One of the perks of working during this week is that we have "two Fridays". (On second thought, I should've taken off Jan 2nd, too.)

Super slow days at work pre-New Year, following an online course.. 😴

Episodes like this one keep me coming back to WBD for more 💪 https://fountain.fm/episode/4bcYaSKJ5AfrbMdgvMHa

Monday started okay, then some email servers were added to a spam list and emails started bouncing.. 😢 I hadn't heard from RBL black lists in years! #email

Home sweet home 🏡. What did I miss? 😅

And yet another excuse to procrastinate doing more important stuff, bookmark folder hierarchy best practices here I come. GN

Little downtime during Xmas rest lets me do some random homework like reviewing my password manager contents, prune unused accounts, etc. After "Xmas cleaning" I have only about 300 entries. Only 300...🤔 Found accounts from forums back in the day., where I would happily enter my full name and birth date.. 😵‍💫

GM. Last few days of 2025. 😉

It's that time of the year when you have a bit of bandwidth to update a gazillion (va. 250) accounts to new email aliases: - login to website, often 2FA, create alias, set new email address on site, verify, login with new email, 2FA again, next. Today was a good day, so much that the alias service has rate limited me hahahah. End goal is a simpler, more granular setup and cheaper than my previous setup. #privacy #identityAttribution

My home servers became unreachable all of a sudden and I bet it's just the broadband modem that needs power cycling. Anybody has a smart plug setup to automate this "turn it off and on again" functionality? #IFTTT

Refreshing my memory about GnuPG and what's changed in the last x years (where x > 10). #encryption #OpenPGP #gnupg #privacyMatters

Reading about ways for SIP/VoIP to work around Network Address Translation because.. (edit: NAT is evil 😈)

Currently reading "How to make your brain your best friend", by Dr. Rachel Barr. 👌 #reading #books

GM plebs. 👋

More reverberation to #bitcoin becoming more accepted by tradfi institutions (banks) to an extent it's not news as it used to be. How long until the rest start wondering why they are NOT embracing it?

I enjoy many interviews of #WBD's, but this one is top notch 👌#SeedSigner #btc #bitcoin https://fountain.fm/episode/nenqabQLdmC21iPPWdTp View quoted note →

Doing some reading on virtual phone numbers. I want to trial a couple of systems. Having different email addresses is relatively easy, but phone numbers feels a bit more convoluted. How many phone numbers is enough?
