It's best to keep an eye on any cloud storage providers you're using. Amazon Drive is being discontinued at the end of 2023, and Apple is winding down My Photo Stream this summer.

Google could start purging old Gmail accounts by end of year

Google will delete accounts, including Gmail & Photos, that haven’t logged on in 2 years

An important part of security is knowing your rights in your jurisdiction and any exceptions to them. Appealing to higher authority can sometimes be helpful against overreach, and you never know when a little civic knowledge will come in handy.

POINT TIME-LOCKED CONTRACTS

With PTLCs, each party creates a secret value that is used to generate a partial signature that is exchanged with the other party, and then combined to create a complete signature for the transaction. This eliminates linkability, protects lightning nodes from on-chain surveillance.

Biometric data like eye scans aren't necessarily a magic authentication method like sci-fi movies often suggest.

If a bad actor gets a hold of your eye data, there's no easy way to update your eye like you can with a password.

A crypto exchange is a black box. As we learned last year with the collapses of FTX, Celsisus, and others, you often don't know what takes place at exchanges until it's too late.

Withdrawing to self-custody is the best way to have bitcoin you can audit on your own.
