Need a recommendation that replaces Google drive and Google Docs. This is for a writer so it's all about sharing word processing documents between different machines and different locations.

It will be interesting when they independently audit Fort Knox. I bet there's not even half the #Gold there they claim.

Cookbooks are something I have trouble letting go of.

Which ONE book would you recommend to your younger self? 👇

I’ll start with a hidden gem: OPTIONALITY, how to survive and thrive in a volatile world.

It will benefit the handful of them whose jobs aren’t automated into oblivion in the next few years. They accomplished nothing more than galvanizing public opinion against them.

Okay…I know it’s a great book but WTF, Amazon?

How can you take the government’s unemployment rate numbers seriously? Their recent track record is terrible and they have a clear incentive to doctor the stats.

who wants Testflight (iOS only) access to a NIP-60 wallet app I'm building?

10 largest zaps get you access to the testflight and to a NIP-29 community (also available through the app)

As a chef I am constantly scanning menus for value. Noting prices on items that are deals and others that have a higher margin.

An example is a mixed fish dish at a Mexican restaurant near me. A pretty good deal year ago when it was 35 dollars.

Six months later it was 45. last week it was 50.

My chef mind sees a declining value.

What I had missed was the fact that my menu scanning was increasingly shifting to watching changing prices at restaurants I frequent.

To the point that i know look at the prices first.

It’s a slippery slope.

the state is violence.

if you want to stop the violence you undermine the state.

not simp for politicians making bullshit promises.

they are going to be MORE violent, not less.

Do you really need a VPN?

Basics recap for consumer VPNs:

1. Not everyone needs a VPN. It depends on your threat model / jurisdiction you live in / expectations around privacy. You need to understand the extent of protection they provide to assess that.

2. Despite what most VPN providers will tell you in their marketing speak, using a VPN alone will be ineffective or useless for:

- Achieving anonymity or "perfect privacy"

- Preventing tech corporations from profiling you

- Protecting your passwords

- Hiding your mobile phone location

- Providing better security when working from home

3. Trustworthy VPNs can be effective at:

- Encrypting your data and DNS requests so your ISP or mobile network operator cannot monitor or log your online activity

- Masking your IP address from websites and servers you connect to

- Circumventing censorship or geo blocks

- Increasing your security on untrusted public networks by preventing MITM attacks (not common)

If you see claims from a VPN provider contrary to any of the points above, they are either lying to you or are incompetent. 95% of them won't pass this test.
