My previous setup was β€œa keepass file in Dropbox”. Keepass was great too but no sync. It felt great deleting Dropbox when I was done migrating too, because I sure wasn’t using that for anything else.

This is or may not feel helpful for you rn, but (speaking as a cranky engineer who gets driven nuts by modern shitty software) Bitwarden is seriously a delight.

It’s the difference between wanting a banana and getting a banana vs getting a banana but also a gorilla is holding it for you and also the whole jungle

It’s not misleading, he’s saying that sometimes it’s well worth being surgical about that one call to e.g windows.SetConsoleMode if that’s all you actually need.

I popped in to ask him if he wanted his name forever associated with terrorist attacks. Nfi if he'll see it or if it will spark both neurons but we live in hope.

Loving this phrasing BTW "intentional manufacture of inconveniences" is perfect. Interfluidity remains one of the most consistently eloquent blogs i have ever read.

Engineers? Thats the guys we laid off because, what i'm saying to you is, what i'm saying is they were talking all the time about unproductive stuff like 'safety' and 'maintenance', it was hard to understand stuff so we just moved past it.

Look. What i'm saying to you is, what i'm saying to you is engines catch fire and fail halfway to sydney all the time, what i'm saying to you is its a feature.
