If it’s at that point:
- Set up a password manager on your desktop
- Change your account passwords to something too long to remember, and keep them in the password manager
I have a Pixel phone with Graphene for offline maps, Wi-Fi, emergency calls, etc.

- Comment on Desiccant dehumidifiers are fascinating... but not for everyone [29:19] 1 week ago:
Maybe it’s uncommon to have a climate where you need both.
My furnace has a humidistat so in the winter we can adjust how much water gets sent into the hot air stream. But it’s always maxed out because it’s really dry every winter here.
In the summer, the AC takes care of dehumidifying. Running a dedicated dehumidifier would be a waste of electricity, at that point just turn on the AC and any extra cold is a buffer against running the AC later on.
- Comment on Left 4 Dead creator teasing new four player co-op shooter 2 weeks ago:
I don’t see myself ever playing a video game with cards in it.
I hear “cards” or “deck-building” or “RPG mechanics” and I think oh my god this is going to be a boring slog where I have to constantly make pointless decisions instead of doing what I want to do, which is shooting zombies

- Comment on Are password managers secure to use? 1 month ago:
I do SyncThing and KeePass.
Their URLs at time of writing are syncthing.net and keepass.info
I don’t remember which KeePass UI for Android I use. I think I use Syncthing Fork on Android
That gives me the benefits of a cloud password manager, but the only cloud infrastructure is whatever SyncThing uses to do its peer-to-peer tricks. The password database is encrypted on disk with my root password, and then it’s encrypted end-to-end in transit because every SyncThing node knows the public keys of my other nodes.
I almost never upgrade KeePass because I’m afraid of losing access to my passwords on my phone. SyncThing I do upgrade because that’s easier to fix.
If you upgrade regularly, you’re vulnerable to the project being compromised. If you never upgrade, you’re vulnerable to whatever old code is vulnerable to. Personally I err on the side of not upgrading often.
I also have my own implementation of diceware www.eff.org/dice

Usually both.
