to memorize it. Once you’ve typed it into the computer a few times, you remember it automatically. At that point you can swallow the paper or use your favorite alternate secure disposal method ;).

Nobody remembers diceware?

Why does it matter if someone chooses to wear a mask or not? Maybe it’s a great excuse to avoid facial recognition software.

Sunglasses are better for that. The idiots trying to ban masks aren’t trying to fight crime, they just want to normalize spreading illness.

I wear a respirator whenever I’m in an indoor public space like a store, and I also don’t spend more time in those spaces than I have to. I go into the store and get what I need, but I generally don’t linger around browsing stuff. That means I probably buy less stuff, which is good for my wallet as well. But politicians hate that. They want us out there spending. That’s why they are trying to play down covid risks. So they hate mask and respirator usage since it reminds others that the virus is still out there.

You ought to wear a respirator (N95) rather than a mask (those baggy blue procedure masks). Respirators help keep you from getting sick.

I’m still wearing mine and we are in a covid surge right now. We can talk again if there are a few consecutive months with no significant spread. That might in fact be never.

Mozilla, you’re drunk. Go home and go to bed.

The Lou Reed cover of that is also a classic.

I remember a movie about one being found on the moon.
