It’s 30 minutes to the nearest town with a hospital. 2hrs from a moderate metro city with a large hospital. It’s isolated, not hundreds-of-km into the boonies.

300 acres on the westward-facing slope of the interior cascade temperate rainforest. Even if the entire region sees extended drying over the next 50, there will still be sufficient rainfall for crops. All it will need are a few holding pools to reliably produce a year-round supply.
It’s also reasonably remote, difficult to reach unless you know of the specific path, and reasonably defensible.

I love full-fat Bitwarden on desktop, as it makes admin tasks a lot easier than keyholing through that tiny browser interface.
For example, my wife and I are joint on a hell of a lot of accounts such as loyalty accounts and online stores. If I were to update a password, I would need to have that cascade down to her transparently and automatically, no extra actions needed.
And yet, those are only a small fraction of the accounts that we each have, privately and not immediately accessible to each other. Which should not be accessible to each other - they should be private to ourselves.
This is why, for now, Bitwarden works for us, and other password managers like KeePass are unable to meet some pretty important thresholds.
I will keep a close eye on this project, but for now it just doesn’t meet my needs
WFH saw productivity rise, employee satisfaction rise, and retention numbers rise. It is an unqualified success at improving the bottom line.
But there were too many CEOs deeply invested in business real estate, and too many middle managers too scared of not looking useful. So employees were forced back into the office to be miserable and disaffected.
AI may not be the best answer, but it’s loads better than WFH.
May JS die a quick death so that WebAssembly can take its place.
What should accompany the export is a cross-platform binary that has no dependencies (a 2026 binary could still run on Windows 18 in 2045, for example), and whose sole purpose is to decrypt and display that export once the proper credentials (password, etc.) have been provided. With options to print or provide access to copy-paste.
Because the one person scenario is incredibly limiting by itself, and I would argue that the 2 adult option can be the most useful for a couple whose lives are very intertwined.
Hell, I have a video game package from 1991 - Moraff Games - that still works perfectly fine on the latest Win11 for Workstations (44C/88T, 256Gb). So it can be done, especially if you craft the installer to be a suggestion rather than a requirement (some really old ones no longer work right, and I have to manually extract and install those programs).
Microsoft is making all indications that it is behaving like a colossal dick. It’s not a good look. As always: if you find yourself in a deep hole, stop digging.
With science writing, in terms of published papers, this makes perfect sense. You want to avoid imparting your own biases and interpretations in favour of letting the data speak for itself. That means the author needs to quite severely “step aside” from a literary perspective.
Yes, but you need to learn to linger over the text. To read it slowly in order to analyze how all the different parts fit together, to critically examine the overall structure, to consider how you would have or could rewrite it, to drill down into even the choice of words and how synonyms could have changed meaning and interpretation, to re-read it over and over across the years to see how your own life experiences change how you read the exact same content.
IMO not many people are either built for that, or are willing to expend that effort. Even I stumble - a lot.
Except there usually is a right answer, only it tends to be buried under several layers of “how do you want this to be interpreted?”
The one thing I have learned about writing is that the same sentence can have wildly different interpretations between people if it’s written sloppily enough. Your core meaning could still very well be there, but because the prose was sloppy, it opened the door to alternative interpretations that you cannot control.
Now sometimes there is no way to refine it further. But most of the time it can be.
And then, even after sharpening the prose, you need to take your reader into account. What works for an adult might not work for a teenager. When I was a kid, I remember having a doctor in the hospital ask me if I was nauseous, and I replied, “there is nothing wrong with my nose”. I had never come across that word before, and associated the sound that went into its pronunciation with the closest other word I knew - the word for nose. The doc had failed to take into account people with a more limited vocabulary, setting up a chance for medical misinterpretation - I had indeed been sick to my stomach, but because he didn’t ask about it in those simpler words, he almost didn’t learn about it.
Writing is even more bereft of context, and so you need to not only sharpen the prose to cut off undesirable paths of interpretation, but also write for what your audience knows. And sometimes this can be one hell of a rabbit hole in of itself.
I have a 2002 mirrored drive door G4 with dual 1.25Ghz CPUs - the last fully compatible with 9.2.2 directly on the iron - and I’ll be eagerly trying this browser out when I set it up later this year.
…wait, what? I’m in my mid-50s, and I do.
Sure, you need to establish trust with the major providers like gMail, but having an account there and passing some eMails back and forth every year tends to do the trick just fine.
Wages are too low
Both parents need to work just to survive
Homes are too expensive
Food is too expensive
Clothing is too expensive
Post-secondary education has become a scam
One serious sickness and - in America, at least - you are bankrupt for decades
The list goes on and on.
The number of childless couples will go up as the need for children decreases - this is obvious from places like Norway and Finland - but a focus on strong nuclear families with little to no financial stresses arising out of having children will encourage most who do want them to actually try to have them.
Not because of coal burning, but because of unforeseen feedback loops and trophic collapses in nature due to the unprecedented inertia that this current climate change event has.
By some estimates, this event has over 100,000× greater inertia than any other climate change event in Earth’s history, including the “great dying” which came the closest to wiping all life from the planet.
A true Venus Scenario may indeed occur because the heating will likely go on for many more centuries after humanity goes extinct.
And those who argue against RCP8.5 are no different than people who scoop a glass of water out of the ocean and proclaim that the oceans have no fish - their own studies are comically limited to tiny aspects of the overall disaster, blinding them to the horrors of the full picture.
And the fact that simple tourists - including Canadian ones - have been abducted by ICE and locked up in those concentration camps is plain overkill. We’re likely never returning until right-wing politics no longer exists down there. We have our own evils up here, we don’t need to be faced with America’s sociopaths and malignant narcissists.
Because I would love to see anonymous and Antifa having fun with this, especially if it’s the latter.
Bonus if it’s E2EE, with fully anonymizing features like no server logs or tracking.
Edit: without any kind of a dedicated app, this will have trouble getting traction. If the website is already a full PWA (on mobile, just haven’t checked), it should be enhanced to allow users to pin it to their phone’s screen just like an app.
Someone is smoking something _strong_ over at the motley fool.
I think you need to know about the JarKey (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00167Z2UO/). Does the job without any risk of damaging glass or even the jar lid itself.
Strangely enough, there are specific exceptions even within those two types that don’t get recycled or cannot be recycled. But the average consumer can’t be expected to know what those exceptions are and should not be forced to recognize those details, so just go ahead and recycle all type 1 & 2 plastics.
The best thing you can do with types 3 through 7 - which, almost without exception, are almost never recycled - is to just chuck them straight into the garbage. They’ll be properly sealed into a landfill where they won’t affect the wider environment.
I mean, I turn that shit off. I have separate eMails for a damn good reason, but I can understand if someone wants all their junk dropped into one messy pile instead of keeping things neatly separated. To each their own.

Edit: ah, more Cloudflare malware-like MiTM shenanigans. Typical evil-empire shit, I suppose.
If you’re tiny and no-one directly relies on your code except you yourself, especially if it’s all personal projects that don’t produce an income of any kind, a large CVS like GitHub is perfectly fine.
If you’re a large corporation whose size and visibility makes any shutdown a Very Big Problem for GitHub, you are insulated by sheer size and legal/economic threat.
But anyone in between? JFC, do honest risk assessments on something approaching a regular cadence. Figure out what happens to service users on a frequent basis, and start covering your arse against those risks.
In OP’s case, even something as simple as scripted backups to a destination outside of GitHub could have massively reduced all sorts of risks. While it would have taken some effort, a very recent backup could have allowed him to jump to something self-hosted (ForgeJo, etc.) over a day or three, letting him give a big middle finger to GitHub without having to wait most of a month.
Learn from other people’s mistakes. OP was very brave to provide this as a learning experience for everyone to benefit from -- don’t let it go to waste.
Honestly, I don’t know where the downvotes are coming from. Do people have no clue about service resiliency? I can understand if it’s a personal project or you haven’t yet scaled to paying customers, but anything at scale with serious money involved needs to be completely independent of the underlying hosting. It should remain up even if an entire provider goes titsup.
